2.3406 : 8/30/14 : Chunk (Endless Axis 139/500)

It was you
that told me of the bleeding chunk
It was you
that showed me of the muse called monk
And you're still in this thing
not thrilled
but such is life
the routine unfinished
business
Such as with which
this bloody joint is rife
tried to do it every day
I do it none
Getting by with nobody
my myself
one
Another bloody chunk
pass just one test
I put the period on it
toss it up on
with the rest

2.3405 : 8/29/14 : Halt (Endless Axis 138/500)

So hey still tripping
traipsing along the track
still wishing still hoping
Still planning
Still adding to the stack
Still careful what I'm
wishing for
maybe too much
to a fault
You got to keep it in perspective
Someday
all things come to their halt
And that's not bad news
no I'm not scared sir
nothing's perfect
there's no guarantees
but then I never asked
to be spared sir
You asked after an update
I've been better and worse
seems I'm always dreaming
a stage with no time to rehearse
but I won't be complaining
I won't raise a fist
As long as the halt's not been called
and I've got a very long list

2.3404 : 8/28/14 : Uncouth (Endless Axis 137/500)

Wait in the silence
listen very hard
for a sound of soft calling
or a turning of a card
believe the pain has purpose
the package is complete
a little more rest
then an hour of planning
then I'm back on my feet
I cast the die
like Caesar in the breach
cast off the fear that
maybe I can neither do nor teach
there in the silence
I'll ask only what truth is
turn my own card once more
get on with this uncouth biz

2.3403 : 8/27/14 : A Holograph (Endless Axis 136/500)

Another day
no small promise
no guarantee
no, no day
comes from us
they just appear
some saying
it's all a holograph
what that could mean's
not clear
to me so I
guess I'll close
the paragraph

2.3402 : 8/26/14 : Half Day (Endless Axis 135/500)

Make this half day
where this path diverges
where such ungodly
harrowed splitting merges
seeing in the fever dream
three decades maybe more
let this escape plan be in store
seek the vibration
that will activate
the passageway the lights
it's not too late
count out minutes
to make an about face
this wealth superabundant's
cluttered up this space
I find the third treasure
its case lined with cork
this thing that holds the aspect
of a tuning fork
mark here my branching
here to drive the spike
grasp the thing lightly
then a firm clean strike

2.3401 : 8/25/14 : Trio (Endless Axis 134/500)

The trio
of a decade
had been released
spared a platitude
of an era
deceased
found a deck
of images
few and brief
Proof
time's always flowing
whatever your belief

2.3400 : 8/24/14 : Soft Hammer (Endless Axis 133/500)

I extend the
halt because
the soft hammer
is coming down
hey maybe next time
maybe I'm due
for some luck
in this town

what

Monday, August 23, 2021

2.3399 : 8/23/14 : Write Off (Endless Axis 132/500)

Thankfully
a write-off
is due
another day
I'll bite off
and chew
Another day
no lie
it's a feat
the write-off I
should imply
is no defeat

what

Sunday, August 22, 2021

2.3398 : 8/22/14 : Hold It (Endless Axis 131/500)

Hold it inside
like a treasure
surely flower
beyond measure
bite it off
like the sweetest treat
Surely the work
of transformation
will be
complete

2.3397 : 8/21/14 : Delay (Endless Axis 130/500)

Delay the master class
to accelerate the learning
that all things pass
even this humantide
this run-up age
something post-primate
will turn the page
Still sadly hung up
on dominance
still bad at dealing
with governance
but I confidently foresee
and it makes me feel great
We either gotta rise above it
or else deep time
will wipe our slate

2.3396 : 8/20/14 : Hits (Endless Axis 129/500)

The clockwork got buried
in a ten thousand year hole
It's time I lost all track of it
inside the surge to goal
and revelation comes not whole
but in bright shards and bits
but I hoard up all these pieces
and you'll know when my version hits

2.3395 : 8/19/14 : I Can Work With This (Endless Axis 128/500)

