2.3831: 10/29/15 : Skin

Fast slash
through the skin deep
if only
it bred good sleep
by definition
can't sustain
can't flirt can't chart
can't refrain
thank God they
can't see my unfinished soul
too bad I can't crawl in
pull in the hole
Too bad I'm the one who's
stuck leading here
better hope I hang on
don't disappear

2.3830: 10/28/15 : Time-Hole

Your modern time-hole
nothing to say
I need the money
and by and by
it does pay
I'll get mine back
Someday way down the line
and failing that
you'll see me coming
with a mean hook on my line

2.3829: 10/27/15 : Typical Quotidian

Too typical
quotidian
get a look
obsidian
give a look
all disbelief
I'm the crook
but time's the thief

2.3828: 10/26/15 : Little Spaces

Living for
these little spaces
breathing right
for fifteen paces
but the big
figure out
seems no closer
and what could still fit
is a real poser

what

2.3827: 10/25/15 : Perfection Trip

So if I give up
On this perfection trip
What will I have
will I have nothing, zip
Maybe another
45 and change
What will I discover
What to rearrange
always want to put
a cap on it
and all this business
all this crap and shit
Got to be nicer to myself
Got to be a good little elf
Crash it, walk away
call tomorrow a better day
glad to be straightening up
maybe the lord
will gift me a better cup

2.3826: 10/24/15 : Lower

Surprised myself
by going lower
Surprise I guess
I'm a grower
not a shower
wish I could skip
a couple days
craving growth
craving praise
maybe revelation
is imminent
praying for a transformation
that's permanent
So tie my shoes
gird my loins
the whirlwind is coming
may I not be mired
in my coming and goings

2.3825: 10/23/15 : Stupid Play

What if I don't want to
and don't have to
and I do it anyway
is that true or brave
or just a stupid play
is there a difference
to be had anywhere
after I ask five hundred times
Could you do anything but stare
Your big answer is silence
Can't stand on that forever
So I say whatever comes
What I need comes never

2.3824: 10/22/15 : Another

Blown
burned
all the way
can't say nothing
but another day
another day
got to sunlight
no magic string
How bad I need
a way to turn this thing

2.3823: 10/21/15 : One Game

Spin back all but
the same
with one game
On the field
and the truth will yield
a handful
a smattering
who's making odds
on this turn
better burn
the transcripts
if you can
spring the crypts
dig in
trying again
and get
scattering

2.3822: 10/20/15 : Needles and Pins

Magic
wishes
deal with djinns
every minute
On needles and pins
failing that
as it surely shall
Maybe you can
help me out here Pal
Shut down
say next time for sure
more magic begging
more of the same, the pure

what

2.3821 : 10/19/15 : Immersion

The immersion
getting to me
the recursion getting
getting to me
said this was my
real life now
after all
What did you think
scared me
true against the wall
it took a long time
but this well is looking bad
and this seems like
the worst idea
in a long damn chain
I had

2.3820 : 10/18/15 : Tank

With nothing in the tank
nobody to thank
tonight
see you fixing
for a fight
but I won't play
and I won't stay
and if you ask me
how it went
I'm going to say OK

what

2.3819 : 10/17/15 : Dark

Nowhere to go
but dark
and that unearned
this fool's lark
zero desire
to rectify
and even less than that
to justify

what

2.3818 : 10/16/15 : The Table

Unconvinced
unable
to take myself
that seriously
What I bring
to the table
Once I knew
thought it was good
feet were clay
head a block of wood
the table
was heaped with crusts
and everything
that doesn't spoil
rusts

what

2.3817 : 10/15/15 : Square Jaw

Have I got a bell
left to ring
do I still give a rip
for anything
besides the home the kid
the wife like any
square jaw
there must have
been an
inflection point
some rare law
seems we won't rally
so I guess we sink
but maybe we always
think we're on the
Brink
fishing with a square jaw
and a ghost light
close the book on it
and say goodnight

