Andy Denham

Speak Easy

If hush is a ghost, it will soon become phantom. 
If silence is a pool, then I wager, it’s a deep one. 

And so it is (reading two)

You look at me, a thousand cogs whirl in your mind.
How old is he, what does he do, his face looks kind.

Dictate or another trait? (reading two)

Belligerence, fortitude, stubbornness and greed
Are these necessary traits for one to succeed?

Doing unto others (reading two)

Really, make retribution your master and your king?
Really, consider making realised vengeance sing?

Style (Reading two)

My management style is very outcomes based
To empower and to delegate so my team don’t feel chased

Scratch the scar

The skin is thin and you know you’ll bleed.
Don’t start itching.

Being

It doesn’t take much to change a state of being.
From completely blind, to virtually all seeing
 

I am machine

I am efficient provider, built over years.
I am industry personified, without peers.

Know Knew Now

If knowing is all, then I know.
If knowing is now, then I knew.

Man…tarah (reading 2)

Plutocracy of youth.
Duplicity of age.
Flagrancy of truth.
Complicity of wage.

Storm Flower (reading 1)

This manmade calamity, we are tottering on the brink.
Failing, sliding, out of control, on a torturous ice rink.

Induction (reading 2)

Can ingrained knowledge magically transfer without real contact?
Like inducted energy can it leap a chasm, is it charged to attract?

Evolution of the non-feeling

With skin flaps as blinkers, your view is fixed.
Your tear ducts are barren, crying never piqued.

Anti-organisation

Disarray to some, unstructured order to others.
Eclectic dishevelment or is that a clever cover?

Disrespectful catchphrases.

Do not take it personally, but with all due respect!
Two phrases that are ironical at best!

I am a teacher

Each and Every Day,
I lecture, I instruct, I coach, I explain.

Your vision is too narrow (reading 2)

The problem, as I consider it, is not to do with me.
It really is to do with you, and the narrow world you see.

A Blank Piece of Paper (reading 2)

A blank piece of paper,
They told us all.

The Jabbercock (reading 2)

Slipath follies and gogeth kooks, his hole weld thus defined.
As his high topery shreaks, zensith becomering hard to find.

Time is a flat circle

All we've done, we do again
Repeated joy, repeated pain

Malnourished Thought

Holistic disapproval in this effigy of courage.
Mysterious panacea disguised in your haulage.

Mental health sonnet

Sick, what do mean, are you taking the piss out of me?
Fuck off, why are you worried, really, how can that be?

Moral Compass

Let’s plan our way, orientate ourselves and navigate our trip.
Not a simple journey, a whole life through which we’ll skip.

Real World (reading 2)

They say you can’t hack it in the real world.
They say you bask in theories hiding from the real world.

Shabby Shite (reading 2)

How abstract this form of quaint expressionism.
Strange, this workstation viewed through a prism.

SOS

Architects of possibilities and creators of real pain.
Refinance, strategic choice, I am feeling shit again.

F**k the open plan office

Today I'm really busy.
Have lots of things to do.
I'm really very focused.

I’ve Been

I’ve been too humble and too many times, foolishly rude.

JFDI

This hapless process will never, ever, work.
On that, I would bet my reputation, my shirt.
