Smile for the Camera. by Heidi Blakeslee



the books
on this madness
were tossed out a few decades ago (1984 & the lot)

for the people fighting back
passively

by the people

the revolution will be filmed
by fifteen year olds
and posted to youtube within
the hour

we’re just waiting for the phones
to
charge
