insurrection
remember to welcome visitors
keep an open house for visitors
friends and strangers need a bed
hitch-hikers and wanders a home
publish posters for love nor money
print poems for lovers
plaster paint on gray town halls
remember to keep a football
for each side needs a game
observe a listening silence
everybody looks for flames
on weekends hawk the streets
selling magazines of view
with visions almost sighted
beyond news of anarchy's utopia.
This poem was first published in August of 1969.
