musing duplication, compensation & accountability

a trinity of patterns incorporated into identity

is duplication a non-negotiable of our identity

it really does not make business sense

to repeat w/ disregard for common sense

yet somehow this fractal remains present

though unwanted future, past and present

how to go slow & reimagine an agreed business plan

that eliminates infinite rewriting of the strategic plan

paper moves from here to there & back again

bureaucracy attacks creativity demanding same again

duplication, compensation & accountability abrogate

destructive fractals make no sense we should abrogate

presence counsels change pace sitting in the Croí

reset imagination fuelled creativity unleashed in An Croí


this beast is fuelled by compensation

i’m not talking here simply of remuneration

rather a kind of misalligned task ambiguity

presence says in the shelter you will see

what is now is rooted in tangled histories

these radicals consume our creative energies

what leadership can this puzzle solve

are we agreed whose task it is to resolve

when mutant restructure is inherited

can this pear shape be renegotiated

and when our failures only exacerbate

change becomes harder to alleviate

can we intervene and tame this beast

to bystand now is resignation to a biopower feast

when beast demands its’ pound of flesh as price

will we choose again the 99% to sacrifice

habitus dictates this outcome is set and we will lose

presence says mindful be at the cross road and choose

life lived well together veracity

compensation is not our true identity


absent accountability a fractal latent

consequently motivation can be impotent

only some o t h e r vision

might inspire coherent action

rhythm is required to realise order

if we integrate we can be stronger

overgrown path known as a lumpy one

angry roads best never negotiated alone

only the naive demonise new structure

a liturgy of scarcity & fears abrogate adventure

fatigue has withered shared desire

like when water is withheld from a flower

can more change bring us any good

will we embrace what presence would

ontology anchor not my will but yours be done

we surrender control to the mundane grindstone

these three shall reframe absent accountability

control structure and rhythm our bread daily
