I. Poem for John Cage (I) II. Restoring the contract Modernism Broke (Ask everyone in the audience to stand up and turn to their right. Ask them to turn to the back. Ask them to continue in their revolution until they are facing forward again, and then to take their seats. If you are alone, undertake these actions yourself.) III. Erasing the line between art & life (Write down three things you have recently eaten every time you come to this page. Even if you have already written the three things, or someone else has. Line break after every item of food.) IV. Meditating on the line between art and life (On this page, write whether you think that the poem you wrote in III should be considered a poem—briefly elaborate.) V. Poem for John Cage (II) (Slowly count to ten on your fingers. If you have fewer or more than ten fingers, count to however many fingers you have. If you are reading to an audience, do not explain what you are doing.) VI. Reviving poetry with the thrill of the naughty (Take off one article of clothing. Ask your audience to do the same.) VII. Expanding the genre limited boundaries of poems (Draw a circle in the margin. Now a triangle. Now a rectangle. Do not let their lines touch or cross over each other.

But it is very important to let the page dry before turning.) IX. Isolating the subject from any idea of the real (Close your eyes, and press on your closed eyelids. The colors you see is the poem.) X. Hyperoxygenation (Tear off a piece of this page. Burn it.) |
