Poet-Artiste Ira Cohen and Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, Poet, Philosopher and Audio-Visual Artist. Budapest — Dec. 1998.

(A Post-Ira Poem for Ira’s Memorial)

Ira Cohen…you Wild-Eyed, Wandering Witty Wonderer!
You dared to dare those who dared to dare those who dared!
You soared like a Silver Albatross across Sapphire Blue Skies and over Emerald Green Mountains!
You explored the Sordid Sands of Time and exposed the Slime of Swine!
You ran in Spinning-Wheel spirals and danced in a trance at The Feet of Gurus, Yogis &
Fakirs!
You drank deeply from The Eternal Stream of Sparkling Stars!
You Fought Poetically Against Unholy Wars!
You adorned the images of icons with Translucent Film and Filmed Translucency in Free-D!
You held my two Black-and-White spotted Japanese mice…how Funking nice!
You were Every Woman’s, Every Man’s and Every Hermaphrodite’s Spice of Life!
You were Weird, Wily and Wacky…never shy, hardly dry, nor tacky…
Such that The Whole Phantasmaglorical World
of Thunderbolt Pagodas, Lightning-Flash Shamans, Dizzy-Whizzy Dervishes and Tantric Butterflies
Should and Shall Erect an Erection in Light of Your Explosively Bright Reflection!
And while you did all that your way; I’ll stick to mine!
You, the Son of The Thirteenth Tribe, The King of Bongo Bats, The Father of Flame-ish Hats!
Ira Cohen…He Who Has Set Minds Ablaze is Blazing Across The Infinite Universe!
Kol Tov!

“Hello”.

Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyõ is a Poet-Philosopher and Audio-Visual Artist/Moviemaker who is almost unknown to most people of Planet ONELOVE ( #PLANETONELOVE ), but You can change that, if You really care to. Because JP would do that for You if You were prevented from being world-famous by certain very powerful and unwise people. JP is the author of, “The Most Important Thought” ( book ), originator of Universal & International Infinity Day, Asimovian Robotonomics, and was made famous in 1987 as ‘The Free Advice Man’ when Alec Wilkinson wrote him up in The New Yorker magazine ( August 17, 1987, pages 18–19 ). The article was re-published in Alec Wilkinson’s anthology: ‘Mr. Apology and other essays’ in 2003 ( Houghton Mifflin publishers ). JP’s latest endeavour is to produce a series for a major online streaming service provider, titled ‘SciFi Dimensions’, comparable to Rod Serling’s ‘The Twilight Zone’. JP lives in a little, special place called Perpignan, France, on the coast of the Pyrénées-Orientales… which consists of three river valleys in the Pyrenees mountain range…from north to south, those of the Agly, Têt and Tech … on the Côte Sablonneuse … not far from Montpellier, which is not far from Marseilles. If you’d like to contact JP: you can do so via his YouTube Channel or The Free Advice Man fb page…just remember: We’re Suppose to be Homo-Sapiens…not Homo-Ignoramuses.

Asimovian Robotonomics : An Ethical, Environmental, Scientific, Technological and Social System of Economics, as a form of UBI + UBH. Term coined in 2011 ( September 30th ) by silly little me ( Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo ), in honour of the late Grand-Master of Science-Fiction and Science-Faction, author and/or editor of over 500 books … considered the most prolific among the most influential SciFi and Pop-Science Authors of Planet Earth in the 20th Century ( 1920–1992 ). Asimovian Robotonomics has already indirectly influenced millions of people around the World. The basic introduction to Asimovian Robotonomics was published by Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo in 2015 in what was then ‘OMNI-Reboot’ ( an E-magazine ), which later changed to ‘Futurism’, ‘Vocal’. #AsimovianRobotonomics

I am that I am...a lot more than the sum of who I became most famous for. The Free Advice Man, as written-up in The New Yorker magazine, was just the tip of it!
