“i will be third against the wall”
i will be third against the wall
When The Revolution Comes.
Not the first, but
the Robespierre Terror will
surely have its way with me.
They will say:
"All power to the party, all power to the state!"
But i, i desire autonomy,
And so, of me, they will cry:
"Death to the Makhnovist bandit!"
They will say:
"No gods, no masters!"
But i, i am spiritual, i am a domme,
And so, of me, they will cry:
"Death to the advocate of illusion and hierarchy!"
They will say:
"Abolish gender, abolish identity!"
But i, i have gender, i am me,
And so, of me, they will cry:
"You will be assimilated."
i am neurodivergent.
i am queer.
i am a woman.
i am trans.
i am disabled.
i am genderqueer.
But more than any of those things, i am
clearly counterrevolutionary.
And so i must die,
and thus will society be cleansed,
and The Revolution will be kept pure.
