revolution for sale

a salesmen sleeps
with its ears open

"we need to get there"
it overhears

a commercial vehicle arrives
promptly waiting with its slick logo
and slogan:
"delivering revolutionaries since '61"

but
commerce is rarely the ride to the revolution

and participation
affords no ride at all

it must be marched to
then sat upon

because one can drive 26.2 miles
but it won't be a marathon
