2.2858 : 02/28/13 : Advice

No use in my stupid words
no use in my advice
no use in my stupid dreams
utopia
sweet paradise
Who would listen to a fool
attend his stupid yap
Why am I too much the fool
to learn to shut my stupid trap
When did it all get like this
unbearable
beyond advice
what could pull us out of it
what magical device

what

2.2857 : 02/27/13 : More

When did I lose track
of what anything's for
when did it all get to
be about more more more
when will the break
and new direction come
when's the next time
I'm gonna get some get some
I'm not sophisticated
I'm not brilliant
I try to get attention
but ti's all just a stunt
I keep looking looking
for the right door
following the siren song
of more more more

what

2.2856 : 02/26/13 : Break

Here is the rock
where the tide will break
here's the real answer
to what's at stake
while my belief
absorbs blow after blow
I contemplate that breaking point
when you just know
look in my hand
baby that's not dust
So have no fear
baby of moth and rust
my treasure spot
rests in the lea of the break
and soon I will
reach out and take

what

2.2855 : 02/25/13 : Straightener

I'll run a steel
mated to an electric eel
right up my spine
the straightener all will be fine
concoct a potion
called the past eraser
I'll stand true
none shall replace her
and when the
corrupt column is true
oh what I'll
reveal to you

what

2.2854 : 02/24/13 : Survival

A ragged thong
wrapped round a bone
a wooden hook
a soapstone hone
don't give me your
survival shit
Ain't no one
walking free from it
Why don't I snap
why don't I howl
You know I ain't
such a wise owl
I'm going feral
even so
I'm breaking down
like Ragueneau
To tell the hero's
sad reveal
that white Panache
I'll never feel

what

2.2853 : 02/23/13 : Right Back To

This sick world
and no high ground for my claiming
and no end to it in sight
and my sighing, and my shaming
I could walk away
but what shall I walk toward
God help me
right back to the drawing board

what

2.2852 : 02/22/13 : The Excuses

Sick of rolling with the punches
keeping my chin up
sick of the excuses
the optimists gin up
Oh and I wanted
not to talk of it at all
but it's that time of year
and it's the usual wall
and if not this
there's not a lot to tell
actually fantastic
you can all go straight to hell

what

2.2851 : 02/21/13 : Horrorshow

A misuse of imagination
this modern horror show
between better you than me
and there but for the Grace of God I go
is the butterzone
sweet utopia
Oh baby I'll come I'll climb
that slippery slope with ya
I know I kinda been running
crash raids on it
but when you feel me
call the glory of God upon it
Ain't nobody be talking about the horrorshow
and when we get it back oh baby there we go

what

2.2850 : 02/20/13 : Stall

This self reference
pathology
will not yield to
microbiology
and if I'm fit to give
any advice at all
distract yourself
and failing that:
stall

what

2.2849 : 02/19/13 : Good Not Grim

The dream
of beams of black
and a point of pain
brought on the attack
If I could modify
the world to suit my whim
how would I really make it
good not grim
I said it once
and damn it I was right
first of all I would say
please more light
and thought it's been said
many times before
my firm injunction
would be love, not war

what

2.2848 : 02/18/13 : Sprockets

Another long night in the works
Victim of the unplanned invasion
Everybody's occupied one way or another
the dumb pathology of brand and station
to what end again I say to what end
money and power are we really such dull sockets
well too what end the virus in my guts
is it any different, self-replicating sprockets
no matter what I do it'll come again
one day the one I can't get on top of
maybe the seeds already long planted
we're all planted for the final stop off
anyway that's the easy cop
sure we'll all die guess you could drop it there
but for today my sprockets are still ticking
and it somehow still feels they could take me anywhere

what

2.2847 : 02/17/13 : No Apology

No apology
for thin blank verses
for reused phrasing
God damn my curses
I crawled up far enough
just to shake my fist at the sun
and fell back into a hazy mire
with a feeling something had begun

what

2.2846 : 02/16/13 : Always a Lightning Bolt

Always a lighting bolt
consequences great or small
that causes me to stumble
that causes me to fall
I try to get back up
so weak so very tired
sick of sickness metaphors
and the illusions they inspired

