Poem in Two Beats
and a Subversive Ending


FIRST BEAT
I
slid
down
the smile
of
a word,
drilled.
That is my origin...
But,
I
don't remember
if
I
was expelled
or
if
I took my things
and
slid
down
thinking...

SECOND BEAT
It was
words
that
created
us.

They
shaped us,
and spread
their lines
to control
us.

A SUBVERSIVE ENDING
But
I
know
that
a few men
gather
inside caverns
in SILENCE

Never again will the Zapatistas be alone...

Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos
(from OUR WORD IS OUR WEAPON)
