fuck you bush

america at http://www.asondheim.org/portal/america.exe

is trivial even with the addition of the black bar
from the world trade center how to reconcile mourning and america
and morning in america arriving early in the calling forth of names
listen - new york does not want war - survivors don't want slaughter -
listen - there's been enough of us - we will separate
become the country of new york - become some sort of other world
the lozenge flag will go down easily

Subject: Yoko Ono: CUT PIECE



CUT PIECE

Following the political changes through the year after 9/11, I felt
terribly vulnerable-like the most delicate wind could bring me tears.

It was as though everything I believed in was rapidly melting away, while
I continued walking still carrying my beliefs.

The front page of the papers and the TV news were feeding us what they
wanted to - assaulting our senses. Men without faces were at work. Force
and intimidation were in the air. People were silenced.

I always thought I wanted to live forever, that I was one person who was
not scared of doing so. But would I want to live surrounded by this world
as we know now?

Some people went to Palestine to act as human shields.
That really touched me.
If all of us stood to become human shields instead of machine gunning each
other...
My immediate thought was to join them.
I almost did, and didn't.

Later, the world heard of the death of Rachel Corrie.
She made her stand for all of us.

Cut Piece is my hope for World Peace.
Because today is a very special day for me. Like every day. And I'm
determined to cherish every moment.

When I first performed this work, in 1964, I did it with some anger and
turbulence in my heart. This time I do it with love for you, for me, and
for the world.

Come and cut a piece of my clothing wherever you like the size of less
than a postcard, and send it to the one you love.

My body is the scar of my mind

I'll see you.

y.o.
summer 2003
