note the early start-time!

131.
a new act
begins
in the rushed click
after math

132.
Fatal lies, tight and bright
this becoming of things
that refuse us

and of my mind
the metal
veers forward

133.
o from what powre
this art to kill

this is a
a war to kill
hating, hate
rinsed of life

134.
art transcends
of mind taught
metal minds

135.
Still Shatner
smiles
into the future

136.
What powre is
science art giving?

No beast.
No centre.
No blood.

[from The Others Raisd in Me, 150 re-writes of Shakespeare's sonnet #150]

ALL OUT AGAINST THE 2010 WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES
The 2010 Winter Olympics will take place in Vancouver & Whistler, on unceded Indigenous land, from February 12-28 2010. We call on all anti-capitalist, Indigenous, housing rights, labour, migrant justice, environmental, anti-war, community-loving, anti-poverty, civil libertarian, and anti colonial activists to come together to confront this two-week circus and the oppression it represents. We are organizing towards a global anti-capitalist and anti-colonial convergence against the 2010 Olympic Games.
