We Begin With a Poem
|
|||
|
|
by Ginger Pence
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Out in sea that drowns me
|
|||
|
|
Blue as the core from the sky
|
|||
|
|
I thank myself for knowing how to swim
|
|||
|
|
For my unconquered life
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the ocean's tide of destruction
|
|||
|
|
I have cried aloud for help.
|
|||
|
|
under the busy sea floor I try to swim
|
|||
|
|
My arms are tired but not unusable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Beyond the sun are the cries of my voice
|
|||
|
|
loomed but not afraid of the tides,
|
|||
|
|
And yet I wonder if I'll live
|
|||
|
|
Forget yourself, and forget your soul.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It matters not how I swim away
|
|||
|
|
Hurry to the green filled land
|
|||
|
|
I am lost of all hope,
|
|||
|
|
I am no longer alive.
|
|||

Hello and welcome to ATI issue 155. I'm prime anarchist
|
|||
|
|
and I can't find my column. If I do, I'll stick it in here.
|
|||
|
|
Otherwise, read on with smiles...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ans: (c) by the way...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Yes, I was protesting war last weekend. You probably figured
|
|||
|
|
that out. Of all the people I saw there, I was happiest
|
|||
|
|
to see Anne Archy, I think. My first time seeing her in two
|
|||
|
|
years. A hug was almost good enough to make up for all the
|
|||
|
|
distance and time. I sure hope our circles cross many
|
|||
|
|
more times in our lives. She's got a really nice speaking voice
|
|||
|
|
and one of the most tonal singing voices I've ever heard out of
|
|||
|
|
a woman. Ever. Any human actually. Birds yes, Moose yeah, sure.
|
|||
|
|
But people? Go Anne; go Anne.
|
|||
|
|
It was wonderful to see Cal Roberts there too. He took
|
|||
|
|
Amtrak down from konetiuk I'll bet. What a great spirit. If you
|
|||
|
|
live where I come from you probably know him because he's that
|
|||
|
|
Stoningtonian whose temporary illness caused almost every single
|
|||
|
|
clergy of each denomination from three or four townships
|
|||
|
|
to drop whatever petty issues kept them centuries apart, and stand
|
|||
|
|
out there keeping his decades-running vigil for him in stodgy old
|
|||
|
|
New London County. They probably jumped in nice warm autos to and
|
|||
|
|
fro - rather than ride SEATs sucky bus system, but that gets us
|
|||
|
|
half way there, eh?
|
|||
|
|
Even my mother, who's Republican treasurer of my hometown (yes I
|
|||
|
|
forgive her it every day. How do I show her, she's where I get MY
|
|||
|
|
unchanging values???) mailed me news-clippings about "that protest
|
|||
|
|
guy." Cal, God Bless You. You've got the Baptists and the Catholics,
|
|||
|
|
the Unitarians and the Congregationals realizing even if they can't
|
|||
|
|
agree on lunch, they sure can get that Praxis cooking.
|
|||
|
|
So call that a prime anarchist column, and move on. "shoot move
|
|||
|
|
communicate, if you will..." I probably ought to name the other
|
|||
|
|
bunches of people I "hung with" who some-ways are bigger honors to
|
|||
|
|
know than Martin Sheen or Amy from the Indigo Girls; but suffice it
|
|||
|
|
to say these two well represent the others. Best durned "be in" I've
|
|||
|
|
been to since the last one! So where and when did it all begin?
|
|||
|
|
Thanks mom, thanks dad, thanks congregational church. Thanks Father
|
|||
|
|
Larry, and I'm not even catholic.
|
|||
|
|

A number of my critics, frothing at the mouth, remind me:
|
|||
|
|
"This is a free country. We have a free press....so how can
|
|||
|
|
you write the things you do?"
|
|||
|
|
Well, they are right this is a free country (relatively
|
|||
|
|
speaking). And with that freedom comes a corresponding
|
|||
|
|
responsibility. I have a responsibility as a "journalist"
|
|||
|
|
to speak the truth (as best I can tell it) about these
|
|||
|
|
matters.
|
|||
|
|
Thank you and keep up the good fight.

