2.3530 : 1/1/15 : Killing It (Endless Axis 263/500)

Not sure about

the precedent

Still dodged

the gloomiest revenant

and tried

and learned a little bit

too late

and not exactly killing it

but but

oh hey drop that refrain

for up and up

and I'll be back again

what

2.3529 : 12/31/14 : Stakes (Endless Axis 262/500)

OK well

figure out what's at stake

better deliver

because the new alternative

Sure feels like a fake

that leaves me craving

the old real taste

that leaves me hating

this old postwar paste

what

2.3528 : 12/30/14 : Bar (Endless Axis 261/500)

Never fall in love

with a bar as it drops lower

One day I will prove

I am a doer

not a shower

And I'll prove myself

worthy in the small things

ring that bell

and earn my wings

what

2.3527 : 12/29/14 : Sacrifice (Endless Axis 260/500)

Is all fear of time

fear of regret

is all fear that

this is all we get

remembered joy

it comes with a price

and there is no true life

without sacrifice

what

2.3526 : 12/28/14 : Thick (Endless Axis 259/500)

This pea soup

is thick getting thicker

I could go on and on

but I'd rather be quicker

rather call

the whole thing a wrap

Sounds worse than I mean

but anyway tip my cap

what

2.3525 : 12/27/14 : Luxo (Endless Axis 258/500)

Throw down

the ascetic act

I'm coming on

with the luxo pact

no apologies

because it ain't like that

I just really like the look

of a monocle

and top hat

I heard a thing about the lizard gang

some have to spoil

well some have to bang

Well I'm above it

I'm just so refined

the punters say it's looking

like a crash but never mind

what

2.3524 : 12/26/14 : Double Y (Endless Axis 257/500)

Tear up plans

a through double y

don't need to scrap

or beg when I'm such a cool guy

from now on first class

goodbye to inner conflict

Sure I deserve the very best

this late stage mayhem can inflict

Because plan double z

is gonna open eyes wide around every block

because I got a dirty need

to make everybody feel my culture shock

because plan double y was to live not to die

long enough for the fire to burn

well past the point of control or return

what

2.3523 : 12/25/14 : Adamant (Endless Axis 256/500)

I can only

throw up barriers

they all seem

to get crossed

struggle to believe

I've rolled with

every trash hand

I've been tossed

Sure I'll muddle through

end up somewhere

only adamant

conclusion

Come what may

won't cease to care

what

2.3522 : 12/2414 : Peace on Earth (Endless Axis 255/500)

There is no peace on earth

I said

And then what came:

was silence, dead

And what will launch my

odyssey

A fat book

of theodicy

then couldn't scrape up

another line

eyes only for

the deep incline

and hold my breath

till down is up

now give me peace

or dash this cup

what

2.3521 : 12/23/14 : The Piece on Earth (Endless Axis 254/500)

Treasure ten

this cloudy shard

the piece on earth

why's it so hard

to get along

to make

common ground

the piece on earth

once lost

now found

we dream of other

parts it fits

We suffer visions

how it all went splits

What happens

when I hold it thus

close my eyes

now this thing gets serious

what

2.3520 : 12/22/14 : Of Necessity (Endless Axis 253/500)

I take a

strong dose of necessity

Wish I would get

what you're trying to get

through to me

The only one thing

clear

I've got to work it right out

down here

Grant me to shake off

and I swear I will break off

This dim long plunge

into complexity

what

2.3519 : 12/21/14 : Sauce (Endless Axis 252/500)

Been cooking 24 years

have I been gathering moss

right up until today

I forgot all about the sauce

Oh my so rich

oh gift of the stew

not a person alive

I'd share it with but you

I'll visit the stone

Some time this year

can't doubt all I say

the sauce well it isn't here

what

2.3518 : 12/20/14 : The Greater Peace (Endless Axis 251/500)

Wouldn't that be just the thing

but refuse it

grasp the notion

fling

the very thought

or chance of it away

And now in a little silent

place I pray

Grant to me the greater peace

in this season

Gift, release

Uplift and hold me

carry me through

till I'm ready to listen to you

what

2.3517 : 12/19/14 : Hold This Fire (Endless Axis 250/500)

I blew a hundred shots

to feed your complacency

look at you all

Sleeping and it's plain to see

from me you're not expecting much

Well if I ever had the golden touch

I sure don't have it now

Someone mutter mediocrity

Almost feel sorry

in our awesome meritocracy

No need to waste time

wondering why I'm smiling

no need to sidetrack

or look at what I'm piling

up around your feet

or how I'm spiking every beat

or when I came to

hold this fire in my hand

What's that noise

relax

it's only shifting sand

what

2.3516 : 12/18/14 : Bad Atlas (Endless Axis 249/500)

The only way to break out

if it's only for a day

And laughing as nobody

hears a single thing I say

I've been letting down the axis

a bad Atlas shrugging off his load

after all it was just a nice thought

and such things will erode

maybe we're standing on

the shoulders of the weak and small

maybe the giants are

the ones who need us groundlings most of all

and none of them will matter much

if we run it all aground

so I will learn a cheerful tune

to whistle while I'm dropping every sound

what

2.3515 : 12/17/14 : Trivial (Endless Axis 248/500)

World's being heavy on me

I'd rather be trivial

You say it's privilege

true that but I'm convivial

I'll come out swinging

if I can just pull myself upright

and end this self-destruction

this long this trackless night

what

2.3514 : 12/16/14 : Turning (Endless Axis 247/500)

