The Left Column

Politics for Poets

politics of the here and now

These people already should know these things

Some of this we ought not to need to tell you.

appologists for rioting ought to understand what incitement is

Violence has no role in a protest. These people already should know these things

fair warning:
protest
is
to
riot
like
date 
is to 
rape.


protesting and dating
are to be encouraged.
rape and rioting: criminal activity to be prosecuted.

Become Untriggerable


be triggered to untrigger,
neigh,
be free of that kind of
operation.
become untriggerable


It's not very far from
handsome luminous political visionary to
the perp room.

don't just be a legend in your own mind . . .
keep yourself out of jail

there is no virtue is rioting.
There are no awards for looting.
You will get a lot of attention.
You will be sought, but they won't let you
back on that stage
till you spend some time
in a cage.

There is no virtue in political violence
nothing useful for the future,
no multi-generational urge fulfilled,
or happy ancestors
finally glad 
that something real
has finally occured.

the rvolution
was generations ago.
No need for any of that old-world nonsense here.

If you need
a revolution
the only ones of value
and, with a do-it-yourself quality:
you have a revolution of heart.
you expand your purpose by withdrawing
from your own delusions.
you work on yourself first
and you stop there.

Help when they need you to help.
Be there
to carry and bring.

If you think it's only glass, glass is very expensive.
Even though glass seems cheep, and common, and almost
of little or no value the fact is that it is one of our
most important resources, and valuble and would be
very hard to replace 
if it were all to suddenly need to be
with some alternative material.

Breaking glass and windows, shattering doors, or floor to ceiling
architectural panes is the sign of temper tantrum.
It's not to be encouraged.
there is no applause for you, if you behave as such.

The logistics of glass,
the billoting for all of the
glass-replacement guys,
the people in the office
scehduleing the appointment
to come and do the replacement
but they can't do it for a few days.
It doesn't happen all at once.
They got to ship it in, it's a special fit.
It might take a week or two
because of back order.
Ship it in, it's a special fit.

How come you can't wait a day or three or
21?

Shivering in the cold with the rain blowing in?

At the highschool
where they smashed out all the windows
no body can go to glasses
without wearing a coat.
And crows and ravens fly through
the giant hollow casements
and lower classmen
running for cover, 
one being carried away
by a giant condor
something he'd never seen before.

and because it'd become such a great nesting place for rare birds
The EPA Came there one day and 
declared it a Hollywood High Forest Preserve
in the upper part of that giant theatre
famous people 
going to see their kids's kids perform
and everyone clapping
even thourh there are not glass panes
in the giant casements.
They can wait
another year, month, day,
and amybe the person from the glass company
will call them back
when their special order panes
finally become available

You should alreayd know all of this.
The logistics of
getting windows replaced
special order panes.

There were no panes
at the county jail
they'd all been smashed out.
So the prisoners 
sat and shivered.

Send in the lawyers.
The judge rules
that the windows be replaced
the lawyer say boyyettee!
the custodian of the big public building
had already planned to do all of that
budget to come from the fund for the ???
the logistics of replacing glass?
Who gets to pay and who must stay
in the cold room
huddled.

Oh, that lawyer loved
loved
that young protestors so very very much
that that lucky judge, handsome second pages
all of their smiling pictures,
that judge let the happy lawyer
go and bring our little detainee
extra blankets
to protect him from the snowflakes
tumbling in
through the open casements.

He was April fooled again! 
but that won't be for another month an
a half.
   

Sean!

  

They collect
environmental fines
to fund their lavishness
