2.3772 : 8/31/15 : Strum Strum Strum

For want of a better plan

for the wish I was a better man

What I proved I could go on and on

but something that was here is gone

or is it just a dip, a clock pendulum

or could I get it back with a little strum, strum, strum

or maybe it was always an illusion

you can imagine my earnest confusion

vague feelings make a bland pie

sick today feel mostly past by

and stubborn enough not to fake a wrap up

One more bitter treat for the crows to snap up

what

2.3771 : 8/30/15 : Many Accusers

This feeling like:

aren't you getting on

with something

many accusers

I ain't got nothing

ready to start

another category war

I'm doubting they'll

settle any score

many things mother

I control next to nothing

and still and so

I need to get on with something

what

2.3770 : 8/29/15 : Mix

When you mix me

When I feel it spill on

over the top

See feeling was all

one thing

When I don't take

a step back

and don't

say stop

I'll see it then

I'll laugh at

all our empty talk

give me to remember

as I pause exhausted

halfway

up the stalk

what

2.3769 : 8/28/15 : The High Road

That's that then

so

let me tell you

it's a shit show

maybe thought I'd

take the high road

hee haw

oh hell no

I refuse to

even wrap it up

the less the less

the fucking less

than half full cup

what

2.3768 : 8/27/15 : One of these Days (Endless Axis 500/500)

Prior to one of

my finite

remaining sunrises

think I can't

swing that drag around

hope you like surprises

there's no tomorrow

but we've got

all day long

one of those days

it's like there's

nothing I can say wrong

so go ahead

try me on like

a tailored suit

I'm up on the highest line

no net

no parachute

what

2.3767 : 8/26/15 : Foundation (Endless Axis 499/500)

Considering the

foundation laid

If the welcome's

perhaps overstayed

but it's firmer

than I though it'd be

there's more of it

that's left to me

and while not quite yet

pinned to the map

it seems this reed's

not going to snap

what

2.3766 : 8/25/15 : Sunshine (Endless Axis 498/500)

Back blowing sunshine

every channel uncorked

Got gloomy so I

grabbed the source and forked

and if you want to know

how I can keep it up

hell I'm just so damn glad

that still have a cup

what

2.3765 : 8/24/15 : Come Easy (Endless Axis 497b/500)

Sure enjoying

the challenge

the nothing

come easy

the always the

next thing

my paeans

most cheezy

these short stacks

like tooth pulls

and never

a day off

but I'm not

complaining

I'm locked

for the playoff

what

2.3764 : 8/23/15 : Think Positive (Endless Axis 497/500)

Got to

think positive

got two or three

as still we

have to live

get through

your spree

what

2.3763 : 8/22/15 : Shorter (Endless Axis 496/500)

Shorter

sweeter

Once grim mood

Starts

to teeter

I'm betting

long on me

just getting

going

strong you see

what

2.3762 : 8/21/15 : Fishing (Endless Axis 495/500)

The minimum standard

if that's what I'm dishing

I push it unhidden

they say that I'm fishing

but when I pull this catch

you'll say I'm a genuis

crazy I still mean it

you'll know when you seen us

what

2.3761 : 8/20/15 : Pragmatic Retreat (Endless Axis 494/500)

Guess I better try

to nail the landing

make it with the peace

and understanding

how far under

am I on this plunge

somehow erase it

Somehow I'll expunge

the mark of

pragmatic retreat

Somehow transform

and make it not defeat

what

2.3760 : 8/19/15 : Fool's Game (Endless Axis 493/500)

Did the brigade get broken

well the scoffers well may reckon

All the hateful raters

Would I might call down heck on

The account is slender and

I admit I'm low on ideas

Nobody hid their smirks last time

I ventured that the truth might free us

In a hundred years

Isn't it a shame

none of us left to behold

accountable to this fools' game

In a hundred ears

rhetoric and sleight

we'll be history and the

game will be somebody else's fight

I've still got the secret roster

I still have the ritual rules

don't throw your pips

and medals out too soon

I might yet call upon you fools

what

2.3759 : 8/18/15 : Positivity Experiment (Endless Axis 492/500)

Not experimental

talented or tight

no good excuse

for what keeps me up

all night

nobody looking

to collaborate

Why do I work

to prop up this blank slate

end of the

positivity experiment

is nigh

What could the conclusion

be except I

guess I'm not that guy

what could the conclusion

be but

try try again

then blame it on

the Devil

and original sin

what

2.3758 : 8/17/15 : Hamster (Endless Axis 491/500)

