I wake up singing "death, courtrooms and hospitals." The next verse is "banks, boardrooms, and universities." There is a chorus "IT companies! Armies! Films!"
## HOW A REVOLUTION
How a revolution is like a newborn child How you think it might live and fear it might die How it may be bad like a rapist or heiress or tenured professor or CEO How it may be good like Emma Goldman or Iceland How in darkness you know even if it does become a rapist or heiress or CEO How in darkness you know you will always love that child / that revolution How you will keep that scrapbook How you will love the beauty like a disease that infects, with fear and benevolence, everything How you will love the beauty poets do not think to sing about How they sing of themselves the poets and their funding How for a newborn child or revolution I am like a dog who does not know to stop barking How a revolution there is blood and shit but if all goes well not too much of it How always the pain How the kisses on the newborn child and soldiers How I would kiss the newborn child/ revolution three hundred thousand times if you let me How some humans claim "the world has had enough newborn children / revolutions" How they say "look how these turned out" How the mass logic of revolution is clever with natural altruism and self-order How the logic of a newborn child is clever with natural altruism and self-order How the newborn child has a moro reflex, a plantar grasp, a tonic neck reflex, a sucking reflex How the people bring sandwiches, clean socks, and cold medicines How the newborn child laughs in its sleep How revolution is like a newborn child laughing in dream life How before it has laughed it has dreamed of laughing How a revolution is not my revolution or a newborn child not my child
