  'GREENWAGON'

I HAD BEEN RIDING
THE GREENWAGON FOR 54 DAYS
IT WAS A WONDERFUL RIDE
INSIDE THE WAGON
THERE WAS A LARGE RED SIGN
THAT READ "HOLD ON TIGHT"
(SUDDEN STOPS AND CURVES
CAN KNOCK YOU OFF YOUR FEET)
I WAS FEELING GOOD
AND A BIT COCKY
SO I WAS SURFING THE RIDE
NOT HOLDING ONTO ANYTHING
SURE ENOUGH,THERE CAME
A GREAT BIG CURVE
 THE CONDUCTOR APPARENTLY
HAD FRAYED NERVES
OR PRE ALZHEIMER'S
THE RESULT WAS
I WAS THROWN OFF
THE GREENWAGON


I TUMBLED DOWN
A SLIPPERY SLOPE
ROLLING DOWN
ON THE WET SOFT GROUND
LIKE A TEXAS TUMBLE WEED
CROSSING THE PECOS RIVER
 I MUST HAVE ROLLED
AT LEAST FOUR OR FIVE TIMES
MAYBE MORE......
MY FALL WAS EVENTUALLY CUSHIONED
BY A MARVELOUS
 BRIGHT ELECTRIC GREEN BUSH
WITH WONDERFULCLUSTERS OF
BEAUTIFUL SERRATED BRANCHES
FIVE OR SEVEN OR NINE
 FINGERS TO EACH LEAF


I LANDED FACE DOWN
WITH MOUTH OPEN
TRYING TO CATCH MY BREATH
AND THERE ON THE GROUND
RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLANT
THAT HAD SAVED ME
FROM INJURY OR DEATH
THERE WAS A FUNNY 
ZEPPELIN LOOK ALIKE
ABOUT THREE TO
FOUR INCHES LONG
IT WAS WHITE
 IT GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION
THAT IT HAD BEEN ROLLED UP
ON PURPOSE
BY SOMEONE
OR MAYBE
BY SOME ELFS
OR MAYBE
THEY WERE  GENIES
IT LOOKED LIKE
 IT WAS PAPER
(RICE PAPER)
THE LITTLE ZEPPELIN
WAS SMOLDERING AT ONE END


I DID NOT QUESTIONED
WHY? OR EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT MUCH
EVERYTHING HAPPENED
SO SWIFTLY
SO FLEEATING
BUT,WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT
AS I CAME TO A STOP
THE LITTLE ZEPPELIN ENDED UP
PARTIALLY INSIDE MY MOUTH,
FORTUNATELY THE BURNING END
WAS AWAY FROM MY MOUTH
I WAS TOTALLY OUT OF BREATH
SO UNWITTINGLY I TOOK A LONG
 BIG DEEP BREATH
THE LITTLE ZEPPELIN'S SMOKE
CAME INTO MY LUNGS
THEY WERE QUICKLY
FULL OF SMOKE
IN LESS THAN A MINUTE


TIME CHANGED COMPRESSED
THAN EXPANDED
I KNEW THEN BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT
THAT TIME IS ELASTIC
AND RELATED TO OUR THOUGHTS
 AND BELIEFS ABOUT REALITY
IN LESS THAN A SECOND
I LIVED HOURS AND TORRENTS
OF EMOTIONS SURFACED
FROM WHERE TO WHERE
DO NOT KNOW BUT THEY TOOK ME
ON A TRIP OR TRIPS
ABOUT THIS THAT AND THE OTHERS
IT WAS REAL REAL REAL
THEN THE WATCHE'S SECOND HAND MOVED
WHEN JUST AN ETERNITY AGO
IT WAS FROZEN NOT MOVING DISFUNCTIONAL
UNTIL IT THICKED ON AND ON AND ON....


BUT IT HAD BEEN  I
THAT DID IT

THAT HAD CREATED THE OTHER IDEA ABOUT TIME
IT WAS I THAT THOUGHT THOSE THOUGHTS
AND THEN PROCEEDED TO FEED THEM
SO THEY GREW AND GREW AND GREW
FASTER THAN ROYAL PAWLONIA TREES


EINSTEIN WAS RIGHT ON
I WONDER WHAT HE SMOKED?
I SUFFERED A TRANSFORMATION
THE ENVIRONMENT  ALSO TRANSFORMED
IT BRIGHTEN UP
EVERYTHING LOOKED NEW SHINNY
NEW LUMINOSITY
SHINY SHINY SHINNY
NEW LIGHTHING
NEW BRILLIANCY
NEW IDEAS
NEW FEELINGS
NEW EMOTIONS
NEW VISIONS
NEW IMMEDIATE CONCERNS
NEW WORLD
IN FACT
THE PAIN OF MY FALL
WAS GONE
AS IT HAD NEVER EXISTED
I FELT GREAT IT WAS AMAZING
I KNOW YOU MUST THINK
 I AM EXAGGERATING
OR GIVING YOU
A TRUCK FULL OF BULL
BUT
BELIEVE ME IT IS TRUTH


THE GREENWAGON NEVER DID
ONCE STOP FOR ME
IT WAS AS IF
I DID NOT EXIST AT ALL
IT JUST KEPT ROLLING ALONG
FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS

