Executive Orders vol. 2

[Out-of-Print]

“In Executive Orders, we find ourselves on a wild ride through a landscape deformed by the destructive prerogatives of an obscene government, but lush with wildlife from some not-fully-seen political beyond — some of it beautiful, some of it hilarious. It offers a composite picture of one community’s struggle to keep sane in the growing shadow of mere anarchy.”

—Ian Dreiblatt, Moby Lives blog at Melville House Books

We declare that every day is right for power clashing your wardrobe

Make my puppy director of the Environmental Protection Agency

It is legally required to flip any penny found facing tails to heads

We demand total harmonic freedom

Alice Coltrane’s Journey in Satchidananda is henceforth the US national anthem

Cryogenic preservation will be regulated into oblivion and rich people will be forced to accept death

Corporate banks are hereby abolished

Everything is cooperatively owned

Our sex-positive culture feels really good

Direct action through / Sneaking and knowing

Poetry, the film genre, will topple charts
