Brute (August)

How different is the soft tap of the vote slip in the pop-up ballot box to the brute click of the columnist’s mobile in the intended’s ear. The August coup went absurdly wrong but the brute clique got their hit. The citizens feel both intimate and powerless, informed and remote, distant from the kangaroo forum. ‘Et tu, Brute?’, the second person singular intimate and final. Yesterday they slapped him on the back who now thrust the knife. Bloodless as a cartoon, the coup delivered a million Angry emojis on Caesar and the rest, all honourable men, and a few women.