THAT HAVE TURNED INTO WEEKS
I HAVE BEEN RUNNING
BEHIND THE GREENWAGON
WITH NO LUCK SO FAR

CAME REAL CLOSE A FEW
BUT NOT BEEN
ABLE TO CATCH UP WITH IT

AND RIDE IT AGAIN
I HOPE I CAN REACH IT
 DOWN THE ROAD
AT THE NEXT
SCHEDULED STOP

WHERE EVER

WHEN EVER

HOWEVER

IT MIGHT COME TO BE
ONLY TIME AND TIMES  WILL TELL
WISH ME LUCK
SALUDOS

Y

SALUD

HELLO
THURSDAY I HAD AN ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT
BY A MASTER FROM OREGON
I WAS THE SUBJECT AT A ACUPUNCTURE SCHOOL IN MANHATTAN
IN A GRAND ROUND SETTING
MAYBE 50 STUDENTS WERE PRESENT
I WAS TREATED WITH REGULAR ACUPUNCTURE
AND MOXIBUSTION ACUPUNCTURE
I AM A VICTIM OF THE 911 WORLD TRADE CENTER
ATTACK AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO
CLEANSE MY SELF FROM THE TOXINS
THAT WERE WERE RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
SAME TOXIN THAT HAD LEFT ME PARALYSED
 ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FACE AND NECK
( MUCH IMPROVED SINCE THEN ,BUT STILL NOT TOTAL RECOVERY)
AFTER THE TREATMENT
I WAS FEELING GREAT
YESTERDAY I HAD A FELAFEL
AROUND 2 PM AND THEN ABOUT 7 A SMOOTHIE
THEN AROUND 9 PM I BEGUN TO FEEL AS IF I WAS
BEING BLOTTED WITH A SHARP PAIN
 ON THE TOP OF THE STOMACH
IT FELT AS IF THE WHOLE AREA AROUND
THE BELLY BUTTON AND THE MOUTH OF THE STOMACH
WAS BECOMING CONCRETE VERE UNPLEASANT
FEELING THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW SNAKES
CLEAN THEMSELVES BY REGURGITATING
WHATEVER THEY HAD EATEN SO I WENT TO THE BATHROOM
AND BEGUN TO INDUCE VOMIT IT WAS HARD
BUT EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE SMOOTHIE LEFT ME
AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS BUT THE PAIN WAS STILL THERE
AND I SEEMED TO HAVE NOTHING LEFT
SINCE ALMOST NOTHING OF THE FELAFEL'S WAS LEFT
SO I WENT BACK AND AGAIN INDUCE
THIS TIME IT WAS MUCH HARDER
BUT EVENTUALLY A VISCOUS  JELLY LIKE
SLIMY GREEN STUFF CAME OUT IN ONE GULP
FOLLOWED BY A SECOND ONE BOTH QUICKLY SLID DOWN THE DRAIN
AS IF THEY WERE MADE OUT OF TEFLON
IN ONE PIECE IT WAS SEMI SOLID NOT LIQUID AT ALL
I WAS SHIVERING COLD AND SWEATING PROFUSELY
AND THE PAIN ON THE ABDOMEN PERSISTED
THROUGHOUT THE SLEEPLESS NIGHT
IN THE MORNING I PASSED OUT AROUND 6 AM UNTIL 9 AM
THEN I TOOK AN EPSOM SALTS HOT BATH
WENT BACK TO SLEEP FOR ANOTHER HALF HOUR
AND WENT TO THE GYM 'S HOT JACUZZI POOL AND THE STEAM ROOM
AT THE MOMENT I STILL HAVE LINGERING ABDOMINAL PAIN
MUCH DIMINISHED AND I LOS 2 + POUNDS IN ONE NIGHT
I KNOW IS PART OF THE DETOX CAUSE BY THE TREATMENT
BUT IT WAS BRUTAL
SAL

EDITORIAL

 

 

AMERICA

 

 

includes

US

 

 

            This editorial was originally planned to deal in a general manner with the historical, cultural, geographical, social, etc., etc., etc., but mainly the human reasons as to why, where, and how, within our midsts, we hold the key to global unification and world peace. It’s only an attempt to express the feelings and thoughts that a growing portion of this generation has come to adopt as a viable reality. Others before have done better work, Cortez, Pizarro, Washington, Jefferson, Bolivar, Marti, but living does not mean to leave to the ghosts the lives we must live, somehow, we must find a way of putting into practice everything they have done and said. It’s nice to know what others have done in the past and to be able to quote from the mouths of long-gone, long-forgotten, and many times not-known, esoteric men. It could become a sport, a past-time. But how long must we wait? and how much must we read? before our short lives are lived to the brim. We say now! Now is the time. We feel both practice and study to be complimentary parts of an organic whole, that includes doing, acting, no matter how imperfect those actions at first might seem.

            We started the year thinking that we were going to only publish a newspaper. Only to find out later that the paper was to become one of our minor activities. Diplomacy, intrigues, organizations, bureaucracies, stiff-minds, a whole system collapsing, a small-body with ten thousand heads, were some of the things we found in our way, our labyrinth monsters, you might say. The learning was not where we originally thought or expected it to be, at the end of the rainbow or the mark of a goal, we found it to be along the sides of the road. Well, maybe this is just talk, some more repetition of things you already know, but still we’ll plunge on.

