“No doubt they’ll sing in tune after the revolution.”
-Kamarovsky in Doctor Zhivago (film)
Kerenskys marshaled in two ordered lines
Unsure exactly how to stand, to pose
Merry banter, backpats, handshakes, and smiles
A show, a glow of Party unity
And then – a hiss, a strike, a spit, a spat
In sixty-second bursts atop the tomb
Comrade against comrade, a free for none
The audience applauds the ****** fun
Who is the Trotsky, and who the Stalin, then;
Who will die in exile, and who will win?
