(So speaks) Innovation – Ode to Joseph Schumpeter
"Understand what unbalance is
To transform it
And for each balance
Dream rather than rest
One question for a silence
Pendulum
Draw, sort, pioneer
Isolated, stuck, set free
Serendipity, lighter breath...
Even the end is metamorphosis
And from cycle to cycle
From one step to another
From pulse to pulse
Each part of being
Cries out
Where it vibrates
Breath testifies
Up to the body
Yours, mine,
Till it vibrates
From within to without
Rattle
Pendulum dance... Unevenness
Understand what unbalance is
To transform it
And for each balance
Dream rather than rest
One question for a silence
For evidence is illusion."