            Geographically, America stretches from pole to pole, her shores face towards all the oceans of the earth. At present it’s composed of some thirty or so subdivisions that are called federations, republics, trustships, commonwealths, colonies, bases, and zones, all of this is otherwise known as development, progress, in one word, “civilization.” The truth is that America is an unbroken, homogenous land-mass. A canal, that at the turn of the century, around her waist line was built for many more purposes besides the reduction of shipping times and costs, and that at present only helps to emphasize our division, eventually we hope that when a commission or a similar body representing the American people finally does get control and will manage it as a resource that like everything else, belongs to us all, like the earth is for all, will help further strengthen the bonds that naturally unify us. The same bonds that at present, we, in our stubborn insistence of calling ourselves independent, when in reality we’re only slaves and that through the continuous practice of the petty-regional and blind-national ways, continously insist in negating. GREED is the enemy that comes to supply us with mirages of reasons as to why, where, and how we should continue to be divided.

            “To have friends coming in from far quarters, not a delight,” through Ezra Pound, Confucious has said. We must find a way to break through the barriers that stand in our way to a better and equally balanced society. We must feel that our actions do influence the world. The balance between happiness and sorrow, war and peace, is buried within each of us. At present we seem to be in search of more and more reasons to explain the divisions, religions don’t seem to agree, economical systems are slicing the world, each one proclaiming ‘my way is the best.’ We must find a way of uniting and also preserving our cultural diversities. We must all rise up, sprouting from darkness like mushrooms in search of the SUN.

            The geographical-cultural-mind of most of mankind seems to be aligned either on an east-west or a west east axis, that stretches along the northern hemisphere more or less following the path of the SUN. Most of the worlds land mass lies also along this path. Looking at the history of mankind we can see that the development of civilization has also occured along this belt. From China and Mongolia it moved westward until it reached middle Europe and eastward reaching Japan and Alaska and the rest of the future American continent-island where it lay dormant, alone for thousands of years.

            From Europe and Africa it moved eastward stretching as far as Indonesia and India, but these areas were already heavily populated in addition to being situated at important crossroads where every passing ship and caravan continued to enrich their own cultures. These people’s ways were not easy to change. It was to the west and south that Europe was to find it’s incredible room for expansion.

            After eight hundred years of fighting, on January 2, 1492, with the fall of Granada and the expulsion of the Moors, modern Spain and Europe was born. Isabel y Fernando appointed Christobal Colon (Columbus) admiral, governor-general, and viceroy of all lands he might discover in the western ocean. The appointment included entitlement to one tenth of the profits and a further eighth if he contributed that portion to the costs of the voyage, he also had jurisdiction over all comericial transactions. Colon arrived at the present Bahamas on October 12, 1492. He also visited what we now know as Haiti and Cuba, landing men to establish the first colonies. Thus our present America was born.

            We have in America mainly a branch of European culture. The local populations here were conquered - and to be conquered means to have your lands taken and yourself remain (estranged you from yourself). To this position only some of the surviving Indians can apply. The rest of us, in some way or another, had to leave our ancestral lands to come to the new world.

??? belt was because we could no longer continue to live in the land where our ancestors or ourselves (in the case of new immigrants) were born, or it was because we were brought over by force for probably the same reasons.

            Our present governments (a reflection of ourselves) at present like to emphasise the many types of frountiers that help to divide our island-continent and ourselves. With the aid of primative economic theories and the partial-apparent, one-sided result their application has produced, helping to reinforce in the minds of the worlds present malaise, the silly idea that not much change is needed - on the contrary, a return to the old ways is sought - we must protect civilization is the cry! We seem never to bother to stop and take a look around us, look at the cities, the fields, your neighbors, our food, your parents, officials, your brothers and sisters, ourselves. Instead we set out to play musical chairs, apartheid in reverse, the cities are colored, the suburbs are white.

            Every village of the world has sent someone to America. In America all cultures of earth can be found, some more than others, usually in relation to their population numbers and their social influence. The problem is that since October 14, 1492 when America was born, we the people that inhabit her have not yet been able to free ourselves from the wombs that gave us birth, our umbilical cords have not yet been cut!

            From every country of the globe we have come here, some of the countries which sent us no longer exist but we stubbornly continue to repeat to others and to ourselves that we are this or the other because of this and that ritual or reason we might be able to derive from some of the oldest comic books around, the result is we’re from everywhere but here. We have crossed the oceans and lands to come here, only to create schizophrenia, Our bodies and lives might be seen around here, but our cultural ties and conceptions are acephalously wandering somewhere else, in Europe, the Mid-East, in Africa, or the Far-East.

 

            Like over-grown, over-fed monsterous infants, in some parts of our continent-island, on feeble legs, we have developed big biceps. They stretch out of balance towards every corner of Earth, in search of more and more stuff to push down the black-hole that for mouth we seem to possess. In cultural hunger we scream, craving definitions for beauty, aestetics, behaviour and the like, from everywhere else on the globe but from here our own land. We seem to believe ourselves incapable to produce something new, a whole new perspective, so the hoarding continues at an ever increasing rate - there’s vases from Greece, whole Cloisters from France, the walls of Egyptians with mummies and all, statues from Chad, everything from Japan, and from London, our England, what else but, a bridge!

