COMRADE KROPOTKIN
Comrade Kropotkin
lines up meticulous
at his desk
works
at a measured pace
with clever care
consults his almanac
to get a handle
on the time
he hopes
the weather will
be fine
Sun
will shine
on all his
friends close
to the
Tsar and Tsarina
and bring
revolution and
state
of extraordinary equality
and political freedom
far to the left
of Lenin and Marx.
