2.3741 : 7/31/15 : Spike (Endless Axis 474/500)

Last spike
here on either
wrap it up
or hook
up the mic
throw a few
down
get large
hoist the spike
yeah
take charge

2.3740 : 7/30/15 : Sketch (Endless Axis 473/500)

About the minute
we lose the plot
forget to give
what was assumed
we got
this situation
eh it's been worse
at least I finally
bought off that curse
if I could take a minute
20 times a day
get inside the issue
maybe come what may
the next minute
wouldn't be such a stretch
and the general prospect
wouldn't be so sketch

2.3739 : 7/29/15 : The Obvious (Endless Axis 472/500)

Let every single thing
Slack but this
thrilled up ten thousand
seconds got shot with bliss
and got it right forever
for an instant just one time
and didn't even finish
the obvious

2.3738 : 7/28/15 : Zero and Force (Endless Axis 471/500)

Inertia to zero
and force consequent
in a second
with a sharp
consonant
and a gut whuff
deep hollowing
did I ever tell you
how I got my following?
every time I open
my palm fate silvers it
Every time I pick up
bad luck
time pilfers it
so at the hard
stop I
took a deep breath
said
love, love, lover
Love is
Strong as death

2.3737 : 7/27/15 : Loop (Endless Axis 470/500)

far too many
times the loop
no serious
bid to fly the coop
and I offer no light
no not any
and how many more nights?
far too many

2.3736 : 7/26/15 : The Worst (Endless Axis 469/500)

The worst is coming
I'm sure of it
How'm I really expected
to give a shit
to get it down
transcribe repost
Maybe yet still to come
the best the most

2.3735 : 7/25/15 : Dumb Boy Thrash (Endless Axis 468/500)

Ready for nothing
unchanged
nothing but deck chairs
rearranged
spin out
blow out
pass out
crash
spun boy
hung boy
dumb boy
thrash

2.3734 : 7/24/15 : The Pricks (Endless Axis 467/500)

Far past parables
the hammer and the axe
whatever's falling
guess even gravity slacks
however tossed that bed of tacks
always one that sticks
and I'm too tired now
to kick against the pricks
guess I was going to write
500 cheerful songs
Did I tell you cats the one
about clanging gongs
did I tell you the one
about the solipsistic trap
or the hundred pound barrel
and about two fifty of crap
however tossed that bed of tacks
always one that sticks
and I'm too tired now
to kick against the pricks

2.3733 : 7/23/15 : Trio (Endless Axis 466/500)

Trio of afterthought
trio of error
wouldn't you like to hear
my own small trilogy of terror
Scarcely think now
of my own flesh
but I worry at these eons
and how fine they thresh

what

2.3732 : 7/22/15 : Hey Hell (No Title) (Endless Axis 465/500)

Oh right
hey hell
one more night
no title
no business
maybe a little
bit of fife and
thrust
and all we
ever implied
girl I
ain't
tongue tied

2.3731 : 7/21/15 : Held (Endless Axis 464/500)

A plate held
with a scrap of notions
pine to dream
of the slap of oceans
soon to see
how comes to it
Sure I'll be
all thumbs through it

what

Wednesday, July 20, 2022

2.3730 : 7/20/15 : Careless Wishes (Endless Axis 463/500)

Careless wishes
for silence, control
for a trajectory
to be on a roll
for one less task
for one more day
careless talk
and not a thing to say

what

2.3729 : 7/19/15 : Another World (Endless Axis 462/500)

Another world
could I find my heart
and move right in
and really start
broadcast straight
at you from there
and would anyone hear
and would anyone care
I don't look back
with envy or regret
every year still feels
could be the best yet
and potential it is
stashed and curled
all ready to discover
in another world

2.3728 : 7/18/15 : Weather (Endless Axis 461/500)

As the weather
gets weirder
ignore it like anything
anyway you've got
to life life
and you can't change
what's happening
up in my mental space
the weather cycles
calm and rough
I'm contemplating
what I can't spare
and what's enough
I'm contemplate
weather now and soon
and in and out
my mind is brewing up
and soon enough, the waterspout

2.3727 : 7/17/15 : Peers (Endless Axis 460/500)

Here to check
the peers
how you like my humor
kick back relax
stay in the room or
get out
as always one
on the other side
of the fence
of that line
of the whole ride

2.3726 : 7/16/15 : Stretched (Endless Axis 459/500)

Stretched too far
at long last
I'm losing it
getting
deep and vast
shadow on the water
how'd it work out again?
and the membrane is
grown very thin

what

2.3725 : 7/15/15 : Wish (Endless Axis 458/500)

Maybe
the expression should be
don't be too careful
what you wish for
dream a little bigger
can't hurt
do you figure
might all find
that we could get more
can't make time
and sure there's no
new rhymes
but we might get a fresh idea
give a shout
the truth will have out
you might well wish
that it might free ya

