inspired by the myth of gold, the ethic of ownership is the value that makes us all
prisoners. the wall that keeps us all in the prison of ownership is money. break out of

DAYTIME PARANOIA BECOMES A JOKE AT NIGHT
Some false-bottom fear holds downtown day in a hopeless comicstrip. Waiting for a payoff from parking meters? Flames to erupt from desks full of
guilty gum-wrappers? Boring late-to-work lies—just one float flight slip skip could
lose a living nobody's making and then where? Discontinued.
BusFace to LunchFace. Sidewalk strangers even at
apathetic 4 o'clock only touch in recoil. StreetFace to HomeFace. Hear who really happened
on the 7 o'clock news.
Abstract China and somebody else's riot.
Black Muslim minister in Cleveland predicted a solar
eclipse in June as Allah's sign of impending war with China. Cleveland's terrified mayor
tried to cover—National Guard troops if there was no eclipse, a promise that troops
would remain in Cleveland Armory if there was an eclipse and war.
Bombgod Nickeldime mind!
Downtown faces, can you look in the mayor's eyes? There
is no pushbutton for the sun and billyclubs pump more blood than you can swallow. Are you
afraid to vomit salary and turn off atomic commercials? Bombgod is a deadpan ghost shaking
down old ladies for life insurance.
We need not apply to job bodycounters. Up all night being
meteors finally laid . . . off. Locked out screwed . . . and screwing, thank you.
Celestial spine work paid in grace.
Risk roof—to be in the night together whose bed.
Risk food—harvesting machines leave half a crop to
rot, fishing boats junk half a catch—feasts wait for celebrants. Start with one spine
and stars. Bombgod gets the living dead.
The earth will supply sufficient resources to feed,
clothe and house its entire population, if we only put our minds to that
problem.—Buckminster Fuller.
The moon, in its first quarter is in Pisces and the Viet

made it into the impregnable American Embassy again, but all were killed during a
counterattack on their embassy by American paratroopers who landed on the roof in
helicopters.

Police Chief Blackmoor of San Jose said today that police
should act quickly and on their own to quell campus riots.

They were immigrants who had come too far off for their
lord to be traced and who, since their serfdom could not be presumed, necessarily passed
for free, although born of unfree parents.
But the fact had to be transformed into a right.
It was essential that the villains, who came to settle in
the towns to seek a new livelihood, should feel safe and should not have to fear being
taken back by force to the manors from which they had escaped.
They must be delivered from labor services and from all
the hated dues by which the servile population was burdened, such as the obligation to
marry only a woman of their own class and leave to the lord part of their inheritance.
Willy-nilly, in the course of the 12th century, these
claims, backed up as they often were by dangerous revolts, had to be granted.
The most obstinate conservatives, such as Guibert de Nogent, in 1115, were reduced to a wordy revenge, speaking of those "detestable
communes" which the serfs had set up to escape from their lord's authority and to do
away with his most lawful rights.
Freedom became the legal status of the bourgeoisie, so
much so that it was no longer a personal privilege only, but a territorial one, inherent
in urban soil just as serfdom was in manorial soil.
In order to obtain it, it was enough to have resided for
a year and a day within the walls of the town.
Stadtluft macht frei ! — City air makes a man free!
And the city was pure gold,
like unto clear glass.
And the gates of it shall not be shut
at all by day.
for there shall be no night there.
