A line from Charles Mingus

Anybody can plan
weird. In her later
years she turned in-
wards, away from

what used to be the
conventional method
of producing baby
food, the folding/

unfolding of wax
from the beehives of
early punk rock. Now
she would fumble

through her chests of
drawers, picking out
things that caught her
fancy: campaigns for

voting system reform,
the daily news talks of
dictators, ritualized
violence against Chateaux

which she would then
combine. Some overlap &
noise, but a different
starter culture, a new time.
