A printing press -
.
Hard to imagine, really, 
The dying of a monarchy
Alongside the dye, of a guillotine -
.
All brought about by a printing press.
.
.
In a bombed-out radio station, hidden under
Toppled scaffolds, blackened leaflets, and
Tiger-stripes of arbitrarily layered graffiti …
.
An old,
Beat up 
1952
CB radio 
.
Had been carefully re-assembled, duct taped open
And set beside the headset of a Walkman.
.
And its owner
Pictured a podium, a printing press
And a bottle of 1789 Château Lafite.
.
.
Rothschild
.
He chuckled to himself, mouth watering
And listening to the CD, skip.
