From “It’s Not Nostalgia–It’s Always There”:
Mayday means a lot to me
– processions with a
statue of Our Lady &
the girls in white dresses
scattering flowers all
the way–speeches by
the priests against the
Commies who were
having their own parades –
and theirs all started in
Chicago & the fight for
the 8-hour-day – ours in
the forests of Europe &
the worshipping of May
as the start of the good
times of Spring & Summer
