THE ARTIST IN RESIDENCE 23 : Icarus

SPLASH !!!

Gone from this place

Silence only

Earthly delight

Soundless in oblivion

Silent night

Mr Icarus Rising..

Glowering, stammering

Headache hammering

Tears fall shimmering

Hope comes a glimmering

Rising from ground zero

Remade Remodelled 

Undeconstructed

Our hero..

Returns

Found peeled

Appalled

Apart for apart's sake

Lost

Lonely

Destroyed

Icarus rising..

 

reach for the light

Icarus risen

 

All wrong but alright 

Born again bruised, broken and beaten

He stands and delivers..

Howls of frustration

Lust for life lost 

Fallen from favour

Lie about failure

Promise the future..

Perfection in flight

Flight of fancy

From salt water solution..

To new resolution

Waxing and waning..

Spend time in training..

Sleep while the sun shines..

Fly while it's raining

THE BEAR DRONES ON

yo!.. seize the dough.. innit!

REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL

russia to build own Iran drones..

yield curve inverts..

sticky inflation..

crapto collapse..

buffett rule - stocks still 166%

fed hawkish..

qt..

recession warnings..

stagflation threat..

eps falling..

8 billion souls..

climate change..

zero covid policy..

challenging world order..

santa rally surely..

gamblers still buying..

IF NOT NOW WHEN?

some think that..

this time it's different..

that the fed will stick to it's guns..

others think..

what are the chances?

ME

I think I will wait and see..

I was too early in 2000..

on time in 2009..

but never got fully invested..

I made a good call..

in 2020..

but again failed to fully profit..

I don't have the time left to mess around..

with this casino..

where the house has got it rigged..

we are all awaiting..

some great puke..

you can feel it coming..

but nothing happens..

FALSE BOTTOMS

and..

political meddling..

interest rate suppression..

and ever expanding debt..

bail outs for all..

NEXT YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT

at any rate it is possible..

if earnings per share..

fall..

and interest rates stick..

and currencies correct..

and politics keeps out..

and yields rise further..

and demand dissolves..

buyers disappear..

the great pundit says..

wait for it..

the bottom ain't yet in..

then maybe a real buying opportunity..

will come along..

again..

but..

THIS IS PALOOKAVILLE

and any day now..

slowly then suddenly..

sooner than we think..

we may wish..

we had been more careful..

about what we wished for..