Here turning turn turn

Whose heart through worming

burn burn

turn away

turn back

another day

another dollar stack

Here I stake it

rap rap

Admit I used to fake it

but now I'll tap

a vein of sap

I laid damn deep

and whatever went before

You may keep

what

2.3513 : 12/15/14 : Join Them (Endless Axis 246/500)

The million mes

Billions? Maybe

some degree

of infinity

and the fractures

have been cracking me up

the fighting

regrets

and I'm no young pup

I'm not beaten

but anyway

got to join them

and brilliant

new sayings

we'll coin them

what

2.3512 : 12/14/14 : Beaten (Endless Axis 245/500)

Feelin 'em

beaten them

odds but

likely illusion

and other kinds

out worshiping their

gods in

all their profusion

My secret plan

was to

reproduce old destiny

probably a dream

but once did seem

it was a moment

drew the best in me

what

2.3511 : 12/13/14 : Deuce (Endless Axis 244/500)

Same and same and

no excuse

forget already

really what the deuce

And a little bit of

delineation

a little bit

you call that creation

I already wrote

about every leaf

they're all old leaves now

and how time's still a thief

what

2.3510 : 12/12/14 : Effortless (Endless Axis 243/500)

If I opt again

for the effortless

sometimes it works out

how is just a guess

deep in my gold heart

suspect mine is really all

where my axeman at

where my axeman at

forget it

do not call

right now want a flash

revelation

effortless

right now I want a partisan

right now I want a yes

what

2.3509 : 12/11/14 : Possible (Endless Axis 242/500)

Maybe I'm afraid to

figure out what's possible

Maybe I'm afraid that

I already run that bell

What the hell now, oh man

down this rabbit hole again

at least not this at least not that one

step back hon I'm going in

what

2.3508 : 12/10/14 : Wind and Light (Endless Axis 241/500)

Could we make something

of wind and light

Find a way to make peace

never more to fight

I should say oh yes

So what's the delay for

Oh just one more famine

just one little war

I thought I set out to shout

Up at beauty's high window

tied up in sunlight

racing like the wind blow

oh one more revolution

putting different thugs in charge

one more false economy

small eaten by the large

Maybe I turn my back

today on the whole affair

If I know nature

I'll still find beauty everywhere

light and wind

on the waters and shimmer

to hell with your rhetoric

make do with a trace and glimmer

what

2.3507 : 12/09/14 : With the Thumbs (Endless Axis 240/500)

This interesting class

is suspended but not cancelled

Random Walk University

trying not to get Greteled and Hanseled

I mean left out in the woods

I mean trying to track with crumbs

I mean set up for the oven

Look at this guy with the thumbs

tried to string me up by them

but I would not drop the class

As I'm bound to learn

to be the master

if you'll please forgive

my being crass

what

2.3506 : 12/08/14 : Vessel (Endless Axis 239/500)

So drink the liquor

So drink the tea

behold the vessel

and from want be free

enough and water

enough and broth

hey new horizon

all cut from whole cloth

deliver nine treasures

appears a stoneware cup

thought provides content

magic fills it up

heck could call it silicone

gasoline

another irony

of the post-machine

what

2.3505 : 12/07/14 : The Confusion (Endless Axis 238/500)

Hey wait I think I fell for the

illusion, you know they called me

the confusion and I fell for

the old forest just for a tree

now buried deep is any sense

I should get emotional sure

I could conjure up old highs lows

Words meant to insult and inure

If we live these old slaps over

knock my confused head right on back

Did we learn a thing I think not

the illusion shows not a crack

can't make an excuse anymore

of my confusion be it so

acute painful and burdensome

Might seem unfair well ain't it though?

what

2.3504 : 12/06/14 : Empty Spaces are the Vessels of Use (Endless Axis 237/500)

Whether winding up

or wrapping up

It's beyond me, this small hour

What I'll lay down to

now I'll rise

dream the plain

the gap

the tower

empty spaces are

the vessels of use

maybe I'm afraid

of what I might turn loose

and yet and still

I see the crisis peak

in the empty pause

before I dare to speak

Something wrapping up

something winding down

and still unsure

Whether to play prince or clown

what

2.3503 : 12/05/14 : Flash Point (Endless Axis 236/500)

Point and flash

point and crash

I never knew

the whole story

half sounded

like balderdash

If there were

any plans

they fell apart

and my

subconscious

needs a real

heart to heart

what

2.3502 : 12/04/14 : Ground (Endless Axis 235/500)

Got to

get to ground

rather

not make

a sound

better be

quickly done

Call this

the ground

floor one

what

2.3501 : 12/03/14 : Action (Endless Axis 234/500)

Get action words

get to the point

push it forward

go faster

this day inaugurate

anoint

get what plot is

hallelujah

long last

Taste ultimate

freedom

before another

day's past

what

2.3500 : 12/02/14 : Lost (Endless Axis 233/500)

Find the fear in the impression

nothing's ever lost

true no indiscretion

true no secret cost

the metaphor's a holograph

the whole in every part

you said it looked like paranoia

I said boy don't make me start

in on the lost stuff

you think I don't know

I don't really have it rough

but even so I lost plenty

more to come

You better stop you better give me some

lost the revelation

still here but it's not flashing

anymore it's bargain basement

oh the value's always slashing

because it's minute to minute

and you can't slow down

and rolling through the punchline

is the root of my renown

what

2.3499 : 12/01/14 : The Lesson (Endless Axis 232/500)

Consider the lesson

too simple to dismiss

refuse fear

even of being remiss

the solution

When you're grasping

fearing running out

is to embrace now

and dissolve all doubt

what
