A panicle is a compound raceme, a loose, much-branched inflorescence with pedicellate flowers attached along the secondary branches
(in other words,
a branched cluster of flowers in which the branches are racemes).

November Manifesto
1. We declare this a manifesto for the new age, an age of
2. gridlock.
3. YOU ARE CAUGHT BETWEEN INTERLOCKING PULLING APART MACHINES you will run in futility from one pole to another and fall at each crushing yourself with your failure to care and unwillingness to accept
4. We are overeducated. We have managed to talk ourselves out of everything.
5. We declare ourselves against all organisation, holding the root of evil to be the attempt to turn desires into systems, to achieve one’s aims through negotiation with others. We declare an end to diplomacy, politeness and politics, proposing instead a sustained programme of wandering through cracked and abandoned streets, picking fruit off the vine and fucking who you please (libraries will remain open in case of boredom)
6. We have dissolved the party and handed power to the councils
7. we have dissolved the councils and handed power to the trade unions
8. we have dissolved the individual and handed power to a chaos of momentary judgements THEY FIGHT LIKE RATS IN A SACK! WE have split the atom, WE have torn down every edifice that keeps people from themselves
9. we are not sure what we are now faced with.
10. This is a November manifesto, its sentiments are those of autumn drifting into winter. Between the masks and fires, heating oil and cheap wine we will end and become the dead
11. this tickling in my throat says otherwise
12. WE WILL MARCH AGAIN OUT OF THE FOG! WE WILL NO LONGER FEEL THE COLD!
13. I no longer fear the dark.
14. We reject the concept of a ‘new’ year, prioritising instead a sense of perpetual ending.
15. We have dissolved the Party and handed power to the parties
16. We live in days of perpetual twilight
17. What we propose is an end, and not necessarily a beginning. We hold that current social, economic, political, cultural and military-industrial systems have reached a point where a complete lack of any system may in itself be viewed as a solution
18. the armies of the dead will rise from the estates and homesteads from the bog and bracken and systematically tear down all attempts to overrule them They will wait in the hedgerows with pikes made of bramble They know this terrain and will trip you up
19. We have taken parliament but the middle country is not listening
20. We are known in the country but the city does not trust us. We raise our flags in the back rooms of pubs, we raise our glasses and sing the old songs. We erect scarecrows against the outsider on abandoned roads We will not change for you
21. DISREGARD we are not only these we are many these people will fight amongst themselves until the good wins out they will at least still believe in something
22. We have tried to build our houses but they all turn into monsters.
23. We believe that at a push most people are capable of living in ditches, drinking rainwater collected on tarpaulins and exchanging bread with wandering mendicants
24. nestled in the mud till it feels like warmth.
25. We will die before we live in a way that is less than perfect
26. Therefore we will die, We do not consider life an end in itself
27. WE WILL EAT OUR DEAD AND BE REBORN! get out of our fields city boy, you don’t know what you’re dealing with
28. We have made temporary alliances with the trade unions
29. We have made temporary alliances with the mutinous army
30. We have made temporary alliances with the retreating aristocracy and will eat roasted pheasant tonight in the bombed out shells of their mansions
31. we have made a temporary alliance with ourselves
32. this is a november manifesto though largely an exercise in typography it expresses something of which we are not sure but which offers at least a way forward or out
33. we will eat our dead
34. we will begin by taking the factories
2. gridlock.
