2.3649 : 4/30/15 : Quit (Endless Axis 382/500)

Oh to cease

oh to quit

oh for the drift

cast loose of it

oh for the all of it

never lasting

surely I'll be clean

and combed for my fasting

oh for the list

long as my damn arm

of good intentions

unintended harms

and oh to be rid

of this unceasing drive

oh to finally arrive

what

2.3648 : 4/29/15 : Prospects (Endless Axis 381/500)

He prospects

follows many streams

the weight the color

of it

haunts his dreams

seeking seeking

to tap a vein

how long how long

his tired refrain

need better

prospecting

need a map

most days old man

needs a nap

and some tiny space

to pursue a craft

and a sunny claim

to sink a deep shaft

what

2.3647 : 4/28/15 : One Day Express (Endless Axis 380/500)

Before the rest gets

dragged across

mixed to grey

I guess I better get

on board the one day

express no duress

push on despite the press

what will it be

for what shall I pray

Lost some well

more lost more

and if there's no reply

When I beg after what it's for

Still, still here guess I better steer

maybe the teacher does not appear

maybe I fight my lore

way to my own core

what

2.3646 : 4/27/15 : Reads Right (Endless Axis 379/500)

Doing what

reads right

but feels wrong

really what

feels right

to sleep long

to retreat

to stand down

a confession?

a rough start

there's my part

one impression

what

2.3645 : 4/26/15 : Big Con (Endless Axis 378/500)

Have I been

staring in

the mirror

practicing the Big Con

did I forget

did I let

that shady

double lead me on

I better jam

he's on the lam

now hiding

around some corner

just been the prey

digging all the way

must have been

the underground suborner

what

2.3644 : 4/25/15 : Gala (Endless Axis 377/500)

All life's a gala

wealth all ubiquitous

don't blame the cornucopia

of the distribution's iniquitous

don't blame the aristos

they're just bars of silt

can you blame the river

I'd play that one to the hilt

but the problem sits before this page

and the problem wields his pen with rage

but rhetoric will never solve

and history is no line

nor does it revolve

what

2.3643 : 4/24/15 : Eraser (Endless Axis 376/500)

Rub out the good

with the bad

mighty eraser

I'll hand it over glad

pal I need a chaser

to wash out the taste

of what I erased

Once was a mark

now a lovely blank page

a whole new book

ain't it a whole new age

ain't it everything but

a real clean slate oh so what

what

2.3642 : 4/23/15 : Splice (Endless Axis 375/500)

Give me the splice

I'm going to short this circuit

overthinking

the call and how

I shirk it

I dare you to

ask me

just what's hard

I dare you

to pick a card

what

2.3641 : 4/22/15 : Creature (Endless Axis 374/500)

If I am a creature

of the prior age

that shrinking century

still strikes up many a page

will the legend hold up

well mine never launched

Should believe it lucky

the famous

15 minute wound staunched

what

2.3640 : 4/21/15 : Honor (Endless Axis 373/500)

On my honor

I haven't cracked yet

I am not planning to

and the logic of logic

cuts both ways

I'm not calling down fire

I'm not taunting you

despite my errant thoughts

my nervous tics

I can still boogie

with the heretics

and sneer through high tea

with the illuminati

lo and behold

my honor's still not spotty

what

2.3639 : 4/20/15 : Rent (Endless Axis 372/500)

Bad feelings got a pantheon

fear frustration envy on and on

What would it meant to rise above

Or to believe in living solely on love

Surely the evil range and roam about

surely the devil chose this age to flout

What could it mean to live in full peace

wake at last to sweet release

put to my hand the instrument

raise up at last the curtain rent

And to my eyes a vision glorious

bad feelings vanquished, joy victorious

what

2.3638 : 4/19/15 : With None (Endless Axis 371/500)

Rise upon rise

where is my downhill

can't help but feel I'm due a coast

but I don't think I will

On the many who would

pay for my woes

or those with none

now I think of those

and rise upon rise

and nothing like release

and despite a maze of contradictions

these problems are all of a piece

what

2.3637 : 4/18/15 : Wreath (Endless Axis 370/500)

Wreaths continue dropping

guess they will for a while

and the seasons will keep turning

Churning out mile upon mile

continue on my own road

knowing less than ever

to think I once had things worked out

to think I once was clever

what

2.3636 : 4/17/15 : Foolish (Endless Axis 369/500)

Another cold stone

dropped falls

to the bottom of my heart

Again again

it seems impossible to start

Where do you take them

every bright spark

why do you leave us

So much dark

how am I supposed to

write back into light

am I still expected

to be putting up a fight

I listen listen

for a hint you're somewhere

many think I'm foolish

it's a thought I mostly share

what

2.3635 : 4/16/15 : Measure Up (Endless Axis 368/500)

What now I have to

measure up to

mister yesterday

Guess what?

