Maciunas’ vision of his Fluxkits as three-dimensional magazines, each containing a number of small cards, objects, and games contributed by various artists. He presented each Fluxkit in a customised case and the first kits were marketed at $100. The kits exemplified Maciunas’s principles of collectivism and collaboration.

Moonlight’s Song Form: Acrostic Sonnet
Mother of tides lend me your song Over the seas echoes of grace Open my heart and keep me strong Night-time lady show me your face Lace my dreams in the ways of light Invite my soul to go your way Grant me peace in this world of fight Hold my heart safe until the day To trust in your love I am bound Seeing truth in your lunar glow Senses burning on silver ground Oh lady moon I feel your flow Never-ending rhythm of life Gentle touch in a world of strife
And now our government a bird with two right wings flies on from zone to zone while we go on having our little fun & games at each election as if it really mattered who the pilot is of Air Force One (They’re interchangeable, stupid!) While this bird with two right wings flies right on with its corporate flight crew And this year its the Great Movie Cowboy in the cockpit And next year it’s the great Bush pilot And now it’s the Chameleon Kid and he keeps changing the logo on his captains cap and now it’s a donkey and now an elephant and now some kind of donkephant And now we recognize two of the crew who took out a contract on America and one is a certain gringo wretch who’s busy monkeywrenching crucial parts of the engine and its life-support systems and they got a big fat hose to siphon off the fuel to privatized tanks And all the while we just sit there in the passenger seats without parachutes listening to all the news that’s fit to air over the one-way PA system about how the contract on America is really good for us etcetera As all the while the plane lumbers on into its postmodern manifest destiny

Eyes of children shine with anticipation Excited chatter in their letters to Saint Nick While parents are laden with that frustration Of knowing just the perfect present to pick Each gift disguised in bows and shimmering wrap The energies of Christmas must be on tap As the last parcel is placed beneath the tree And then there is time for that last cup of tea
