Socialism in One Pantry

I wrote this poem after spilling tea on a book by C.L.R James, called 'world revolution.' It is worth noting that for me, as for many others, tea is a signifier for eastern philosophy a sort of humble ordinary mind, amongst other things.

Socialism in One Pantry

I spilt tea on the world revolution.

But it didn't stain.

I spilt tea on the world revolution.

But it looks just the same.

I spilt tea.

But the revolution stands only to gain.
