Playing with the alphabets ABC, the first few letters we practice learning new words as a child and ironically in this piece, a method to inform the contradiction between how bureaucrats should behave vs how they’re behaving. In a satiric way to share with people how to tell the difference between the two juxtaposed ABCs, in Adjective, Noun, Verb, and Adjective, Noun, Verb format.
Accountable, Aristocratic (Adjective)
Bureaucrats, Bandwagon (Noun)
Commit, Coerce (Verb)