All I just want

is to keep polishing

tiny stones

I learned you were

2 years my elder

that one got

me in my bones

I and should

break out break out

form this

hamster track

but I like it when

if spins up fast

and trips me up

and hurls me back

what

2.3757 : 8/16/15 : Drop (Endless Axis 490/500)

Pin drop

anticipation

for the

good cop

bad cop

situation

hardly know

the goal

the object

anymore

but for sure

there's going to

be a downpour

what

2.3756 : 8/15/15 : Charge (Endless Axis 489/500)

Who's in

charge here

something looming

large near

and I can't

claim to be

enlightened

a bit

and I get

the tensions

heightened

what

2.3755 : 8/14/15 : Line (Endless Axis 488/500)

Draw a line like a circle

trace a mazey line

I'm right as rain

baby I'm super fine

around the rosy corner

when I lunge

You'll feel it always

then I take the plunge

what

2.3754 : 8/13/15 : Stygian (Endless Axis 487/500)

These Stygian depths

Do I get plumbing them

meeting big dudes with bad reps

It's unbecoming when

I go from station to station

forgetting every thought

And not a clue now

as to what I really thought

what

2.3753 : 8/12/15 : In Post (Endless Axis 486/500)

Fix it in post

fax it back to most

through the time time

bubble tube

made him look

what a rube

This line stretches worse

who so wins the purse

The race did

it pass?

bend on

leaves of grass

what

2.3752 : 8/11/15 : Because Eleven (Endless Axis 485/500)

Because

eleven minutes

arthritic hands

because but ifs

althoughs maybe ands

because ten minutes

because that's

how it goes

today I knew

today

was going to be

one of those

what

2.3751 : 8/10/15 : Ditch (Endless Axis 484/500)

Said I'd blow off

and ditch

but it's all gotten so rote

In time

another stitch

guess I'm still

bailing the boat

but the thing

was supposed to be

about the sea

not the boat

not this damn

silent cacophony

what

2.3750 : 8/9/15 : Plod (Endless Axis 483/500)

Long for a sprint

but this leg's a plod

Somebody for sure

decided don't spare the rod

got the marks to prove it

Cross my thighs and back

no short cut seems apparent

and no goddamned life hack

what

2.3749 : 8/8/15 : Dare (Endless Axis 482/500)

Sick of talking up

the daring-do

You talk a nice game

but what do you do

about these problems

larger than us all

forget your dare

because here comes the wall

what

2.3748 : 8/7/15 : The Rabbit (Endless Axis 481/500)

Where the time went

other not mysteries

grab hell

things get blistery

I'd like to think

we're going to pull the rabbit out

but what I've got

goes way past doubt

what

2.3747 : 8/6/15 : Last Meal (Endless Axis 480/500)

All nonsense

like we didn't

long past

begin it

and the finish

line all unknown

could just

pop up any minute

I've lost a bit

of my old

existential zeal

and I can't

figure if I'd

ever really want

to know my last meal

what

2.3746 : 8/5/15 : Stays (Endless Axis 479/500)

Then apprehending

a shift must come

a change in the wind

and where's that from?

an open end

a few sparse days

pray a little sticks

a little stays

what

2.3745 : 8/4/15 : Special (Endless Axis 478/500)

But it all just keeps

spooling around and the special's gone

and I'm thinking about

language

and traditions, long

I think I'll leave the thought

again unresolved

you can chew on it a while

if you can stand to get involved

what

2.3744 : 8/3/15 : Stick (Endless Axis 477/500)

Ring around

another change

end of indulgence

embrace of the strange

If you'll forgive me

short and sweet

I defy augury

and determine to stick every beat

what

2.3743 : 8/2/15 : Wonderful Gift (Endless Axis 476/500)

Focus, think clearly

present what you know

Had a way with words

but still I guess you had to go

and here's to each one

I couldn't ever know

What a wonderful gift

may any essence ever show

me away and going forward

with a nasty weight now pressing

with this wonderful gift of a hard short life

a depth I am calling a blessing

what

2.3742 : 8/1/15 : Happening (Endless Axis 475/500)

It's happening right now

by the pricking of my brow

by the prickling up my neck

I see the veil a pieced torn wreck

Did I want the face to face

you interposed a fearsome taste

I interposed a deck of woe

Guess we both had some miles to go

What's happening so soon the launch

my Argonauts grinning and staunch

the destination here's the trick

Chuck all the darts sure one will stick 

what