            We are afraid to leave the bosoms that fed us once from across the seas, the CULTURAL SHOCK will come when Anglos meet Latins, or Blacks the Chinese. All of the above born and bred here. We must stand for ourselves. We have yet to be weaned. AMERICA IS A POPULATED DESERT. Plato, Homer, Herodotus, Sophocles, Christ, Marx, Trotsky, Aristotle, Moses, Mohammed, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Tacitus, Gautama, Cicero, Seneca, Vergil, Voltaire, Gothe, Demosthenes, St. Agustine, St. Thomas, Nietzche, and so many more, their cultures, their writings, their thoughts, they must now serve us for something or they should just go. Enough of the past. We must look at ourselves now and right here. We are in America, the one continent that contains the whole world. The only one from which a new civilization can spring forth. The rest of the world have now compleated their cycles and must now leave us the road. For centuries they have used their methods and structures to exploit us. Physical slavery first, political slavery next, economical slavery then, and now cultural? It’s really too much! When are we going to be born? When are we going to see that this is an island which holds in its midst the PEACE of the WORLD!

            It will take a long time to accomplish something like that!....some will say....we’re not ready yet!....someothers might add...you’re just plain crazy! we’ve never done that!....many more might remark, but it will take longer....much longer, we say, the longer it takes for us to begin.

            We are not latin-Americans, Anglo-Americans, Afro-Americans, Indo-Americans, etc., etc., etc., or anything else, those terms only serve to further divide! We are all Americans, unless you have just arrived on this continent and still you are not quite sure that you are here!

            The rest of the world is made up of small village oriented communities, that over the centuries have fed the seeds of jealousy, discord, regionalism, recism, etc., etc., etc.,...and the like, it was to survive and only for that, some might say, but the last of the Bushman will soon disappear. A change in all those societies requires an earthquake, or at least it can be very difficult, since they must change ingrained traditions that have their roots in the land and in some cases might stretch back to the source of mankind, slow, steady, accumulations of living traditions, around the same areas for thousands of years. But WE, we should not have those same problems, we are new! never before in the history of this world’s civilization, has everybody on Earth been represented, in one place, at one time, except now!

            Instead of looking at the differences amoung us, we should search for and find the similarities, we should pool our resourses, all of them, cultural, economic, religious, political, social, etc., etc., etc., how can we fail to create something new?.....Impossible!.....it’s there for us to will it and it will become, we are the result of our wishes and actions, no more.

AMERICA IS ONE.

dream 03/10/2009
i am dreaming that i am in bed
and need to go to the bathroom to pee
i get up and go
 but i am in a place like rural Mexico
or kind of Latin America
 the streets are cobbled
and the sidewalks narrow
i get to the bathrooms
and they are dilapidated
 one side men the other women
i go to the toilet and stand on my toes
 like a ballet dancer and beginning to pee
 someone opens the door
it's a woman i turn around and begin spraying pee
 towards her and hit her on the right leg
 she says something
and as i go out of the toilet
i see Jessica with a tall German man
very old with glasses and a mustache and out of shape
he is wrapped around a bed sheet
they are walking holding each other
 i speed up ahead of them
to return to wherever we all supposed to have come from
 it is daylight there are people walking about
 i go through a grocery store very narrow
and as i come back into the sidewalk
 i see a bottled cap  i pick it up and swing it in the air
 it makes a curve and lands on the other side of the street
almost hitting a shot fat man walking
on the opposite direction he stops and pick it up
 then continues waking away 
 right behind him there a steel bars protruding onto the side walk
almost to the middle of the street  like in Egypt
 inside the kind of cage is a fat cop dressed in rumpled khaki clothes
he is looking towards the inside of the building from where the bars protrude
 i continue walking around the cage
 and find myself in a butcher shop open to the street
and there are to horses dead carcasses
 the horses are white
one is laying on a hammock and the other on the floor
a young man the butcher
is behind them working
 somehow i am stuck at the spot
as if there was a traffic light holding up my progress
but there are none
i make an effort and begin to move again
i then find myself at a football soccer game
a sport which i hate
like all mass sports
Rogelio is there also
it seems i am in Mexico city
or something like that Rogelio is rapping with some
of the players and i seem to have luggage with me
i urge Rogelio to lets go and picked up the luggage
and left the vibes there are not nice
 then i woke up and went to pee
 someone else was also at the bathroom
in the apartment above
 where 3 women live alone

DREAM OF 03/09/2009

I AM WALKING TROUGH GARDENS AND STAIRS
ACCOMPANIED BY AN ORIENTAL GIRL
WE WALK INTO A PLACE A LARGE ROOM
WITH A HUGE SQUARE TABLE
 WE SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE,
TO MY LEFT IS A BLACK GUY
THAT CALLS THE ORIENTAL GIRL
 TO HIS SIDE, THEY ARE TALKING,
A SKINNY WHITE GUY WITH A BAD ATTITUDE
COMES OVER AND DEMANDS
 I GIVE HIM THE SILVER PIN
I HAVE ON THE CHEST ON MY JACKET
THE PIN IS LIKE A STAR BURST
 VERY SHINNY AND BRITTE ,
 I REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM
HE GETS ANGRY AND LEAVES
AND SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE AGAIN
 AND FALL ASLEEP INSIDE THE DREAM,
SOMETIME LATER I WAKE UP
AND THE FEELING HAS CHANGED
THE ORIENTAL GIRL WANTS TO LEAVE,
SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED
WHILE I WAS ASLEEP
WE GET READY TO LEAVE
AND I CANNOT FIND MY SHOES,
I LEAVE WITHOUT THE SHOES,
SHE AND I ARE WALKING
DOWN A SIDEWALK
WHEN SHE JUST VANISHES
I AM ANGRY AND BOTHERED
BUT I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT WHAT,
I RETURN TO THE PLACE
THE TABLE IS FULL OF PEOPLE
AND THERE IS TWO DUDES
AT THE ENTRANCE HANGING OUT
I TAKE A SWIPE
AT ONE OF THE GUYS AT THE TABLE
 AND ANOTHER DUDE TRIES TO HIT ME
BUT MISSES THEN I NOTICE THE SHOES
ON THE FLOOR ONE IS INSIDE
A CLEAR PLASTIC BAG
AND THE OTHER OUTSIDE THE BAG
I PICKED THEM UP AND I NOTICE
THAT ONE SHOE IS FULL OF SMEARED BLOOD
I SEE A GARBAGE CAN
AND TROW THE SHOES INSIDE IT AND LEAVE
THEN I WOKE UP
ANGRY

