ONLY A CHILD ~

Howdy Doody

he walks

in soft

pajamas at

my cheek

says goodnight

before and

after a

kiss

Gathering Wood

Dark dark in the woods

My son walks, stumbles

Over brush and limbs, looks

Where to step by watching

My legs — how I do it —

Carrying the saw, not

Much talk (he is only two)

But instead we seem to be

Singing quietly about end

Of day around us, the tall

Trees taking light, his hands

Grip dry sticks for a cookstove

And the love of his mother

We are heading back home

Only A Child

Cookstove choco-

late chip cookies

warm the counter

guarded by

toy-soldiers

More Father & Son Quality Time

He found in the farmyard

3 clean white pilgrim goose

Feathers freshly dropped

He picked up a stick

Made a blunt arrow

Strung a bow

He taped the feathers to the arrow

Filled the bow

Aimed it at me

BLIZ~AARD BALL SALE ~

R E A D       M E

One wintry day in 1983, David Hammons peddled snowballs of various sizes. He laid them out in graduated rows and spent the day acting as obliging salesman. Calling the unannounced street action Bliz-aard Ball Sale, he inscribed it into a body of work that, from the late 1960s to the present, has used a lexicon of discreet actions and consciously ‘black’ materials to comment on the nature of the artwork, the art world and race in America.

Although Bliz-aard Ball Sale has been frequently cited and is increasingly influential, it has long been known only through scant descriptions and a handful of photographs. In this engaging study, Elena Filipovic collects a vast oral history of the ephemeral work, uncovering rare images and documents, and giving us singular insight into an elusive artist who has made an art of making himself difficult to find.

LONNIE JOHNSON ~

Friends — ah, I doubt Lonnie Johnson would have minded sharing his song,
but people have their reasons. When this happens on the Birdhouse: please go directly to Youtube and see if the song and Lonnie are hanging out there. If the blockers really don't want us to hear this song,
then let it be. There will be other songs.
