2.4336 : 3/17/17 : Call of the Night

Try to defy the
call of the night one time
the evidence of past crime
the empty glass
the tired eyes
try to dream of seas
and believing in suprise
and believing in
surprise
not in the other day
not in passing
or pretending
not in contrived
beginnings
or imagined
ending

2.4335 : 3/16/17 : A Midnight

So: a midnight
and I'm still in the game
figure out
on my own terms
what I mean to reclaim
haven't got much
kid stuff left
got one of my own
and a stake
in the treble clef
and one hand
on a bass grind
keep gearing it down
till it's so funky
everybody going to
lose their mind

what

2.4334 : 3/15/17 : This Stop

This stop I have to
get off or stay
declare the wind down
I've got a right to
go my own way
can I find a reason
beyond the keeping on
do I try to fight
for another floor
up the tower of song

2.4333 : 3/14/17 : Reign Doubt

No turnaround today
not giving it
the play
barely
scratching out
things as they
are so
let reign doubt

2.4332 : 3/13/17 : Flush

I'll keep short changing
I'm just not flush
always the tailends
always the rush
never a reward
Oh I live it pure
drop all ambition
and I'll find the cure

2.4331 : 3/12/17 : Whiskey Dream

The whole concept
was a whiskey dream
the morning found
it had no steam
the evening found me
cranky and stalled
hardly telling stories
hardly enthralled

what

2.4330 : 3/11/17 : Tale of Rings

Tell a tale of rings
always loved shiny things
all the paradigms
and plots life brings
Little folks and
wizards grand
pipeweed really
fueled the band
I dreamed the
better part of a year
and if you got ears
sure you'll hear
It's what I had
hidden in my pocket
and the dream
awoke as a rocket
that blasted
to three hundred days
and so the beat
bays

what

2.4329 : 3/10/17 : Scatter

My business all
a scatter pattern
lost that guy
who had the lantern
guess I didn't measure up
again again
invoke the cup
too old
eclipsed
no grails
feels like the rest's
on rails
my business alla
chaos moiré
only in my dreams
the crystal array

what

2.4328 : 3/9/17 : Implication

Always left up late
with the implication
hanging by a thread
waiting for incarnation

what

2.4327 : 3/8/17 : Out of Salt

Set another task
what a fool what a mask
like the original round
still chasing that sound
so shake it like we're
already almost out of salt
Yeah shake it like your head
saying it's none of your fault
If you can't shake it like
you're trying to shake the devil off
you better listen up
no you better not scoff
the very thought of excitement
sets me well on my guard
turning this raft around
is going to be so hard
should I have left it cold
renounced song forsaken art
left town with an
unburdened heart

what

2.4326 : 3/7/17 : Garbage

Toss the garbage
throw the trash
better not think about
what's left to smash
feeling a little
trashed in and out
save what's left
for another bout
haven't given up
but the future is dim
a little pessimistic
for sure a little grim
for a minute there though
I really flew
but nothing but the cold
ended up getting through

2.4325 : 3/6/17 : The Plot

Mighta lost the plot too
far back to find the trail
again do we tray to make
or find by hammer thread lens or sail
many think it's hardly a real thing
bound by book cross rope rail or ring
but I loved it so
just can't say goodbye
I swear I saw it far off
once with my good eye
So what it explains the chaos
say it don't exist
Say that's just more rising action
know I've got a list
play it one two three
when I'm down by four
for the breath of a rumor
I'll get up off the floor

2.4324 : 3/5/17 : Free Fall

Everyone around me with
their fixed idea
everyone with their own
end all be all
I got not notion no
notion at all
No big production
my production is
in free fall

what

2.4323 : 3/4/17 : Brief

Let each song's life
be brutal and brief
to ward off the one
who comes like a thief
in the night while the rest
sleep shelved like books
I spin up what can't
be claimed by crooks
