705 : 3/15/00 : Pointless

1,177 : 1 ?


Your pointed comments leave little to imagine
I may be unambitious but that’s not such a bad sin
Does there really have to be a point to everything
So I am pointless and pointless sing
La la la
You’d like to put me in my place and knock me down
You may be bigger but I’ll make you share this town
someone’s got to be the one who doesn’t have it all
Someone’s got to have the guts to scale the wall
ha ha ha
This may be pointless but it keeps me out of hell
I may be blind but I can hear the tolling bell
If I related all that I have mulled over in thought
You would be amazed at just what song you bought
La la la

704 : 3/14/00 : Shaky Hands

Shaky hands
shaky prose
knocked down with a fire hose
hard to change
hard to resist
hard to look and not get pissed
shaky morals
fading fast
tempted by a rich repast
double mind
forked tongue
in between not old not young
look at me
on shaky stilts
patchwork mental crazy quilts
Shaky hands
Steady heart
not just any young upstart

703 : 3/13/00 : Persacutrix

Persacutrix there’s no quick fix
can you hear it
on my dime a verbal climb
a verbal spirit
It’s literal just like a bell
that tolls for thee
She takes her picks the persacutrix
shows for free
The regular just raise the bar
I’m reaching for glory
Who strives to grasp but fails to clasp
the truth of the story
The pin drops my heart stops
and skips a beat
someday the thing won’t start again
won’t that be neat

702 : 3/12/00 : Fast Master

Past fast master
of the long goodbye
too many nights
deep in thought and high
too many days on the
assembly line
has taken its toll
upon my spine
fast master I’m
a whiz with tricks
for reading hidden futures
in the yarrow sticks
for scrawling down a message
from the great beyond
watch me conjure
with a wave of my magic wand

701 : 3/11/00 : Fugitive

I’m a fugitive I’m on the run
stolen car stolen name stolen gun
I’m blazing a path straight to Tijuana
smoking lucky strike and marijuana
I’m a desperado a man for hire
matched sixes and leather attire
I’m dangerous not a man to know
A man calls with a number and I go
I’m a fugitive I’m hiding away
Won’t poke my head out for many a day
I’ve done more wrong things than I can count
but the worst is I went too many times to the fount
someday the statute of limitations will expire
then I won’t be running hiding or for hire
I’ll show my face in the sun
no more a fugitive living by the gun

700 : 3/10/00 : Beaten

My qualifications seem
strangely arbitrary
I know I’m supposed to be
doing the right things but
I just feel beaten anyway
I just feel beaten again
the answers gleaned thus far
seem very suspect to me
I know I’m supposed to be
making a difference but
I just feel beaten anyway
I just feel beaten again
I’m made of dust and air
numinous ethereal
I know I’m supposed to be
solid and present but
I’ve just been beaten again
I just feel beaten anyway

699 : 3/9/00 : Remembrance

Remembrance of things long gone
ain’t I a useless one
While others laugh and carry on
I’ll be remembering
And all you’ve heard so far is lies
My mouth must stink and buzz with flies
What should a man do before he dies
To be remembered?

698 : 3/8/00 : Switch

1,170 : 3 ?


Calcutta express watercress
desire and fire and fire
Malcontent and heaven sent
one day I’ll make it underneath the wire
Nonsense verses read as curses
time relentless unbending
I’m full of shouts looking for outs
some way to stop the signals I’m sending
Bent and battered nothing mattered
so I pushed it into the sea
it floated a while sank with a smile
it never stopped looking at me
the thing in the jar got hit by a car
and was lost forever in a ditch
while I counted change they did a rearrange
then someone pulled a switch
