Standing strong Under Attack

A while back I walked around Newark and put our stickers up on metal posts, power boxes, and anything else I thought they could stick to. Maybe I'm a vandal, but if I am then so is the rest of the world. These things were already plastered with flyers, stickers, and graffiti.

Every so often the cops come by and scrape everything off of the mailboxes, doorways, telephone poles, parked cars, brick walls, slow pedestrians and whatever else my fellow vandals decorated. Much to everyone's dismay this happened last week. The poles are suddenly bare, marked only by glue stains and, incredibly, Look Machine stickers. They are just too sticky to peel off. They are scraped up, their corners are missing, but they stand strong. They can rage against the machine, but we will never be beaten.
