My very own Progenic genetic beginning

Last edited Fri Jul 28, 2023, 01:22 AM - Edit history (2)

They say Irish desent, white skinned, red hair,
Irish last sir name, mixed with Germanic, mixed with
the unknown.

All I can see by looking in the mirror,
Is less than, symmetric beauty.
Honestly, looking in the mirror, seeing
my own face, the crooked eyes, one a scant
bit closer to the nose than the other,
and the other with it's lazy lid, and the
nose, if only one could look away from
such a nose to see the sad fact that the
hair is mostly gone on top of the head,
and the ears that droop with age.

I won't go into the rest of the abhorred state that I currently view in the mirror regarding my own naked body.
For doing so would only make my humble genetic makeup seem far worse / while I gaze upon myself in the mirror, it is as real as it gets regarding the Art in any kind of realism terminology / I shout, only quietly, silently, so only I can hear.
And this should get me down, way, way down.


Instead, I choose to gaze upon my face and body in the mirror much like I would view a Claude Monet painting.
The farther I step away from the mirror, the more I start to see the truth behind the painting.
It's a mosaic, I see myself coming from a far broader, more diverse, progeny.

The further back from the mirror I go, the more I see the pure natural beauty.
It also helps to not ever clean the mirror.
(If there is a lot to be said about memory, the dynamics of beauty can never be foretold) --- I recommend saying such a thing to
a large group of people when you're looking like shit and about to give a speech.
Well, first things first, you say.
EBITA, someone from the crowd shouts, what the heck is EBITA?
You feel a sudden relief, well, it's Interest before taxes, And, well yes, Amortization, you kindly explain.
Yes, assets, the cost of holding down all those assets you jokingly suggest.
(While you have no idea what you're talking about at this point, but you go on anyway like you do)

Well, I think we can all agree, or possibly visualize what interest accumulation and taxation are, but amortization???

There are 2 different views considering amortization -
One, where you're looking down at the fruits to behold in the magnificent sights below, when viewing the spectacular great beauty of the Valley from the highest point on mountain top.
And the other, at the lowest depth in the Ocean where the atmosphere pressure, combined with the weight of the water becomes extreme, and yet, somehow life somehow survives / and quite possibly had a whole lot to do with much of the entire affair/ but at what price/ the A in EBITA / just maybe, perhaps, one can only guess.

You find yourself talking about general private business economics like an impressionist painter describing the beauty of short-term gain, as long as it satisfies the shareholders, and then you laugh, ha ha, aren't we all shareholders, I mean we do offer to all employees' a 5 percent discount owing this companies stock - well, that's a great investment - only then, vividly you see mortgage subsidy for the rich, only then, you become an owner of corporate shares that you bought with a discount.

It becomes easier then, to think about,
all the people who never downright own a home, the home owning shortages, nobodies building affordable housing (What?),
And yeah, there are a lot more homeless people scattered all about...


What about that reflection in the mirror / is it more real
Like a perfect reflection from the mirror used to find the clearest resolution,
like a telescope designed to view not only the farthest distance, but as it takes in distance,
it also takes in everything - 360

Just look outside tonight at the stars filling night sky, you say.

Someone shouts from the crowd, we cannot see anything except maybe if we're lucky the moon,
You have to literally drive for miles to see the Milky Way, they shout, the rest of them all salute the crazy person
who shouted out what they all thought was more than obvious.

You then say, yes, that's right. Amortization. You can't see the Milky Way at night exactly because we are in the center / and it's quite an exciting development to be in the very center.
Amortization is what the CEO, and the people who make the most money in this corporation call the heavy - is it the assets, the debt,

perhaps, what could be, is it only short-term gains, here there, anywhere that grows more ownership of stock, a greater minimizer of debt for profit purposes mostly, increased profits before any taxation, surely that makes a lot of sense.

I'm physically moving, waving my arms all around like I was the musical conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra, a genuine
physical moving art form, directing beautiful sound expression from a large group of virtuso expert musician.
(but only in my mind)

I'm insane.
I've lost my stool.
I make no sense.
Discounting Future Earning Potential
considering present value
I flush.




Peace!
