An Open Letter to the MTA

December 13, 2010

Dear MTA,

This morning I woke up on time for work, what can only be called a rare occurrence.  Visions of coffee and bagels danced in my head as I hustled down to the G Train.  Alas, twenty-five minutes, and no train.  In an effort to salvage my professional reputation, I had to spend my last eleven dollars on a taxi, and as a result, have not been able to eat all day long.  Therefore, you, the MTA, owe me exactly eleven dollars, or approximately two small meals.  Please send payment/aliment to:

Itinerant Daughter

c/o the Guggenheim

1071 Fifth Avenue

New York, NY 10128

Regards,

RIP FourLoko!

Me, Wishing I Were Yoko Ono

Patronage Piece

Find an artistically inclined youngster.
Supply him with sketchpads, paints, a room in a seedy hotel, and a weathered copy of the collected works of Arthur Rimbaud.
Watch as he is systematically driven mad by his ambitions and drug habit.
Paint his portrait as he weeps over his wasted life
Sell the portrait to the Guggenheim for seven million dollars.
Keep the money.
———————————————————
From Ono’s Grapefruit

Snow Piece
Think that snow is falling.
Think that snow is falling everywhere
all the time.
When you talk with a person, think
that snow is falling between you and
on the person.
Stop conversing when you think the
person is covered by snow.
————
And one more, for good measure…

Announcement Piece I
Give death announcements each time you
move instead of giving announcements of
the change of address.
Send the same when you die.

What Are You Saying?!

December 6, 2010

Oh no, New York Times!

From an article entitled “Narcissism: The Malady of Me” on the removal of Narcissism from the DSM.

“Do you follow yourself closely on Twitter? Have you been blogging regularly about your coming memoir?”

I’ve done the latter… are you calling me a narcissist?!

The beach, Romanov style 

I mean, honestly, those HATS!

 

Found!

December 2, 2010

I found this on the floor of the Calder Room in the National Gallery in DC.  Funny because when I’m feeling hindered by my sensual desires, I pretend to be a monkey with hand in coconut, too.  I was a bodhisattva and didn’t even know it!
