SMARTIES ~

YOUR SMART PHONE MESSAGE



 
you know

the social



order is

fucked

 

when the

assassin

 

ignores

his enemies

 

and instead

shoots

 

his

friends

one more tragedy. . .Seattle

no matter where my eye goes now — town & country —

 everyone but me & the crazy guy

 owns a smart phone

 has their ears plugged with buds, wears head phones

 is tuned IN while OUTdoors. 

They see and feel but don’t hear the breezes

 all parts of the day, their messages are constant

and when not there — expectant!

Life on the edge.

Ray Johnson has forever been my favorite modern artist (USA) — a mixture of so many — Duchamp, de Kooning, Picasso, Cornell, Cage, Brainard, Warhol, Bruce Conner, and somebody I'm missing. It's good to miss somebody, keep a space open.

"Dear Andy,

I telephoned John Cage and t old him

that you wanted me to  interview him for Inter

view and he laughed and laughed and said  "That's

the funniest thing I've ever heard."

I said  "Maybe we could not talk to each other

for a half hour?"

Ray"
