when i see a cop car get smashed on

when someone suggests yet another noise demo

when i make my own critique of the iso

when a trot writes a million page critique of the ISO

when i hear about who’s mad at who and what they’re doing about it

when we reunite after a painful political split

when someone criticizes an academic and gets accused of being anti-intellectual

when i read that after the crest piece on occupy oakland

when i forget to use a friend’s new name or pronoun

when i have to dress up for court support
