LEADERLESS

and platform free,no one can be accused of "hijacking the Revolution"
Anarchists and poet-philosophers maintain horizontal equality
while APD and civic leaders seek leaders to co-opt or coerce
This cannot be.Everything is public,instantly transmitted via social media
Poetry is collected and anthologized instantly in New York/
poets are seen among the celebrity squatters/philosophers lecture crowds
but it is the people themselves determine these occupations,
which are as diverse and various as each city's police forces.
Oakland is not Austin is not New York is not London nor Melbourne
Issues that arise give rise to songs and poems-but they are of meeting influence
and less if the body of the singer/poet is absent.Adonis ignored.
Michel Aflacl too.The DECLARATION OF THE 99 merely an influence
Hassan Hanify can speak,just as Michael Moore can speak
What is more important is to come out and meet
See you on the streets.This occupation has just begun
and no past poem structure can render the future
except in free verse.
