Planningtorock - "Patriarchy Over & Out". The Ministerium of Men did not expect this. Yes, they expected an attack - rebellions had been predicted for decades, since the Sisters were thrown in jail. They had thousands of plans and counterplans, for - they thought - every eventuality. But they did not expect this. Sun crested over the capital and the rebel's army glinted only dimly, like pebbles on a beach. They did not wear platemail or exoskeleton, did not ride siege weapons or tanks. They did not have bazookas on their shoulders, nor crossbows, nor laser-rifles. There were no elephants. The rebellion against the Ministerium of Men did not ascribe to any known metaphor of war. They rejected precedent, model, pattern, structure. They wore silk and steam, cinnamon and plywood. Their vehicles were manta-rays and teen idols, ice-cream floats and Oscar Meier trucks. They carried holstered oak leaves, skip-ropes, romances, Bill Cosby impressions, echo. They marched in disorder, like swirling ocean eddies or barfing grandmothers. They seemed unknowable, carpeting the plateau. They had green eyes and brown eyes and grey eyes and blue. Their voices, shouting, seemed protean and mystic, stronger than any senator. "Yé-ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-ye," they shrieked. "No no no no no no no, no no no no no." In their marble chambers, the Ministers trembled. [Out 30 July / bandcamp]
