RAINBOW MANIFESTO
by Ay-o


Cover your head with a yellow hat because Tristan Tzara
didn’t cover his head with one in 1916, 1918, 1919 and 1920.

Wear a violet coat because Jean-Paul Sartre, who said
"it hasn’t been sufficiently noted that the constructions,
paintings and poem-objects of Surrealism were the manual
realization of sterilities by which the sceptics of the
Third Century B.C. justified their perpetual “epoche.”
After which, Carneades and Philo, sure of not compromising
themselves by an imprudent adherence, lived like everybody
else. In the same way, the Surrealists, once the world is
destroyed and miraculously preserved by its destruction, can
shamelessly give full play to their immense love of the
world never wore one."
	Wear red gloves because fifteen years ago I was
blamed by a Japanese Communist for not painting a red flag.
	Wear orange pants because Circumference = 2*PI*r
	Wear green socks because the area of the circle = PI*r^2
	Put on blue shoes
but PI = 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884
