“All attempts to aestheticize politics culminate in one thing: war.”
— Walter Benjamin

Halfway across the world, all hell breaks loose.

The Antichrist and his sidekick

have got some whimpering joker in a corner

to bully the fuck out of. One pokes

and berates. The other rifles

his pockets for change. Thumbs up.

Boot up the ass. And steer the next one in.

Grovels. Grunts and a kick. This one’s good to go too.

He barks.
