Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset

Gravity sucks
I feel contempt within lust
gravely at peace, consume Eros
speech scissors incantatory
ego, lush and alight encumbrance
of particulate essence/artifacts lifted from scene
asterisk parentheses - make liturgical caveats
(for what is abuse, where else but in
deforestation: commandment for psychology
laureates: books remind sometimes of webworld
tho not as durable or utilitarian
especially poem-books and artist's journals
chronicles of attended/yet-unfulfilled wishes?)
grandly approximating Love's assault upon self
and seizure as of mastery
even daring condescend to lordly pulse
in concept if not in grain.
So it is for anyone in grips of
possessing - too-cursive free will insinuating as-faint/exact
as gravity sucks til all is plunder.

Plan for Figment (in silence) Festival 2010 for Gravity Sucks
Gravity sucks is a collaboration with Jesse Newman (Performer in video below - raw footage from Figment 2010), who has previously appeared in our blog posts - Check out his blog While this machine is to him.
Invocation: Silent, solitary, suffocating, and stilling bout of immediate laughter.
Ties: Appear unable to figure out how to tie a tie, so seek out and attain aid from chanced-upon tie-wearers.
Pictures: Attempt to convince passersby to film and photograph performance of familiarity, the products of which will be compiled on blog.
Approvals: Do anything for as long as physically possible except talk.
Introductions: Be unwilling to progress further than a handshake or hug with stranger.
Charities: Convince passersby to accept one penny and that they owe nothing to anyone.
Separations: Undertake with aid of notes to establish unique 'six degrees' that separate two apparent strangers.
