japan times
flat as a carpet

of haircuts

hiroshi and i met

ignorant of the world

a little accountant wanting fame

of mice, men, and vietnam

an old woman rewriting

seven years later

there is an art

there is a tide

thinking of mr. suma

thoughts of retirement

to the chair

two lovebirds

what you really want
There is an art to being managed: delegating responsibility upwards is for past masters of inscrutability and requires all the shows of primal laziness, expandable trust, and motion aversion. The seat of corporate power is no armchair but a hard office stool, and connoisseurs are assured there is no substitute to backache save headaches for the fools.
(Olivier Serrat, There is an Art.)
