BUILDING A BETTER ARK(for Hakim Bey)

Once upon a time we thought
if we all lived together,peace would reign on earth
Garden of Eden(with knowledge)we expelled ourselves
naked and older,turned from space commune to rave culture
Temporary Autonomous Zones became provisional Paradises-
wherein and whereby we might be more than one
and still be one .Police raids,bad drugs
crime over culture.Our need to gather still real as family
Public this function like art of demonstration
Theater our lives,roleplay of consciousness
re-scripting possibilities so that we
might mean more than iphone ,ipad,ipod..
Independent coffee shops/poetry and music
improvise/collaborate/rescripting via example
All becomes possible with one of every creature
unique as stars shining with celestial Light
so each night becomes a uni-verse as di-verse as our separate selves
and as together as the least stable atomic human particle.
Tonight our Ark sails again-into the wind.It may be cold outside
we will warm ourselves with stories we compose
to keep both death and distance outside our doors
Bring the fires of your furnace art to share
Let us seek and find those celestial stairs..
