there is no need to move
from the city’s concrete cages
to well-tended terrariums
on the west end of town
the revolution has been posponed
posters bearing harsh language
can be found beneath a mound of credit cards
and vote for me signs written with magic markers
by one time revolutionaries in pinstriped suits
the revolution has been postponed
black entertainers hug the president
with step-and-fetch-it passion
bowing and smiling to all before them
as if on a mississippi showboat
and the revolution has been postponed
television commercials demonstrate
how black noses can be relieved
by jamming it up your nose
instead of someplace else i guess
and the revolution
has been postponed
black power signs are given
but usually below the belt
like the punches we take from the man
and as for the revolution
well man
it’s been postponed
