Theme #6 will be...

TUNAFISH SANDWICH PIECE (from Yoko Ono's Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings)

Imagine one thousand suns in the
sky at the same time.
Let them shine for one hour.
Then, let them gradually melt
into the sky.
Make one tunafish sandwich and eat.

1964 spring

I don't know if I'm allowed to transcribe a piece of writing that I have access to on a public forum, but what's the worst that could happen? I GUESS I COULD DIE.

I first heard about Grapefruit from an Eggplant podcast episode where they discussed Fluxus. I recommend it. (The podcast, as well as the movement/community (Fluxus), as well as the book.)

Oh, yes, also, I'm back! I'll be posting the back five themes over the next five days (including today) because I had a resurgence of inspiration. By that I mean I came upon a good constraint for narrowing down the scope of the frightening task of posting a poem every day: each poem will be some mirror image of its associated poem from the front five! If you're having trouble you could try the same with your ten games. If you're running out of juice after five games, maybe remake or modify them to make the remaining five!
