2.4378: 4/28/17 : Abdicate

I know I'll
abdicate
leave my crown
at home
forsake the state
feeling fine
in my hoodie
and chucks
flying free
and giving no
grey ducks

2.4377: 4/27/17 : Tests

Not tests to fail
tonight no
derail points
to shatter
on autopilot
plowing through
to refuse you all
your saint's
head on a platter

2.4376 : 4/26/17 : Plumb

Odds strike me slim
which one am I
pretending to
and what's the deal with him?
When the intertia
pendulum
ceases to swing
and hangs straight
plumb
and the appetites
wash over twice
just another
half turn of the vice

2.4375 : 4/25/17 : Coup

Restless in the box
unsure of the locks
Maybe just the jones
butcher the meat
get left with the bones
no interest in a coup
never drop
the other shoe

2.4374 : 4/24/17 : Decay

Is it just first day
decay
issues
or the cracks
revealing
truth
and ugly buzz
familiar
frequency
humming in
every tooth

2.4373 : 4/23/17 : Rickety Raft

As the rickety raft
approaches the falls
everybody argues
nobody helping at all
nobody paddling or
bailing anymore
Can you bail out a raft?
What they're arguing for
are the falls really coming
Is it that far down
Whose fault was the river
Who chose to leave town
Should we get out and swim?
every soul to its own
who should we chuck out after
all opportunity is blown

what

2.4372 : 4/22/17 : IMPRECISE

The eventual response
was imprecise
tended to excess
extracted a price
left a debit
hell what else is new
somewhat to my credit
keep things generally true

2.4371 : 4/21/17 : Raise

So to raise hell
or let things slide
little likely to change
old same will abide
is it honest or just
jealous ire
steal somebody else's fire
but I'll scope it
maybe say my peace
half honest
half spent for release

what

2.4370 : 4/20/17 : Try to Figure Out

Try to figure out
when faith matters most
notice who's the parasite
realize you are the host
who will you trust in between the lanes
not to push you under the bus
out on the mean streets
where only cement reigns
this ain't the end of me
not half not even close
I've got the medicine
I've got a double dose
count five twice open palm
and then I curl it tight
you best to cover up
I showed up here to fight

what

2.4369 : 4/19/17 : Blunders

My share of blunders
foul the data
reveal some secret kink
to wipe out the slate, a
theory of self-sabotage
might well appeal
though I doubt there's much to it
doubt that it's real
just another opportunity
to feast on crow
guess I get down to it
familiar don't you know
at the end of the day
will I really just laugh
hope there's a sunny side
to every stupid gaffe
