Today's poem is by Becca Klaver

The revolution starts at home
       

The revolution will be ready in, like, half an hour
The revolution is shedding like crazy
The revolution thinks it's time to put the screens back in
The revolution wobbles at the corner
The revolution leans into the window to hear you clearly
The revolution has a room of its own
The revolution like a dust bunny blows from center to margin
The revolution left the bong packed for you
The revolution is staid and plaid
The revolution can't find the can opener
The revolution hates puns
The revolution should stop hitting refresh and get on with its day
The revolution thinks it's too old for icicle light strings
The revolution only does the dishes it needs
The revolution needs a proper spice rack
The revolution gets bunchy at the corners
The revolution has vowed to use its chin-up bar every morning
The revolution left its keys in the door
The revolution makes the cat jealous
The revolution knows way up here is a battlement
The revolution flags like basil leaves on the fire escape
