Wounded Bee Smoker

Born Again Labor Museum August 19, 2020

Wounded Tool 32593-T – Bee Smoker (bandaged in a poem by Alexander Billet) - When the last bees died, the bee smoker filled itself with crystal meth in a failed suicide attempt. Unchecked it will float around the countryside getting people high, but only if they don’t want to be, and especially if they suffer from anxiety disorder. The Wounded Tool Library is attempting to teach the bee smoker to only get people high with their consent. Until then its pain is being managed with poem bandaging.

Wounded Sickles

Born Again Labor Museum October 25, 2019

Wounded Tool 32596-8-T - Sickles (Wounded Tool Library, Born Again Labor Museum): "Like most sickles, these artifacts grew tired of harvesting crops and cutting weeds long before they were replaced by electrical and motorized tools. After misunderstanding Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass – a book very popular among sickles – these artifacts aspired to become poets. The sickles, however, are only capable of harvesting words from already existing poems. Before being captured by the Wounded Tool Library these sickles harvested most of the poetry in the St. Louis public library." (2019)
