Welcome to this week’s
atrocity
Warhol guess what
in the 21st century
we are all devastated
for 15 minutes
ballard this exhibition
defies your wildest
imagining
lone wolves and
monolithic states
at war and the battlefield
the bodies
of all the rest of us
welcome to new atrocity
same as the old atrocity
