As one of the blue-jacketed workers As a defiant student As a child of poverty Who never had a bicycle to ride to the Sorbonne I repudiate your vivid red flags And your graduate-school keyboard revolution And your catalogue of cliches’ and cant And your crawling housefly symbolism As one of the blue-jacketet workers As a defiant student After an all-night shift in the plastics factory I like my cuppa Earl Grey tea in my bleeding hands Someday I’ll have a bourgeois balcony And from it look down on your stereotypes