what

2.2845 : 02/15/13 : Real

This thing is happening
this thing is going on
and if this next thing don't work out
I must keep rolling on
get past these hangups
of the starting and the real
it's all been real enough always
no matter how I sometimes feel
hope is real but
doesn't mean all will be well
Please teach me to push into it
not rushing not pell mell
but not to draw back always
sudden scared at all the real
since every moment dragging feet
regret will surely steal

what

2.2844 : 02/14/13 : Funny

Bring the funny back
it will outlast the sexy
I need it super bad
when it all starts to vex me
You are my funny girl
and to me there's no other
and the long road
who knew how long brother
there's anger inside
sadness fear self-doubt
make it crazy funny
work those funny demons out

what

2.2843 : 02/13/13 : Any Change is Fine

What I seem to think I want
is not on offer
Oh how I need to open my heart
to my lot
the next bend in the road
is always blind
And that's all I and
the whole world have got
Considering how I feel
about the state of things
why argue: almost
any change is fine
and opening my heart to
how's the only thing
in the whole universe
that can make the moment mine

what

2.2842 : 02/12/13 : Pleases

I can't think
right now of what pleases
focus on what is to hand
pray the lock releases
can't be more
off the reservation
than the last five years
and if you
want me for creation
well baby
here's my ears

what

2.2841 : 02/11/13 : Vibe

I asked for good vibes
but this one inside is nasty
wanting to lash out
while every day gets past me
I seek I seek out
wherever is my Good Vibe
oh for a labeled bottle
instructing me to imbibe

what

2.2840 : 02/10/13 : Hiding

What am I hiding from
in this indecision thicket
Why am I so terrified
to say okay and pick it
but is it really fear
it's something else, evasion
not like this about everything
why does this feel like invasion
what am I hiding from
is it feeling normal, boring
the chances lost forever
something deeper I'm ignoring
check heaven's lost and found
for a clue where my bliss is at
not sure it's real but I know
for sure it's not this or that

what

2.2839 : 02/09/13 : Promise

Promise it's the last
off hand
off the cuff repast
I'll make it a lie
by and by
but that's the way of flesh
the way we always
hit refresh

what

2.2838 : 02/08/13 : Let It Go

I said that I would
let it go
but suddenly I
said well, no
Nothing fucking matters
and that's so rad
because there's no consequence
for doing it bad

what

2.2837 : 02/07/13 : Ode to the Poetry Magnets I Found Under the Fridge

To eat -
or
Are to tree

what

2.2836 : 02/06/13 : Chipping

How long can I
get away with
chipping in this
sorry way?
See no real
reason I can't
just repeat it
every day
better than
the speaking of
What's been said
and said and said
better than
to reveal
what is whirling
round in my head

what

2.2835 : 02/05/13 : Telephone

Put my finger into
the dictionary
put my finger into the good book
in the age of the intelligent telephone
It's anachronistic but let's take a look
I could roll up for
the twenty two volumes
pick any Labor Day you like
feel like it would do as well
as thinking more
feels like I'm lobbing fouls
just dodging that third strike
give me a mission damn it
I have not been called up
I've been waiting by the telephone
I read it's just another
symptom of the syndrome
but I want to hear it straight
from you alone

what

2.2834 : 02/04/13 : No Answers

Maybe there are no answers
Maybe that's the core of everything
Maybe answer is a misnomer
Maybe there's just the bell and the ring
Maybe truly nobody has got it
Maybe everybody is a fake
Maybe there's nothing wrong with it
Maybe nothing is at stake

what

2.2833 : 02/03/13 : Play

too dull
not enough play
bad paradigm
but I don't know the way
to break it
and remake it
if that's even the model
and cannot tell
the axle
from the throttle

what

2.2832 : 02/02/13 : Minutes

What was that thing you said
about minutes
and revisions
past getting all worked up
over century-old visions
but I thought that I was
onto something
out of my own long ago
and fit for 2020 thoughts
though where I'l be then
I don't know

what

2.2831 : 02/01/13 : Produce

If one is too bitter to produce
and if one can't get past
oh what's the use
When can I stop
When can I stop
waiting for the drop
put away
every childish thing
that tune plucked out upon
an slack old string
when can I stop
when can I halt
I already said it was all my fault

what
