"Crazy Dog Events" (Crow Indian), arranged by Jerome Rothenberg


         1. Act like a crazy dog. Wear sashes & other fine clothes, carry a rattle, & dance along the roads singing crazy dog songs after everybody else has gone to bed.

         2. Talk crosswise: say the opposite of what you mean & make others say the opposite of what they mean in return.

         3. Fight like a fool by rushing up to an enemy & offering to be killed. Dig a hole near an enemy, & when the enemy surrounds it, leap out at them & drive them back.

         4. Paint yourself white, mount a white horse, cover its eyes & make it jump down a steep & rocky bank, until both of you are crushed.
