WHAT TO WEAR

WHAT TO WEAR
REFUSE
RESIST
REVOLT
says his T-shirt
white and worn and wasted
Manifest your rebellion
say the smaller letters
God forbid no-one notices
that you are up in arms
done with it all
take no prisoners
burning it all down
And though it is a conundrum
(do true revolutionaries take orders?)
it is clear to me that
So ein Ding muss ich auch haben
only mine must be red
Red as my mother's heart
Red as my dripping blood
Red as my childhood's banners
Red as dawn