I'm tired now

and not a thing to say

and so far behind

on a whole lot

and that's the

wrap up

that's all I got

what

2.3634 : 4/15/15 : Do Not Dare (Endless Axis 367/500)

Do not dare me to

justify you

Your very principle requires

I rail and defy you

someday standing at

that bright city gate

I'm laying in I will not hesitate

before I ask after any friend or Pop

I am demanding some answers

for everything you didn't stop

big man big talk

probably get the whirlwind trip

too scared of all that could be taken

to risk a further quip

I just wish I I knew

I wish I had some clean power

maybe I failed in every small thing

right up to this very hour

what

2.3633 : 4/14/15 : The Tax (Endless Axis 366/500)

Why not get blunt

with my metaphors:

the tax

the lash that hovers over

the dangling sword

if I dare to relax

my grip

even an instant

So perilous this flight

Unblinking

scarcely rested

long crawl

across a long

and trackless night

what

2.3632 : 4/13/15 : Service (Endless Axis 365/500)

Pressed into service

from troubled sleep

trying to grasp another rhythm

I could not keep

drumming my fingers

tapping my toes

wondering whatever

transcends mere prose

What was the mission?

relentless sunshine

clutching or pining

for a manner just not mine

not to question if it's worth it

nor if it pays

hold those queries silent

for later days

what

2.3631 : 4/12/15 : Rapid (Endless Axis 364/500)

Behold the rapid prototype

revealed when 

the moment's ripe

torn off as from

a mighty roll

and me with every upright pose

all to conceal the toll

what

2.3630 : 4/11/15 : Dismount (Endless Axis 363/500)

Can I execute this dismount

in a hard six

time and how it

gets up to its

old trick

and an old dog like me

Somehow stands a chance

everyone is going

to have to learn this new dance

what

2.3629 : 4/10/15 : Grace (Endless Axis 362/500)

I need grace

getting shouted

at all my corners

I've heard

the laments

of many mourners

I cast not 1

even this day

and even so for

every grace I pray

what

2.3628 : 4/9/15 : Exercise (Endless Axis 361/500)

What if I don't want to exercise

this thing of mine

anymore

this regular

this typical

What if I ain't got

nothing more

it's coming down now

that old existential dread

and I got only

one way left

to get out of my head

what

2.3627 : 4/8/15 : Stone, Bloody (Endless Axis 360/500)

Left with a squeezed stone,

bloody hand

guess which came

from what

and now you

understand

but I need my friends

and I need to believe

that in all I've given

I still may yet receive

what

2.3626 : 4/7/15 : Factory (Endless Axis 359/500)

I shoulda stuck it out I guess

at the factory

Smell of popcorn and potatoes

in that lens refractory

I might have seen a clue

At least for sure have saved more bread

What other weak dim lapses

come off the top of my head

a second shift I blew off

when still young enough to hack it

many precipitous leavings

anyway you want to stack it

guess the only moral standing

is stick to the grind

and pray for a thunderbolt

as time passes out of mind

what

2.3625 : 4/6/15 : Ready (Endless Axis 358/500)

If this is the middle

if the game is on

if my great work is looming

after oh so long

Am I ready

whoa, as I'll ever be

can't stop wondering what

strange call could mean a thing to me

this cycle's well tuned

no point calling this transitional

So what if the signal

got hung up in transmission hell

we're going to have to

make it up as we go along

tell ourselves we're ready

and stoked to hear the game is on

what

2.3624 : 4/5/15 : A Line (Endless Axis 357/500)

Who is trying to

convince who of what

always two or three

choices to you: but

I see thousands

dividing every minute

show me the slightest way

I'm terrified to begin it

So maybe you've

got the bright idea

unsophisticated

but might yet just free ya

maybe this tale

is turning out just fine

maybe somewhere

something's more than just a line

what

2.3623 : 4/4/15 : Parliament (Endless Axis 356/500)

You heard about the

parliament of birds

the sole antidote

for the fact of the herds

milling into the

next great extinction

an act of parliament

and the aforementioned intinction

create some sort of super metaman

create an unwritten

unknown master plan

that's my dream anyway

signed sealed and sent

delivered via finest messenger

to this dream parliament

what

2.3622 : 4/3/15 : Tincture (Endless Axis 355/500)

This tincture

this patent specific

a little bit of everything

So hey I feel

terrific

I can't even hang around

I got to go go go

I could tell you

an old story about that

but I'm thinking

no

what

2.3621 : 4/2/15 : Stumble (Endless Axis 354/500)

Stumble overdue

but no time for falling

can't think about the big picture

just too appalling

and I've got my little patch

to keep spruce

gotta stay like water

or so said Bruce

Now in the light

Must work while I may

So hey today

today today

what

2.3620 : 4/1/15 : Zapped (Endless Axis 353/500)

So zapped as

to be gobstopped

not like it's some

brave truth I copped

Whatever it might be

I turn my back on it

Put off to the You

Sure in time I'll hack your shit

what
