    POETS & WRITERS STAND AGAINST TRUMPPOETS & WRITERS STAND AGAINST TRUMP  : JANUARY 20th, 2017 AT 8PM

    On Friday, January 20th Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as The President of the United States of America.

    This will be a very sad day indeed. And as poets and writers everywhere we need to speak up and say what needs to be said, and share those words with our nation and the world.

    So here’s what we do.

    At EXACTLY 8pm on the evening of Friday, January 20th I’m asking all my friends and fellow writers and poets to simultaneously all post a poem or prose piece against the election and presidency of Trump. Post it on Facebook, Twitter, Tumble, WordPress …

    classical-ballet-quote

    — Silas Farley, quoted in the Jan. 16, 2017, New Yorker Talk of the Town piece by Rebecca Mead, illustration by Tom Bachtell [link]

    A secret message from my treadmill?

    Here are some shots of the TV screen on the treadmill at my gym.

    What does it mean? Is it random? Is it a self-critique about the difficulty of what meaning can be derived from images and sound out of a treadmill screen, when the gym is a noisy place and my concentration should be on things like form, breathing, and effort? Were the screens responding to my workout? Is this a new form of participatory video art? Participatory found art?
