Marxism For Dummies (6)

Marxism For Dummies (6)

A Poem by Arezzo

As Arkansas could never be Alaska,

so no-one wants Montana to be Maine.

Could North Dakota claim to be Nebraska?

Can Vachel Lindsay double for Hart Crane?

 

If Sing Sing isn’t Appalachian Spring,

and Justin Bieber can’t be Frankie Laine,

or William Burroughs isn’t Stephen King,

then Terminator Two’s not Citizen Kane.

 

If Fifty Shades is not The House of Usher,

and Ginsberg couldn’t write the Wayside Inn,

why should you think that China’s part of Russia,

or Kim Il Sung is also Ho Chi Minh?

 

Why should they be colluding, callous elves?

Why can’t they be as different as ourselves?
