the last communist staggers
across the "page of day"

war veterans....
(betrayed)
...sleeping in alleyways

watch this last ******
go by

while thinking of "liberation"

and what further "sacrifice"
they will make

(the price for being so naive)

the last communist
(and shall we picture him with long hair and beard
or shall we grant him a shower and a shave)

watches them
drinking and "shooting"

trying to waken
or go to sleep

"KARL AND FIDEL AND CHE REALLY LOVED YOU!"
he says

and then he turns and keeps walking
down the street
