LOOKING BACKWARDS: 30 YEARS
(For Diana, who was 4)
The workers demand their voice - give us
Words, they exclaim - cry utter speak say.
Instead we created a slogan - "You are not
Living your lives, we are": This is a Sit-
uationist statement. Please hand in your
Party cards at the exits. Door Zero: this is
Ideology - the children play manifestation,
Startle the gendarmes. Broken heads and blood
On the cobbles - epicentre of the phenomenon.
The circles spread and spread and it was usually
Posture. Nothing much happened, after all -
Cambridge was fun, but trivial.
Then the wave crossed the Atlantic, and
There were four dead children at Kent State U.
