I recall, it was like TSA had groped,
Probed and lightened their load:

“Militant mass-action is forbidden aboard the aircraft”
“Proletarian Internationalism must be dumped out here”
“Revolutionary attitude toward the state is absolutely forbidden beyond the gate!”
“You are allowed to bring aboard:

2 oz plastic bottles of reformism
2 oz plastic bottles of tokenism

Their non-stop flight—
Making their descent
Three years left in the
Holding pattern, acting as
Floatation devices under one
Seat aboard… Air Force One…