I can work with this
because I'm so gosh darn resourceful
always positive
never ashamed or remorseful
surrounded by bright sides
and surprise rainbows
bursting with joy
and my ecstatic brain glows
my what a pile
sure a shower of bliss
why don't apologize
I can surely work with this

2.3394 : 8/18/14 : Consequence (Endless Axis 127/500)

This fear
anticipation of consequence
of one sure outcome
in a world that seems
to make so little sense
but hey
big question mark
you're not here
and there's a day to occupy
so it would appear
I hanker for a miracle
not afraid to admit
I wouldn't call it
expectation
wishful thinking
is the least of it
but this overwhelming
sense of a work undone
and still the feeling
that round a corner
a new thing will be begun

2.3393 : 8/17/14 : Dry Spell (Endless Axis 126/500)

When you see
what I've stacked
in the vault
You won't fault
me anymore
for the dry spell
If you knew
How I came
through everyday
you would say
nobody could do more
I'm going to
get a little  loose
get my flow
maybe throw
down and
raise a little hell
the vault fills
I make a point
of never feeling
anything's enough
It's not a bluff
I've got the deep stuff

2.3392 : 8/16/14 : Make Luck (Endless Axis 125/500)

I'm making the pessimistic list
I'm going to make luck
I'm leaving no stone unturned
I'll give that stone's throw a quick duck
May not know how just yet
Still in free fall a while
but when I see my move
believe I'll bust it out with style
Many are called
but few even dare pick up
You will be mystified
when I work my next trick up
the luck I make this time
will be built for three decades
And you will see its banner long
after this day's fame fades

2.3391 : 8/15/14 : Down (Endless Axis 124/500)

Down and out
but not for the count
quite yet
We're all in line
can't sit out
have to bet
not much left
to throw down
and then what
you'll see I'm
still in the game
I'll get my cut

2.3390 : 8/14/14 : Econo (Endless Axis 123/500)

No excuse I know
not to wind up
not to throw
No idea of a target
the ghost says so?
you can go real slow
and you can jam Econo

2.3389 : 8/13/14 : Serene (Endless Axis 122/500)

Become serene again
this setback
does not mean an end
And for the ones
I couldn't assist
What is refused
I can't insist
not everything
works out okay?
Even if you write
a smile for every day
though each tomorrow's
sight unseen
must meet the night
emptied, serene

2.3388 : 8/12/14 : Planet Gumption Theme Song (Endless Axis 121/500)

Have you heard about my world? Well you're gonna
Well hey I could try to dial it down but I'm afraid I'm still bound to stun ya
Your world's got swagger your world's got dope
Your world's got you mostly on the slippery slope
And a mean inclination to keep paying out rope
Planet Gumption take me on a trip to trip city
Everything's cool and fly everything's pretty
Nothing like your home crew tower to the dome crew
Riding rails raising sails sipping on a home brew
To defy their every assumption
I ain't rich babe I got gumption
See see your sunrise fly through the raster rays
get with the good guys we've got bling and XP for days
There's lots of room and there's lots to see
Since I got gumption there's just nowhere else I got to be
Planet Gumption take me on a trip to trip city
Everything's cool and fly everything's pretty
Nothing like your home crew tower to the dome crew
Riding rails raising sails sipping on a home brew
To defy their every assumption
I ain't rich babe I got gumption

2.3387 : 8/11/14 : Thorn (Endless Axis 120/500)

Trust in this thorn
this affliction
and its virtue
though to be sure
what doesn't kill you
can sure as hell
still hurt you
But you might figure out
whether you love
the hill or the stone
It's not my sunniest thought
but Jesus thrown me a bone
The mysteries
of what works
and what fails
Still out in the forest
hard at work
with my sap pails
how the hell do you get
worse
having gotten what you want
But I know I'll never
pull this thorn
except that I come in
hard and blunt

2.3386 : 8/10/14 : Clouds With Sun (Endless Axis 119/500)

Seems there's always
clouds with sun
a little rain
Shouldn't bother anyone
Hello blue sky
hello new day
its's a trick to believe it will be
different but I will anyway
Oh it must all come
to some conclusion
but I'll just enjoy the clouds
I'll just enjoy the sun