TO THE NEW YORK CITY LOFT BOARD.

ATT; BEVERLY MILLER
Director Of Legalization
100 Gold St
NYC 10038

Hello Beverly;
GOOD MORNING!
HOW ARE YOU?

As per our telephone conversation
on 08/18/08
IN WHICH YOU AGREED TO GIVE US
THE 45 DAYS TO ANSWER.
THANK YOU FOR THAT!
WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE FORMAL REQUEST
BY WRITTING.
The Loft Board's addition to the typical DOB conversion procedure is the "occupant review of plans process," commonly known as the narrative statement process. The Board has concluded that this process, which involves the tenants in the details of legalization, is necessary because the process of legalization generally involves substantial construction and may necessitate basic changes to individual units. Within 15 days of filing an alteration application at DOB, the owner of an IMD must provide the tenants and the Board with a "narrative statement," describing the work to be performed and explaining why it is necessary; the Board's rules provide details as to what a narrative statement must contain. Following the filing, Loft Board staff will schedule an informal conference with the owner and tenants. The purposes of the conference are to help the tenants understand the details of the owner's legalization plan and, when necessary, to mediate disputes arising from the proposal.

If the parties reach an agreement on the details of the legalization plan, the Board will provide certification that the narrative statement process has been completed; DOB will not issue a work permit without this certification. If, however, an agreement cannot be reached on some aspect or aspects of the legalization plan, the tenants may choose to file an alternate legalization plan with DOB.
If DOB approves the tenants' plan, the Board may choose to institute a proceeding to determine which plans should become the basis for the actual work to be performed. The issue in such proceedings is whether the owner's plan would "unreasonably interfere" with the tenants' use of their units. Following resolution of an unreasonable interference proceeding, the Board may then certify that the narrative statement process has been completed.


