When it comes to picking
Political figures I prefer
Trotsky to Lenin. Lenin to Stalin
It should come as no surprise to hear
I like Alexandra Kollantai, Rosa
Luxemburg, and Emma Goldman.
My partner says I should mention
Shelia Rowbotham and Adrienne Rich.
Angela Davis.
Countess Markievicz
In her enormous hat
Voluminous skirts
Holding a great big pistol.