2.3385 : 8/9/14 : Fast (Endless Axis 118/500)

I really want
to break this fast
I really hope
the effect
will last
try to believe
like the ship's
already here
try to believe
like it's all
already clear

what

2.3384 : 8/8/14 : Passage (Endless Axis 117/500)

I've paid for this passage
in five kinds of coin
In the interest of the club
I couldn't be paid to join
will it take 3 days
maybe five
I suspect I'll come through anyway
make it out alive
grant me passage
and after an audience
I tried to tell you so many times
I just could not make sense
but with this passing
I know I'll find myself anew
will you be along
will I then see you?

2.3383 : 8/7/14 : Broom (Endless Axis 116/500)

Give unto me to push a broom
Give unto me to sweep the tomb
When I am given love supreme
Give unto me the deeper dream
How many times said I need a plan
Who is the teacher, is it a man
Is it a woman is it anyone
Can I be told if it's begun
With broom in hand I'll seek my work
Know I'll transcend this present murk
forgive me but yes, comes the clean sweep
a price that's swift, and not too steep

2.3382 : 8/6/14 : Requiem (Endless Axis 115/500)

Anhedonic nihilistic
requiem atrocious
such a fate reserved for these
the dismal borne
precocious
I shine a light
Still lives the blight
but I must carry on
and that's my song
And what I hurl at the empyrean
Well in the Axis' name
maybe I must by rights
mount a stouter offense
to the fading of all lights
find me in a quiet place
a lonely place away
I'll feed 15 billion there
afer I preach all day

2.3381 : 8/5/14 : True Forgotten (Endless Axis 114/500)

The true forgotten
what was that date again
seems there was an occasion
fell for my own persuasion
recall there was an aftermath
poor psyche it was a blood bath
blood metaphor hello old friend
you'll do for me real in the end
but today I'm full of joy
forgetting makes me a sharp boy
I hope I never do recall
I hope that I forget it all

2.3380 : 8/4/14 : Hate Surge (Endless Axis 113/500)

I get a quick
drive by
by the free floating
hate surge
A good reminder
to screw down
the reaction urge
A good reminder
Count your blessings
You could have
friends like these
Haters want to hate
well we aim to please

2.3379 : 8/3/14 : Drop Out (Endless Axis 112/500)

It can be fine
beautiful
to drop out of the race
as every line
of tension
leaves my face
leaving only
years
tears
smiles
and thinking hard
leaving
of course
the shard
that drop
belongs to You
that one I trust
you'll see through

2.3378 : 8/2/14 : Pin (Endless Axis 111/500)

The drops
the pricks
a thousand
dull tales of the sticks
a pin in this
a pin in that
always changing
at the drop
of a hat
maybe this
quick change routine
will pay a dividend
maybe I'll be able
to pin this one down
in the end

2.3377 : 8/1/14 : Here and Now (Endless Axis 110/500)

How long can you keep this up?
How long you got?
How full did you fill that cup?
I filled it up a lot
Do you really think that
you're going to make it clear
I'm already there pal
I wish that you were here
because there's nowhere
because there's nowhere
like here and now
you too can go there
here and now
You're so smart so what's next
I just open my hand
for once there is no subtext
It's really just grand
being me and you too
nothing lacking
pure heart and aim true
and it's all stacking

what

2.336 : 7/31/14 : In Joining (Endless Axis 109/500)

Enthusiastic
Immediate
Vocal
Affirmative
I'm greedy, it
Is just
what I
require
in joining
the flame
heart of this
new style I'm coining

what

2.3375 : 7/30/14 : Hidden (Endless Axis 108/500)

Hidden again
but I know it's there
I hear you guessing
Searching everywhere
Dreaming awake
of a great price
I tell you true
it leads to paradise
But you won't find the
hiding place
it's staring right
into your face
But you just can't
think wild enough
look at you uptight
riled and rough
I won't give it
away with a glance of eyes
not trying to hoard it
I just want it to
be a surprise
and when you see it
oh the look on your face
really I can't wait
to open up the hiding place
