Adams" <ringfingers-AT-yahoo.com> Subject: [postanarchism] Cage: "Anarchism" "Anarchism" by John Cage We don't need government We need utilities. Air, water, energy Travel and communication means Food and shelter. We have no need for imaginary mountain ranges Between separate nations. We can make tunnels through the real ones. Nor do we have any need for the continuing division of people Into those who have what they need And those who don't. Both Fuller and Marshal McLuhan Knew, furthermore That work is now obsolete. We have invented machines to do it for us. Now that we have no need to do anything What shall we do? Looking at Fuller's geodesic world map We see that the Earth is a single island, Oahu. We must give all the people all they need to live In any way they wish. Our present laws protect the rich from the poor. If there are to be laws, we need ones that Begin with the acceptance of poverty as a way of life. We must make the world safe for poverty Without dependence on government. - John Cage *** "Writing Through Howl" mAdness coLd-water fLats thE braiNs throuGh wIth aNd academieS Burning monEy maRijuana niGht After endLess cLoud thE motioNless Green joyrIde suN aShcan Brain drainEd of bRilliance niGht (For more, visit the Indeterminacy website at http://www.lcdf.org/indeterminacy/ ) ===="The world is the natural setting of and field for all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions.
