" To make the private into something public
is an action that has terrific repercussions in the
preinvented world. The government has the job
of maintaining the day to day illusion of the
ONE TRIBE NATION.
Each public discourse of a private reality
becomes something of a magnet
that can attract others with a similar frame of reference:
thus each public discourse of a fragment of
private reality serves as a dismantling tool
against the illusion of ONE TRIBE NATION;
it lifts the curtains for a brief peek and reveals
the possible existence of literally
millions of tribes … "

I just walked around in Battery Park during lunch,
stomped around in the snow with my work shoes
( fuck good Italian leather ),
and lapped up the falling crystals.
It was so dreamy.
Odd was that the ocean is still liquid.
The cold hasn't affected it.
I stood by the wharves for some time
listening to the waves bumping against
the white-blanketed concrete.
Of course when returning to the city street,
the snow was piss ass muddy slush
overtrodden by boots and spike heels and butts.
Ick.
I'm going home later tonight
to roll around in the fresh snow
in my little plot of asphalt garden.
Multi-Tribe Nationalist,
Yvonne.