2.3724 : 7/14/15 : Present (Endless Axis 457/500)

Present the artist
at the end of a long line
present the artist's
journey the extent of an incline
and if the artist can't
keep up with the presentation
leave the artist stranded
flip another station

2.3723 : 7/13/15 : Boxes (Endless Axis 456/500)

Just filling boxes
with numbers here
nothing ever really
does appear
And I like a rapid strike
flash bang gong
40 less things yet
to not get wrong

what

Tuesday, July 12, 2022

2.3722 : 7/12/15 : Weird Fears (Endless Axis 455/500)

Weird transgressions
and weird fears
the student is long gone
and nobody appears
I think about a little tiny
indiscretion
I swear it's so slight
seems absurd to mention
how long since I
last blew the big vice
forgotten the when
forgotten the how
Suiting me just fine
make way for all right now

2.3721 : 7/11/15 : Forget Get (Endless Axis 454/500)

Technically again
forgot to pull the pin
Or is it the other way
Keep forget get in
a little local light show
past midnight
facing five hours
hell I'm so not right
Feeling regret
Scratch at my side door
all things considered
What the hell is it for
Guess I better find
new ways to cope
I guess I wish I knew
who handed me all this rope

2.3720 : 7/10/15 : Coalesce (Endless Axis 453/500)

Diamond focus
the only antidote
in these times
to prevalent despair
against frankly
the eco-crimes
talk to me
about the worse
worst case
many things lost
we never
shall replace
Diamond focus
to not to
quiet acquiesce
a crazy confidence
a brand new key
will coalesce
not held in
any single
hand or mind
stand back as
Some bright million
pierce the rind

what

2.3719 : 7/9/15 : Twisty (Endless Axis 452/500)

How twisty can it get
hey take a look at me now
if they could read this misformed mind
They'd throw the book at me now
they'll never figure it out
it's what I'm always laughing about
Always jump in with no clue how to wrap up
Should work out great if you need someone to slap up
Keep trying to look ahead
on these twisting roads
One day I'll cave these maze walls in
unleash just blistering loads

2.3718 : 7/8/15 : Inkling (III) (Endless Axis 451/500)

Called out someone's weakness
I laugh immune
stroll up with celestial banjo
keep it crunchy, picayune
my mentors of an older school
I wish I'd wondered harder then
lone inkling's all I'm left with
stop and call it back from ten

what

Thursday, July 07, 2022

2.3717 : 7/7/15 : Inkling (II) (Endless Axis 450/500)

Little inkling
ragged scrap of script
Stingy revelation from
my spent pen dripped
no time to polish
no time for lick and spit
solely time to throw the dice
so make what you will of it

what

Wednesday, July 06, 2022

2.3716 : 7/6/15 : Inkling (I) (Endless Axis 449/500)

Claimed it a sad precedent once
back when I was a pollyanna dunce
back when I was a moralist
flash forward ten tons of grist
Now under smoky stars twinkling
despite my errors I have an inkling
And closing in on twenty years long
I grasp in hand just that that's wrong

what

Tuesday, July 05, 2022

2.3715 : 7/5/15 : Pith (Endless Axis 448/500)

Squeezed the juice all
now I'm left with pith
see the fountainhead
Pack a hand to take you with
wanted more substance
more fiber: more pith
not exactly heaven calling
but I'm confirmed
that that's a myth

what

Monday, July 04, 2022

2.3714 : 7/4/15 : Racket (Endless Axis 447/500)

Someone ought to declare
interdependence day
Because we're crashing
a lot of things
And there simply is no way
One flag one strategy
One zeitgeist is going to hack it
and today anyway
I'm going to pretend
I'll see a new thing rise
from inside my new racket

2.3713 : 7/3/15 : Toff (Endless Axis 446/500)

Rise early leave
the messageman off
Take your instructions
from another sort of toff
I'll be a sort of servant
to a sort of aristocracy
anything to opt out
of this present bureaucracy
Hi ho the messageman
surely already employed
by another more toff than I
and I don't lie, I'm overjoyed
no half measure this
I'm locking down the count
and three days time will note
to what my launch may yet amount

2.3712 : 7/2/15 : On the Spectrum (Endless Axis 445/500)

On the spectrum of
what you've got to work with
I'm in no place to complain
Keep focus on
the sunny thought
a straight track a short train
I could extend it
to all the earth
We ought to pull up our slouch
What would it
really take these days
to eject us off the couch

what

Friday, July 01, 2022

2.3711 : 7/1/15 : Fullness (Endless Axis 444/500)

Holding to fullness
typical scene
try to come out
of an interim clean
guess I used to dream
about a clean break
over the hump
call it a piece of cake
