A Call To Arms:
As the fervent nationalism of the 4th of July passes and the dystopic reality foisted upon us by our Baby Boomer predecessors comes into focus; we band together hand in uninsured hand to help the meager and the injured.
One month ago Saint Genet and Implied Violence Company Member, Council Member and High Chancellor of The New Mystics, and Bike Messenger Extraordinaire Thomas Jefferson Chapel was in a bike accident. Crashing head long into the pavement his helmet protected his enormous skull but did little to prevent his two front teeth from being knocked out and on to the searing cement. Paramedics promptly took him to the hospital and jammed his two front teeth back into his bleeding gums. Where they now sit blackened, chipped, and dying. Fully employed yet under-insured Thomas Jefferson Chapel shows himself to be the rule rather than the exception of our broken health care system.
His friends and colleagues have taken it upon themselves to insure their dear friend, collaborator, employee, roommate, and co-conspirator who through no fault of his own lost his teeth; and has the burden of mounting hospital bills and looming dental surgery pushing him ever closer to the looming abyss of bankruptcy or worse.
