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
