Indigestion
By Niall Twohig
Scene from Charlie Chaplain’s Modern Times
Even in the belly of the beast,
we can rebel.
Cause it indigestion
by being
what it cannot stomach:
Be Love,
Be Peace,
Be Playful,
Be in Solidarity.
Or, if you prefer
our other metaphor:
Be a garden in the machine.
Let your roots and vines
tangle its cogs and gears.