THEY HAVE NOT COMPLY
WITH ANY OF THESE REQUIREMENTS
IN EFFECT THE ARQUITECT WAS QUITE AGRESSIVE
AND DISRESPECTFUL
PURE HARASSMENT
UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR
IT WILL NOT GO UNASWERED!
THANKS AGAIN.
As I said to you yesterday
" What's The Rush"?
that our rights must be sacrified
and our 45 day due window
to respond be reduced to 5 days
we have been waiting for 25+ years
for legalization
WHAT'S'THE RUSH NOW? ,
all about?
I WILL LIKE TO REQUEST AN
UNREASONABLE INTERFERENCE CLAIM FORM.
I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT
AT YOUR WEBSITE?
we want them to get a C of O
OF COURSE WE DO!
but the so called proposal
that was sent to us
would not help
pass a first grade
architectural student,
on top of that the English
 used is extremely BAD!
we could not understand
such as ...
"DGW A7-4th Floor plan?
that MENTIONS,
" ADDED TYPICAL FIRE ESCAPE
 DETAILS
& AND FLOOR COLUMN
DETAILS.
REPLACE OLD FIRE ESCAPE ,
WITH NEW FIRE ESCAPE"
WHERE?
ON WHICH STREET?
WHAT COLUMN DETAILS?
THE ONLY COLUMNS
 ARE INSIDE
MY APARTMENT
WHERE ARE THE COLUMNS?
YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW IT
BUT,
ONE OF THE ANCIENT PLANS
AND NARRATIVES
FROM ALONG TIME AGO,
REJECTED .
WAS TO RUN A WALL
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LOFT
AND DIVIDE THE PLACE IN 2,
WHICH THEN WOULD
RESULT ON 16 APTS!!!!
WITHOUT EVER NEEDING
 A LEGAL BUILDING CONVERSION PERMIT
CIRCUMVENTING ALL REQUIREMENTS
AND IMPEDIMENTS
AND FINDING AND FULLFILLING
THE FINAL SOLUTION
TO GET RID OF THESE
CUMBERSOME ARTISTS
AND AT THE SAME TIME
SPEED UP LEGALIZATION
UNDER
THEIR HONOROUS TERMS
I THINK THEY CITY,
STATE,
FEDERAL AGENCIES,
SHOULD RECOGNIZE US!!!
AND GIVES US A BREAK!!
WE HAVE PROVEN OURSELVES
 IN BATTLE!!
YOU COULD NOT CALLED THEM
UNDERZISED HOLES IN THE WALL
 LOFTS!
 REALLY!
I AM SURE THEY WILL CALL THEM
 "LUXURY LOFTS"
WHAT TYPICAL
FIRE ESCAPE DETAILS???
IF you try to read
through each line
of THEIR  English
IT IS MALICIOUSLY
INTENDED
 TO OFFUSCATE
TO CONFUSE
THE READER
WITH GARBLELIZE,
WE SPEAK ENGLISH!
AND THE ISSUE SHOULD
 BE ABOVE BOARD
IN ENGLISH,
ALL DOCUMENTS TO BE UTILIZED
ON THE TABLE
CUT AND DRY
CLEAR!!!SIMPLE!!
WHY ALL THESE COVERING UP?
IF THEY WERE NOT
 UP TO NO GOOD!!!
YOU CAN SEE THAT,
ON THE PHOTOS,
THE NON-EXISTANT
FIRE ESCAPE ON READE ST,
THAT IS GOING TO BE
REPLACED WITH
 A NEW LONGER ONE!!
DESTROYING IN THE WAY
READE STREET
FIRESCAPE FREE FACADES???
IF YOU TRY TO READ
 LINE 3 AND UNDERSTAND IT
THERE ARE ONLY
2 LOFTS PER FLOOR,
BUT ,THEY ARE TRYING TO
 "GRANDFATHER",
 "YEAH SURE!"
3 LOFTS PER FLOOR
AND MAYVE UP TO FIVE
IF THE DIVIDE MY LOFT ALONG THE
COLUMN LINE
(THAT MIGHT BE THE COLUMNS DETAILS,
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT?
I DO NOT KNOW?
DO YOU KNOW?
 THEY WANT TO PLACE
 AND ILLEGAL FIRE ESCAPE
ON READE ST SIDE
THAT WAY  THE THIRD APT,
 WILL HAVE A MEANS OF EGRESS
THE BUILDING IS SET UP FOR
2 APTS PER FLOOR
THERE IS AN ILLEGAL DIVISION
ON THE 2ND AND 3RD FLOORS,
UNDERZISED BOTH
REMEMBER WE ARE LEGALIZING
LOFTS,
NOT RAILROAD
 COLDWATER  FLATS,
WHAT MIGHT THE MEANING OF THAT PHRASE BE?
WHO KNOWS REALLY?
THEY WANT TO
TAKE THE ELEVATOR OUT
AND RECONFIGURE THE DOORS,
WHICH IN REALITY
DO NOT OPEN INTO ANY STORE
ONLY THE RESTAURANT IN THE CORNER
HAS ACCESS TO THE CHURCH ST .
FREIGHT ELEVATOR,
THE READE ST SIDE ELEVATOR
SO CALLED PASSENGER ELEVATOR OPENS
ONLY INTO THE 8 LEGAL LOFTS.
CONSIDERING, THEIR HISTORY
OF CHICANERY STRECHING MORE
 THAN 2 DECADES
AND NOW NEWLY REKINDLED
BY THE PASSING OF
 PATRIARC JACK LABOZ
THE NEW GENERATION IS COMING AT US
WITH NEW DECEPTIONS AND TREACHERY
WHICH IS A WASTE
OF MY TIME
AND EFFORTS
THE PREVIOUS 20+ YEARS OF HARASSMENT
HAVE FORCED US TO USE OUR RESOURCES
IN THESE DEBILITATING BATTLES
WHICH IN MY OPINION
" THE CITY
AND STATE
 AND FEDERAL
 GOVERMENT AGENCIES"
SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ALLOWED
 TO DRAG
ON AND ON
FOR DECADES,
AND NOW ,
LETS LOOSE
 A NEW GENERATION
 OF PIT BULLS
ON US
 SURVING PIONEER RESIDENT WORK/LIVE LOFT TENANTS"
WHY CAN'T THE CITY,
STATE
AND FEDERAL
 GOVERMENTS
 RECOGNIZE OUR CONTRIBUTIONS
TO THIS SOCIETY
NOT COUNTING OUR CREATIVE ENTERPRISES
JUST THINK ABOUT
 THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE
