whiz aplomb
(a waltz; for l
ack of further
abstraction:
dis crumply
’tis [of thee].
uh, thi
s need
s work.)
okay, so the
title has been
offered so now
please forget
it as it’s 100%
irrelevant (or
is it?) (damn,
sorry, just ki
dding, it is) (i
rrelevant, i
mean). let
me start a
gain. okay,
so it’s better
today to use
a phrase like
sustained inn
ovation than
disruptive any
thing is the pr
emise here. i
can see that,
but let’s not
even begin t
o deny such
reinvention,
such innova
shin is always
at play, and in
terms of old, a
s in old school
business, or e
ven just the n
otion of old fa
shioned – esp
ecially in bid
ness – that
which brings
in the dough,
so to speak
(which i’m
not. speak
ing, that is),
in terms of
old anything,
things beco
me flatulent,
a fragment,
stagnant; i
cannot read
my own wri
thing here.
today, the
savvy are
mostly al
ways look
ing for any
chinks in t
he armour,
our armoire,
are houri, o
ur own per
sonal arm
our, let’s ju
st leave it
at that for
now…….
the savvy
today are
just lookin’
for chinks
in our arm
our, are al
ways looki
n’ for such
chinks, and
i do mean al
ways, and th
ere just so hap
pen to always
be words, such
as always, that
i cannot for the
life of me figure
out what i meant
to have written it
to mean, though it
was just earlier
this morning. to
continue, i do me,
an always better
and more colorful
and more lucrative
way of reaching
that stated or des
ired goal, or of co
mpletely erad
icating the sa
id goal, of ma
king sure one
that’s in the s
ame family pe
rhaps as the old
goal, but has mo
re panache and/or
most often necess
arily gets the job d
one (and better and
faster and cheaper
… am i missing so
mething, like clean
er or clearer? yeah,
more than likely.).
and, let’s be clear
here, the cheaper
can, indeed, be ch
eaper, even as mil
lions of consumers
are most often mor
e than willing to dol
e out more money
for the faster, the
tastier, the more
efficient aspects of
the hypthetical is
sue. it is (or did
i write is it?) a no-
win for the tried a
nd true? The staid
mechanisms if which
time and tide have b
een proven to work
WHAT IS WORKING,
after all? do i eve
have to work? what’
s an office? what is
and here’s an area,
situated here specif
ically for its destru
shin and, boy what
an area it is for dis
rupting for any cha
nge to its being, its
process, its ecology
for disrupting, for
destroying, for reb
uilding it in one’s i
mage, for your per
sonal priorities, for
your business prior
ities, for just because
i wanna priorities, with
whom should one speak?
Are there any bots or a
multitude of bots or even
more bots plus robots wit
which to hug our consumers?
To what should we most often
nonsequitur? To whom might
one beg? You, my friends, are
getting the idea. I can see a g
limmer in your eye, the left one,
at least, the one that seems al
ways to be looking right at me.
You’re in the know, aren’t you?
Yeah, you know what, you’re
not only in the know but you
know perfectly well that you
do that thing that you do,
and how it gets! me. the
streetlamp. all the cats an
d dogs. other people. ev
erything. you know what
‘s imp and what’s non-pro
blematically ignored, you
know what’s in, and you
‘re perhaps aware of the
deus ex machina that’s
so obviously coming (a
nd soon!). These are y
our tried and true and
seminal and boring
was you’ve been coun
ting on for who knows
how long just to be ce
rtain that what needs
to get done gets done.
right? soon, each and
every one of us left w
ill be the grunts you’ve
enslaved to ever so gle
efully and effortlesslly u
p the ante, to change th
e universe, making ever
y rockin’ day as if it were
the last, as if nobody’d ev
er realized that the night
mares we all have could
rather be used to wash
and wear, or did i simply
write to weather, or
maybe it’s whatever,
but i think what it re
ally says is wagon wh
ee. yes, unlike hum
ans who are exactly l
ike me, i cannot spot
one of you sad sacks,
in, like an instant, so
please kindly tell me
if you’d’ve been rath
er generous: the ch
it that I shouldn’t’ve
given up today was
so generous that I’m
being like that last
remaining, only just
now found, of my long
gone species? should i
not quite simply and post
haste give up immediate
ly? so the question beef
ore you is should I give
up today? And if so, up
on what should I insist
then, tomorrow? And
did all the machines,
and all of the process
es, and did all of the
trees, and did all of t
he transport services,
and did all of the beac
es, and did all of the go
vernment agencies, and
did all of the all of the
dates and did all of the
plants and did all of the
nuts, decide, along with
you, because that’s exa
ctly what they were all
made to do, make this,
this, this, repentantly d
istasteful decision for me.
And will, so far, the new
year even, because by
then, I’ll have all of my
pockets filled with neu
vo cash, and I’ll be wo
rking on a four star re
staurant, on a cruise s
hip, or else I’ll be a gu
est on the same cruise,
or, say, which word m
ight soon be available
for sale, by which i me
an what planet should i
colonize, come on, you
can tell me, it’ll be our
little secret, and pronto,
and what new or imme
iately impending anoma
lies should i, meaning we,
be worried about, or be pre
paring for, or be looking for
ward to, and what are the
ways we can make ourselv
es the best we can be at th
e properest of times so tha
t we may receive what we
then will receive in the most
to indicate that we men are
merely dicks? how swift and
we put our best efforts and a
ll of our energies together, m
entity in order to achieve this
goal? Why, you really are the
is what you’ll be saying next. Be
cause I really am about to be sav
your rescue, despite all the
est whizzable roof; roof capable
of whizzability; the whizzing
roof? so that I can
take a piss while sim
ultaneously doing my
self the favor of
having a qu
ick and dirty
pick-me-up?
