So what to do when almost all one’s activities have come to a standstill because of the pandemic? Make a crankie. (Auto-correct please don’t correct this, I’m not cranky, just making a crankie.) My very first. A little rough (shadows on the screen, crackly sound from crankie cranking) but it’s a start. Done for a joint poetry and prose project by Rogue Artists Ensemble and PEN. I was sent (randomly?) a prose piece (by Carl Peel who also narrated the crankie), and asked to make a puppet, object theater, or similar video to go along with it. The prose piece I got seemed perfect for a crankie…So here it is. Some of you may have already seen this video, but if you are like me, you may have forgotten all about it, or maybe you would like to see it again?

I would be honored…and have you seen the space station many times? How do you distinguish it from other night orbs?
The next time I am out standing in my backyard, staring up into the sky to see the space station pass overhead, I will think of your cranky.
So glad!
I love it all over again!
