Today’s fea­tured poem comes from Giles Ipes, a writer who is some­thing of a reg­u­lar on our blog. An inci­sive, cyn­i­cal piece, The Hand­i­cap Prin­ci­ple draws on the the­o­ries of “Zahavi et al.,” and trans­poses them against human bureau­cracy, the mirage of prop­erty own­er­ship that is essen­tially a cor­po­rate peacock’s tail, only the bluff is a finan­cial deceit, not a sur­vival instinct. The poem adopts a con­ver­sa­tional reg­is­ter, though this cou­pled with the wry ques­tion­ing of the final stanza imbues the piece with a emo­tional des­per­ate inten­sity that comes from the narrator’s plead­ing and inquis­i­tive­ness, attempt­ing as both they and the financ­ing agency are, to appear to be both pea­cock and pea­hen at once.