 THAT HAVE MADE A CAREER
I MEAN BEGINNING WORKING LIFE
  AND THEN RETIRING
JUST WORKING ON ISSUES RELATED
TO OUR TO HOMES
TO OUR LOFTS
LAWYERS
JUDGES
ADMINISTRATORS
ARCHITECTS
ENGINEERS
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
CIVIL SERVANTS
AND WHAT ABOUT THE BOOM IN
REAL ESTATE DOWN TOWN
AND ARTSY NEIGHBOORHOODS
TRIBECA
SOHO
NOLITA
WILLIAMSBURGH
ETC,ETC,ETC,
MADE POSIBLE BY THE ARTIST MOVING HERE
AND THE RICH FOLLOWING THEM
AFTER WE BROUGHT THE RICH DOWNTOWN
THEY WANTED IMMEDIATLY
TO RID THEMSELVES OF US
ALMOST LIKE RAPE
IT FEELS LIKE RAPE TO ME
AND I AM SMARTING....
WE NEED....
 THE DRAWINGS
THE PLANS (THEY ARE PLANNING TO USE)
(ONE OF THOSE PLANS CALLS
 FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF MY BATH ROOMS
AND KITCHEN
AND OTHER UNBERABLE DISTURBACES
IN MY 30 YEAR OLD INHABITED SPACE
I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN
VIETNAM ERA VETERAN
GRADUATE OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
 ANTHROPOLOGY/FILM
PIONNER RESIDENT ARTIST IN TRIBECA
ALSO I SUFFER FROM
 POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
BROUGHT ABOUT IN NO SMALL MEASURE
BY THESE LANDLORDS
DECADES OLD NON STOP HARASSMENTS
I AM UNDER TREATMENT AT
BELLEVUE HOSPITAL 911 CLINIC
THE VA HOSPITAL ON 23RD ST
THE WORLD TRADE CENTER VOLUNTEER RESCUE WORKERS
WHAT I AM POINTING OUT
ON THESE SEMINGLY ROUTINE EXTREAMLY
BAD PROPOSAL,
STRUCTURED TO DECIVE
THE LOFT BOARD
MAYBE YOU ARE SHORT
 IN RESOURCES
TO DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING
 THEY WRITE,
I WOULD THINK,
THAT ,
THAT ARCHITECT
MIGHT BE IN HOT WATER ,
BY LYING LIKE THAT
ON THE OPEN WITH IMPUNITY
AS IF TALKING TO RETARDS
EXCUSE ME FOR RANTTING ON
 I WANTED THESE ISSUES
TO COME FORTH
AND BE NOTED!!
I WOULD LOVE IT
IF YOU COULD SEND ME
AN UNREASONABLE CLAIM FORM
I WILL FORWARD THESE BY MAIL ALSO
WITH PHOTOS.
BEVERLY, THIS HARASSMENT
IS KILLING US!
THE ARCHITECT MELTZER,
 JUST CALLED BACK
AND BEGUN INSULTING ME
 THEN WHEN I ASKED
FOR CLARIFICATION,
HE HANGED UP THE PHONE,
VERY ARROGANT ATTITUDE
I DO NOT THINK,
THAT IS POSSIBLE,
 FOR MR.MELTZER TO LIE
ON LEGAL FORMS ABOUT ISSUES
SUCH AS THESE LEGAL FORMS
AND GET AWAY WITH IT!!
THESE ARE FORMS
WHICH MUST BE REGULATED
BY THE GOVERMENT
ON BEHALF OF THE POPULATION
AND THE ENTREPENEURS ALSO
BUT NOT ONE
 AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OTHER.
PLEASE,
THINK FOR A MOMENT...
PLACE YOURSELF
ON OUR SHOES
WHAT HAVE WE DONE
TO DESERVE
SUCH TREATMENT
DECADES LONG USELESS
COURTS
AND COURTS
 AND COURTS
AND
NO RESOLUTION,
ALWAYS A NEW WAY OF ATTACK
A NEW TACTIC,
WHY ARE WE BEING TREATED LIKE THAT
IF I CALL 311
WITH ANY ISSUE
ABOUT THE BUILDING
I AM TOLD
I HAVE TO CALL
THE LOFT BOARD
BUT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE
SUCH ISSUES
AND YET THE BLOCK REDIRECTING US
TO YOUR OFFICE
IS IN EFFECT,
WHO PLACED IT?
WHY?
IF I GO TO THE OFFICE OF THE AGEING
THEY DO NOT ACCEPT ME
THEY TELL ME GO TO THE LOFT BOARD
BUT YOU CANNOT EXTEND ME
 A SCREE APPLICATION
WHY ARE WE BEING
 SINGLE OUT?
WHY ARE WE PRISONERS
 OF CITY HALL?
AND IT'S POLITICS
WE ARE NOT SLAVES
AND WERE NOT SOLD
UNLESS I AM NOT
 WELL AWARE OF IT !
WHY ARE WE THE PAWNS
 ON THESE REAL ESTATE DEALS
 WHY DO VERY RICH PEOPLE NEED
SO MUCH ADVANTAGE
 AND HELP TO KEEP US DOWN
IT COULD HAVE TAKEN 6 MONTHS
AND  A  C OF O,
COULD HAVE BEEN OPTAINED
AND YET 25 YEARS LATER
 WE ARE STILL
 FIGHTING TRICKSTERS.
IT IS NOT FAIR!
IT IS NOT FAIR!
THINK ABOUT IT!
WE ARE ALL SENIORS
AND THIS IS PUTTING US THROUGH
THE HOOPS AS IF WE
WERE MUCH YOUNGER
HAS EVERYTHING FINALLY
BROKEN DOWN?
THERE IS TWO SETS OF
 HABITATIONAL LAWS
RUNNING PARALLEL
TO EACH OTHER
LIKE RAIROAD LINES
EXCEPT THAT ONE IS
 THE STATE LAW THAT REGULATES
EVERYTHING ABOUT BUILDINGS
WITH TENANTS
AND THE OTHER IS
THE LOFT LAW
A 25 YEAR OLD
TEMPORARY LAW???
DO YOU SEE
OUR POINT OF VIEW??
IT IS NOT FAIR!!!
WE NEED JUSTICE
FAIR JUSTICE!
I CANNOT DO MY WORK
I MUST ALWAYS BE
ON THE ALERT
BE ALL AROUND MEN
WHILE IGNORING MY PROFESSION
EVERYONE ELSE
IN THIS EQUATION
IS MAKING MONEY
AND WORKING
AT THEIR RESPECTIVE
CHOSEN PROFESSIONS
EVERYONE, EXCEPT US!!!
WE ARE FORCED TO
 BE EVERYONE OF YOU
AND NO ONE GIVES IT
A SECOND THOUGHT
PLEASE,
TRY TO SEE OUR POSITION

