Michigan marches.
Passersby multiply,
Children of the resolution.
Second class.
CORPORATE GREED KILLS.
I LOVE KALAMAZOO.
LET IT FALL
Uninstall the Wall.
THE PEOPLE: TOO BIG TO FAIL.
Wail. Rail.
Stand. Demand.
Mill. Fill.
Venerate. Demonstrate.
Accelerate.
Bob Dylan in the wind.
Poets here and now.
The revolution is live.
I am the 99%
In solidarity.
In American autumn.
