A Cheer for the Typical (A Love Poem)
In a stable environment, immediacy is the way to
See business as usual--just enough, just in time--
As planned by a capital career lifestyle.
Go mainstream, make alternative adjustments; if
A minor setback, contingent derivative designs are
Solutions, opportunities for the idea generation.
But what then when in need--knowledge stretched
To the limit, beyond preparedness.
Oh to be back then when...
Being before was a sustainable future: supply-chain
Exploits, frameworks maintained by quality controlled
Workflows--honed skills, the process practiced, budget
Acrobatic balancing.
Economic surplus mitigated target market seasonal
Change forces; sociological prognostications calculated
Mathematical probabilities, possibilities,
The scientific likelihood the artful humanities would
Confabulate a denouement, a conclusion that pops the
Bubble, that has been limiting collaboration.
How long until the plaguing dissonant narrative is
Dissipated, the subject matter subverted, the wait until
Advertisements, marketed slogans, campaign messages
Be considered a responsibility to be kept, the end-goal,
A promise to accomplish.
For the moment, as the global scope challenges local
Perspective adversely, typologies of cultural heritage
Bring to memory snapshots of perseverant resolve--
The typical, from down below and above.
