the chocolate donuts
have decided
through
their own
highly structured
committee system
to overthrow
the
oppressive
regimes of truth
and
establish themselves
as an
anarcho
syndicalist
commune
and
honestly
I swear I can
hear them
‘all praise to the anarcho syndicalist commune’
‘all praise to the anarcho syndicalist commune’
accompanied
by the
cacophonous
drum of
jungle music
rifle fire and
the obligatory
waving of
one thousand nine hundred and seventeen
red flags
and
honestly
I swear I can
see them
marching
marching
marching
goose stepping
circular citizens
with a
hammer and
a scythe
a whisper
and
a lie
and the clock
has struck
thirteen and
the rats
are coming for
Winston
and years and
years later
comrades
we shall
instruct
our children
on the
revolutionary
benefits of
lyric poetry
and
stage manage
all celebrations
with
child stars
whose
eyes are
always
ephemeral and
horizon gazing
and on
every shoulder
shall be
a draped flag
saluting our
glorious
non-yeast-like
hegemony
