rebel
to recap:
the cart is an experiment
the experiment is about collaboration
now let me throw one more thing
into the mix:
it's right to rebel.
The winter is a time of amassing strength
taking account
I've got a cart.
And I am looking for a collaborator,
a colleague in the laboratory.
I posted an ad on my alma
mater's job postings ---
Chef opportunity at gourmet pushcart, Lower East Side location. Work with
FCI graduate to develop your own food business. Set your own menu,
keep your own profits -- income in excess of $400/wk possible. Food
industry experience useful, cooperative attitude essential. Contact
owner/operator by phone or email for details.
...a startling number of fishes
took the bait right
away, and some of 'em seem to like it
we are going ahead together
so far so good.....
but are they rebels?
do they have to be?
what are the terms of this new understanding?
there's
no knowing
until the real work starts.

"And he who becomes master of a city used to being free and does not destroy her can expect to be destroyed by her, because always she has as pretext in rebellion the name of liberty and her old customs, which never through either length of time or benefits are forgotten, and in spite of anything that can be done or foreseen, unless citizens are disunited or dispersed, they do not forget that name and those institutions."
as isolation is our societies dominate means of pre-emptively fighting rebellion, and of co-opting rebels, i think without question rebels need to do what they can when they can to get together with eachother and then eventually with others.
A small business venture such as your food cart has the triple benefit of providing a liveable if not manageable source of income, a degree of autonomy and time and space to conduct radical experiments while interacting with other people in the realms of work and play everyday life.
good to see you're back. the weather here is just perking up and it is a beautiful thing how weather effects us, how connected we are with nature no matter everything modern science does to make us forget that.
