a confused dream about the end of the world.
a confused set of instructions.
a fragmented coalition.
a league of disunited nations.
a split group.
a staccato command.
abrupt prose.
Congress...gave the impression of...a confusing sum of disconnected local forces.
disconnected fragments of a story.
scattered thoughts.
staccato applause.
staccato notes.
the iron is disconnected.
