The Right Rationale
Posted: December 28, 2016 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... 6 Commentsplain desires
so easily gratified
in civilised states
are nothing more
than rationalised acts
too common in the wild
and should one observe they’d find
that everything we romanticise
is what nature supplies
so we impose limits
on life and love
in order to capture experience

The Case of Killian Hill vs The State (v)
Posted: December 27, 2016 Filed under: Words In Imaginary Motion 5 CommentsSetting: offices of Giles & Jerico Actuarial Practice
Personae:
Killian Hill, high net worth individual – client of Giles & Jerico
Giles Goldstein, personal wealth manager
I suppose you’re already aware of the new administration’s tax repatriation plan…
Of course, perfect time to move some cash back into the US.
Good for business yes, but not sure about the trickle down economics claims.
Speaking as a man of wealth, I’ll let you in on a little secret: the words ‘for public benefit’ simply allude to a ‘no liability ransack’ and in this case it just means we (the rich) can use the cash for share buybacks, and cement our power even further. And I hope you’re already on top of things?
No need to panic. I’ve got it under control.
Gimme detail!
All right then, I’ve left most of the funds in the Cayman Islands in situ for now until I have clearer insight into post-Brexit volatility. However, I am moving some money out of Europe and selling off some FTSE shares to make sure we’re liquid since the S&P 500 is bound to boom in buybacks.
Well, okay. Do what you gotta…
Hark! It’s done. Don’t worry. Have some festive season fun, will ya?
I will, if you can guarantee there won’t be any controversies. Clean transactions. How about that!
Got it, no Razak – 1MDB scandal type of biz – none of that! All pizzazz!
Psst! Giles please, save it! As long as I’ve known you, you’re always optimistic this time of year. You call it festive spirit, I call it big bonus buzz. So don’t get too comfortable or this year’s might just be the last!

Concatenation of Creations
Posted: December 27, 2016 Filed under: Words In Imaginary Motion 2 Commentseach year begins with something of a string theory to start off
as if to simply say “hello, world”
and daily the artful demise I will stave off
even when my passion is buried under gravel
because the only ending I forsee is my heavenly lift off
but even then the word will be reincarnated in another universe parallel

Remember December
Posted: December 22, 2016 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... 6 CommentsThe fertile plains of optimism
We have traversed
In a year gone by
And so without another ism
Or line rehearsed
Sincerely I do hope that our connection has been made stronger
Shortcomings made self-evident
And other vulnerabilities laid bare
All for the purposes of exploring the human condition
Who knew self-revelation could be the foundation for communication
Let alone inspiration
I won’t say so long
But rather make a call
For all to remember that the responsibility of an unburdened artist
Is to express their creativity openly
With the understanding that influence is one element of social engineering
So that all this big data
Consists of the future building components
Which will turn the Internet of Things into the Internet of Beings

Chasing Carmen ii
Posted: December 21, 2016 Filed under: Inhibitions Illustrated, Words In Imaginary Motion Leave a commentI listened to her every word
Despite the noise in the room
I’ll admit it took some effort
To perfect the cocktail party effect
Still I kept thinking
I’ll get the hang of it pretty soon
And sure enough I did
Now that she had my complete attention
So as a gentle flower’s bloom
Our conversations matured
Beyond what our tongues could dissect
As if nature had sealed our fate
In order that we could experience such intimate feelings
But then soon after
I heard a bang… and again came the boom
The art of more had brought me much love indeed
Only to realise once we got separated
That she was everything I’d ever needed
And now it doesn’t even matter how many catch my eye
For it seems I’m forever chasing

Harlequin Horizons
Posted: December 19, 2016 Filed under: Inhibitions Illustrated 2 Commentsif preference implies prejudice
then guilty i should be found
for wanting what my heart desperately craves
these flesh filled feelings
i am made of
desires i cannot reduce
or disguise in the crevices of heartbreak
like a lover’s sweet lips
which hide the truth in a word
spoken from the hips
the lies
minds screwed loose
cobra pose… my favourite asana
peace sign for the cause… her legs to the heavens
mana
by the romantic life we abide
and use to procreate

A Match Made On Earth ii
Posted: December 18, 2016 Filed under: Words In Imaginary Motion 7 CommentsI had a Wabi-sabi moment
as I sat there admiring her beauty
in the bonsai decorated tea garden
all her imperfections had an ephemeral quality
dismissable on reciprocation
but noted for that time being as a self-defence mechanism
in case there was no exchange of feeling
then I could always use that as my reason for not pursuing
but when it soon became clear she was in the company of another man
I used that reason instead to escape the fanciful chase and consequently cease all intent to perpetuate hormone induced wooing
based on just instant and peculiar attraction
and as I let go of the fantasy
reinforced by a somewhat cowardly but moral code
that what one couldn’t have, one had no right to desire
ironically then I also found myself actually enjoying the cup of matcha on the chabudai
instead of indulging in lustful thoughts over the gorgeous girl who could potentially be a future femme fatale
and was unfortunately not a match to be