(SEMINOLE, Georgia) - "You're a liar," --Archbishop Romero
|
|||
|
|
recognizing someone in a Salvadoran Army General.
|
|||
|
|
This happened last Sunday. It is the truth as I saw it.
|
|||
|
|
Half our procession was on busses to the park for what we
|
|||
|
|
believed was to be our arrest. The other half, we had marched
|
|||
|
|
past "the line" where we were detained 2 hours awaiting the
|
|||
|
|
maxed-out busses. We were about 500 yards ahead of the people
|
|||
|
|
in wheelchairs who also wished to cross the line and risk
|
|||
|
|
arrest. We watched a left-tenant colonel verbally assault the
|
|||
|
|
humans in wheelchairs telling them they could not cross a new
|
|||
|
|
line he'd invented and that if they joined us over THAT line
|
|||
|
|
there'd be a worse penalty for them. They were afraid to move.
|
|||
|
|
We decided thru consensus that his saying they couldn't
|
|||
|
|
join us, did not cover us joining them. We stretched our line
|
|||
|
|
wide until the last four people, including me, stood right
|
|||
|
|
next to the people with wheelchairs. Somewhere between 15 and
|
|||
|
|
thirty of them.
|
|||
|
|
Two were crying, and they all agreed verbally they were
|
|||
|
|
quite relieved that we re-included them; for they felt isolated,
|
|||
|
|
in danger, and scared.
|
|||
|
|
The left-tenant returned. He began telling them that the
|
|||
|
|
busses had already taken the first wave of "criminals" to a
|
|||
|
|
park two miles away, that this second wave (us) would
|
|||
|
|
not be processed and we'd be taken by bus right off the base
|
|||
|
|
where the gate is, so we can wait for our "buddies."
|
|||
|
|
He told the people in wheelchairs they could save him the
|
|||
|
|
time, money and gas if they would just wheel themselves back
|
|||
|
|
off the base to where the other 5 to 7 thousand were singing,
|
|||
|
|
drumming and cheering us all on.
|
|||
|
|
I sensed a very dangerous lie had been paid out and the
|
|||
|
|
people were about to get hurt. It's a burden giving a shit,
|
|||
|
|
but I pressed forward with a skill that if I can say without
|
|||
|
|
bragging, I acquired in greater volume than this "colonel."
|
|||
|
|
"Sir!" I shouted from next to the people in wheelchairs.
|
|||
|
|
"Were the people on the first busses processed or NOT??"
|
|||
|
|
"Son!" he shouted as if I was some dumb GI under his
|
|||
|
|
command.
|
|||
|
|
"Are you in a wheelchair?" he barked turning toward me with
|
|||
|
|
the look of venom in his eyes.
|
|||
|
|
"No sir!" I parried his thrust as fast as I could. I suddenly
|
|||
|
|
realized I'd broken him and he was about to single me out for
|
|||
|
|
abuse. From my basic training skills and times where I'd lived
|
|||
|
|
through going beyond broken, I realized that if I said anything
|
|||
|
|
to his screams besides a barrage of "yes sir's" and "no sir's"
|
|||
|
|
he was going to spend 15 entire minutes hollaring at me while
|
|||
|
|
he built up his "plan b," in his pea-sized mollasses-in-january
|
|||
|
|
brain. My life was possibly in danger and hinged on my attention
|
|||
|
|
to that detail. My silence may have been just as dangerous,
|
|||
|
|
if not more.
|
|||
|
|
So I replied "yes sir; no sir," very rapidly to his launch of
|
|||
|
|
5 or 6 verbal assaults including something about my ass, and
|
|||
|
|
suggesting I get it away from the wheelchairs.
|
|||
|
|
"You do what you have to," he screamed angrily at the people
|
|||
|
|
in the wheelchairs, wheeled around and left walking tall with
|
|||
|
|
the self-assuredness of a pompous fool who deserves absolutely
|
|||
|
|
no one's respect outside of his small part of the United States
|
|||
|
|
Army.
|
|||
|
|
[nice of him to quote Martin Sheen at the end there.
|
|||
|
|
Emulation is the best form...]
|
|||
|
|
We all continued on rather than get tricked by the left
|
|||
|
|
tenant's attempt at damage reduction. We were bussed
|
|||
|
|
to the park where we too were processed and the people in
|
|||
|
|
wheelchairs were escorted off-base by other military people
|
|||
|
|
who treated them nicely I'm told.
|
|||
|
|
This good cop/bad cop junk is rapidly getting old.

"The revulsion against war not too long hence will be an almost
|

|

insupportable obstacle for us to overcome. For that reason I

|

am convinced that we must begin now to set the machinery in
|

motion for a permanent war economy."

a short poem by Steve Holst
|
|||
|
|
We must compose poetry quickly!
|
|||
|
|
Because it decomposes so fast.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As usual, we end with poetry.
|
|||
|
|
This one doesn't have a title yet...

|
I'm not seeing there's an Arrow for me.
|
|||
|
|
Everybody started honking honkingly at me.
|
|||
|
|
Now it's all green, green. And I'm going too slowly
|
|||
|
|
For everyone else I guess.
|
|||
|
|
Sorry-
|
|||
|
|
Go 'round. Have your correction
|
|||
|
|
Somewhere else.