BE WELL

THE FRONT DOOR AT 78 READE ST
NEW YORK 10007
HAS BEEN BROKEN
FOR  MORE THAN A YEAR
EVERY TIME THEY COME
TO"FIX IT"
IT IS LEFT WORSE
I MEAN BROKEN 
THE METAL AROUND THE LOCK
ON THE LEFT SIDE AS YOU LOOKING AT IT
IS CRACKED IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR A LONG TIME
LAST TIME THEY CAME TO "FIX IT"
THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR ONLY
USING A RECYCLED OLD DOOR
THAT THEY PROBABLY PULLED OUT
OUT OF ONE OF THE MANY SLUM BUILDINGS
THEY OWN IN BROOKLYN AND ELSEWHERE
THE POINT IS THAT WE HAVE NO SECURITY WHAT SO EVER
AS YOU MENTIONED TO ME
ALL YOU ARE CONCERNED WITH
IS THE LEGALIZATION PROCESS
BUT IT HAS BEEN 25 YEARS THAT YOUR OFFICE
HAS BEEN OVERSEEING  THAT PROCESS
AND WE STILL ARE NOT LEGALIZED
YET MOST OF THE APARTMENTS
WHICH HAVE BEEN RENOVATED
HAVE BEEN RENOVATED WITHOUT A WORK PERMIT
RIGHT NOW THEY ARE WORKING ON THE
2ND FLOOR BURNED OUT APT
WITHOUT A PERMIT, BUT, WHAT IS IT TO YOU? RIGHT?
YOU ARE VERY BUSY TO SEE THAT ISN'T?
AND ARE BEING RENTED AT EXORBITANT PRICES
TO PEOPLE THAT IGNORE NYC HABITATIONAL LAWS
THESE PEOPLE PROVIDE THEIR OWN HOT WATER
AND ALL OF THE OTHER AMENITIES THAT A LOFT TENANT
MUST PROVIDE AND YET THE HABITATIONAL LAWS
SAY THAT THE LAND LORD MUST PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES
SO ON THE ONE HAND THEY EAT THEIR CAKE AND KEEP IT TOO!
NICE LITTLE ARRANGEMENT AIDED AND ABETTED
BY YOU AND YOUR OFFICE, YES THE SAME OFFICE
THAT  GIULIANI WAS USING TO LAUNDER MONEY THAT HE COULD NOT FUNNEL
TROUGH THE OTHER AGENCIES OF CITY HALL
IN EFFECT HE AND GOD ONLY KNOWS
HOW MANY MORE GIULIANI'S HAVE BEEN THERE
 HE IS THE ONE THAT GOT CAUGHT
 HAVE BEEN USING THE LOFT BOARD
 FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT TO BRINGING
THESE BUILDINGS UP TO CODE
IT SURELY SERVE YOUR PURPOSES
WHILE YOU HAVE BEEN ALLOWING
THESE CONVICTED FEDERAL FELONS
TO HARASS US TO NO END
RIGHT NOW YOU ARE PAYING
A DEFT EAR TO THE HARASSMENT
BEING  PERPETRATED ON AN
80 YEAR OLD LADY ARTIST 
BY THE NAME OF LAURA MARQUEZ
A LOFT  TENANT ARTIST LIVING AT 78 READE ST
 FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS,
I FIND YOU ACTIONS DESPICABLE
 AND OUTRIGHT CRIMINAL WORTHY OF A
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION
I WILL PROVIDE ALL THIS DATA TO THE FBI
BECAUSE YOUR OFFICE IS BOUGHT AND SOLD
BOSS TWEED WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU
YOU ARE CERTAINLY FOLLOWING
IN HIS HONORABLE TRADITION
"TWEED LI DI AND TIL DEN DUN"
MEAN TIME YOU ARE INSPECTOR
THAT DOES INSPECT ANYTHING
BLIND AND DEFT TO THE CORE
I UNDERSTAND YOU JUST LOOKING AFTER YOUR OWN ASS
AND OF COURSE YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS ANYWAY
SOMEBODY ELSE IS WHO KNOWS WHO
AS LONG AS THE CHECK ARRIVES
COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW IS IT
THAT IN 25 YEARS YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO BRING THIS BUILDING UP TO CODE
SMELL LIKE ROTTEN FISH
AND I WILL BRING THE MATTER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF INVESTIGATIONS
YOU ARE MISUSING THE POWER VESTED IN YOU
AND YOUR OFFICE AND MISUSING
THE PUBLIC FUNDS FOR YOUR OWN ADVANCEMENT
SERVING AS A VASSAL OF CRIMINALS
WHAT HAVE YOU AND YOUR OFFICE
 HAVE BEEN DOING FOR 25 YEARS
WHAT ABOUT BEVERLY MILLER     
WHAT HAS SHE BEEN DOING FOR 25 YEARS
COLLECTING A SALARY ON OUR BACKS
YOU PEOPLE OWE US BIG TIME
AND YOU MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE
SOMEHOW THE CHICKENS WILL COME HOME TO ROOST
LOOK AT MADOFF MR GOODY GOODY
HE IS DOWN AND SO WILL YOU
WE ARE NOT YOUR STEP LADDER
ON YOUR WAY TO BETTER PERKS
OR YOUR DOOR MAT SO THAT YOU CAN STAND
AS YOU SAID OVER THE PHONE
WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE LOFT BOARD
