those pastries we ate last time - where did you get them?

at the protest.

i want some now, can we go and get them?

no.

why not?

i’ve only seen them at the protests. they don’t exist anywhere else.

that’s impossible. how can that be?

i don’t know. but the revolution lives on these. at every protest, these pastry sellers materialise. and we all eat. it’s like the revolution happened only because of these pastries.

and one million cigarettes, all smoked into the dirt.
