DAYTIME PARANOIA BECOMES A JOKE AT NIGHT
Some false-bottom fear holds downtown day in a hopeless comicstrip. Waiting for a payoff from parking meters? Flames to erupt from desks full of
guilty gum-wrappers? Boring late-to-work lies—just one float flight slip skip could
lose a living nobody's making and then where? Discontinued.

Abstract China and somebody else's riot.
Black Muslim minister in Cleveland predicted a solar
eclipse in June as Allah's sign of impending war with China. Cleveland's terrified mayor
tried to cover—National Guard troops if there was no eclipse, a promise that troops
would remain in Cleveland Armory if there was an eclipse and war.
Bombgod Nickeldime mind!
Downtown faces, can you look in the mayor's eyes? There
is no pushbutton for the sun and billyclubs pump more blood than you can swallow. Are you
afraid to vomit salary and turn off atomic commercials? Bombgod is a deadpan ghost shaking
down old ladies for life insurance.
We need not apply to job bodycounters. Up all night being

Celestial spine work paid in grace.
Risk roof—to be in the night together whose bed.
Risk food—harvesting machines leave half a crop to

counterattack on their embassy by American paratroopers who landed on the roof in

They were immigrants who had come too far off for their
lord to be traced and who, since their serfdom could not be presumed, necessarily passed
for free, although born of unfree parents.
But the fact had to be transformed into a right.
It was essential that the villains, who came to settle in
the towns to seek a new livelihood, should feel safe and should not have to fear being
taken back by force to the manors from which they had escaped.
They must be delivered from labor services and from all
the hated dues by which the servile population was burdened, such as the obligation to
marry only a woman of their own class and leave to the lord part of their inheritance.
Willy-nilly, in the course of the 12th century, these
claims, backed up as they often were by dangerous revolts, had to be granted.
The most obstinate conservatives, such as Guibert de Nogent, in 1115, were reduced to a wordy revenge, speaking of those "detestable
communes" which the serfs had set up to escape from their lord's authority and to do
away with his most lawful rights.
Freedom became the legal status of the bourgeoisie, so
much so that it was no longer a personal privilege only, but a territorial one, inherent
in urban soil just as serfdom was in manorial soil.
In order to obtain it, it was enough to have resided for
a year and a day within the walls of the town.
Stadtluft macht frei ! — City air makes a man free!