2.3816 : 10/14/15 : No Portents

No charm
no portents in evidence
read a mind
no blind
or shackled
obedience
so by choice
yet what value
If I knew
hell
I'd just tell you

2.3815 : 10/13/15 : A Little Juice

Not a miracle
nor sleight of hand
not a
minute to lose
gotta gotta
get the band
back together at last
make the movie
make the game
ha the pipe dream's
got a little juice yet
but it'll all
turn out the same

2.3814 : 10/12/15 : Scrap

Dark seed beckons
but spin it in a
spiral instead
I had far to go
to be lying in
my made bed
perspective can't
escape the lesson
of the privileged few
all dead but a handful
and doesn't mean
a scrap to you

2.3813 : 10/11/15 : Cracks

Black cracks
clouds already
showing
what's the use
of doing
and knowing
Ah no light
down the old
passage
reel it back in
get on
with this
first classage

2.3812 : 10/10/15 : Switch

Turn off
no more
waking
everything
on a switch
even partaking
enlightenment
joy majesty
switch it on
or switch off
randomly

2.3811 : 10/9/15 : Every Moment

By crazy chance
crossed the same river twice
imagine every moment
filed 
cant even tell
if that would be nice
that's my next level
every paradigm
in ruins
but I imagine it all
the revelations
and so so many
gorgeous tunes

what

2.3810 : 10/8/15 : Classics

If you haven't picked up
I'm scribing describing
future times oh I can't wait
throw a little chrome on a
dome for sure
I'm taking that bait
here's another wrinkle
kicks'll be all legal
and industrial class
or better top shelf subtle
like the real good stuff
in a big heavy crystal glass
all the classics
and all the new kicks
trip free freak and fly high
no need to overdo
we all have a few
because everyone can get by
Finally get to be the wizard
the alchemist
I always felt was my fate
Come make the sanctum with me
classics yanked from the tree
now stand back as I demonstrate

2.3809 : 10/7/15 : Haste

To end the need
for haste and deadlines
oh God the way
that I'll be making headlines
for my innovations
my amazing lists
I demure my fame
but oh my muse insists
that I ascend
on pure furious
optimism
the transfigured society
built across
the perfect schism

2.3808 : 10/6/15 : Gem of Great Price

Gem of great price
my plenum horn
bursts this
gated paradise
diamond by hundredweights
grown in fathomless caves
fit skin for a
harsher world
and the beginning of
the glad hand
that saves

what

2.3807 : 10/5/15 : Unlost

Now to sea
unlost continent
made of all refuse
twentieth's
revenant
powerful I drew
in the mighty gyre
first I attended
built the wire
ran a hard line
old school that way
then casting
all scraps come play
many mansions
many wells
many fields
and all there dwells

what

2.3806 : 10/4/15 : Spires

Spires spires
the thousandth floor
praise the elevator
and I still want more
begin the diaspora
up gravity's well
You're going to swing
your'e going to
hear that bell
Spires spires
My day will come
I spend a year
never touching ground
I'll elevate all things
the thousand and first story
all to gain a hermitage
to craft
the true sound

2.3805 : 10/3/15 : Turning Point

Turn my face from
the seemingly unsolvable
swallow the exponential
problems consuming all
all for a microscopic
subset of the cosmos
but as the rest is locked away
sleaze right on up
and osmose
the wrong complexion
ideology
and tackle
I'll say it anyway
and maybe raise a hackle
not coming on like that
just looking for
a turning point
nobody else
is stepping up
so step back
here's my
pivot
joint

what

2.3804 : 10/2/15 : Sameness

Sorry for the sameness
but one call only
blameless
and maybe meet me
halfway
this once
oh repetition
how it dulls
and blunts

what

2.3803 : 10/1/15 : Matchbox Fates

And truly flattened
and beyond wiped
these matchbox fates
as they schemed
and sniped
only one exit
and it only half works
but better than to
line up for
Heaven's sluggish clerks
