Left to themselves people
grow their hair.
Left to themselves they
take off their shoes.
Left to themselves they make love
sleep easily
share blankets, dope & children
they are not lazy or afraid
they plant seeds, they smile, they
speak to one another.

— Diane di Prima

NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us
shoving at the thing from all sides
to bring it down.

I have just realized that the stakes are myself
I have no other

get up, put on your shoes, get
started, someone will finish

avoid the folk
who find Bonnie and Clyde too violent
