It's the 4th of July. The next door neighbors have hung a U.S. flag on their house. It's not on a pole. It dangles vertically, like a pall. I still have the freedom not to hang a flag. I do not hang a U.S. flag. I still have the freedom not to undergo stomach amputation. I say, "No!" to so-called "weight-loss" surgery. This is the flag I made today. It's all white. Like freedom in the U.S. (Credit to Jasper Johns.)

stomach #13: freedom
materials: staples; white paper plate that previously held a toasted rye bagel with cream cheese, tomato slices, and salt and pepper, from the local bagel shop; woven nylon placemat placed at the seat previously used by the artist's mother, who has been dead for not quite three years; teak table used continuously for more than a half century, for shared family meals in the artist's childhood home, which is seven miles from Disneyland (the "happiest place on earth") and 8.8 miles from the Nixon Library.
