A bolt from the blue like the slap of your nubile hand on some unsuspecting specimen of unknown etiology, ideologically inclined towards the populist from the angle of its left-leaning wing.

Until the lot of us go up in smoke like so many rootless synopses, synaptically unbound. & the invisible hand slapping us down, to dubious effect.
