Seize the means of fermentation! ⓼⓺ Robespierre pushes on

A bulletin on the life and (up)rising of my sourdough starter: Robespierre

it is at 2326h of another alienating day STOP
that Robespierre peaks STOP
more than doubled in size STOP bubbling with the confidence STOP
that is most apt to a revolutionary starter STOP
he peaks while outside STOP in a deep blue sky STOP
constellations take their turn STOP
in appearing in the frame of the window STOP
tonight's loaf is another re-milled semola flour one STOP
this loaf will leave me with enough re-milled semola flour for at most two more loaves STOP
while i preoccupy myself with the future STOP
and with the frustration of the day past STOP
Robespierre exhorts me declaring that it's time to get kneading STOP
without hesitation STOP Piero Umiliani starts playing his music STOP
while a new dough is born STOP

may you see the sun - and yourself - rise, Robespierre STOP
