2.4046 : 5/31/16 : Portrait

Who'd get the portrait treatment

who'd want it

you throw that ball my way

You know I'll punt it

Is this a lull

or the final unwinding?

I've asked before

and I don't know

What I'm finding

what

2.4045 : 5/30/16 : Another Night

When will I learn

or else I guess get sick enough

only advertisers act

like they want on my dick enough

So I didn't go overboard

take the bait on leading social site

but if you could see inside

oh how I would waste another night

what

2.4044 : 5/29/16 : Shuck

What to battle

what what to fight

too soft too long

it's keeping me

up at night

manufactured dependence

genetic bad luck

the daily drag

the jive and shuck

Surely coincidence

this nervous cough

insist I'm a pacifist

and pass it off

what

2.4043 : 5/28/16 : One Tap

Kick it quick

Push to the next slot

thought I had a minute

but not

what

2.4042 : 5/27/16 : 12 Sins

About 12 sins short

no smoke no drank

no rule no rank

much too old

somehow got dull

still won't bend to

glass half full

want my sins back

can't hack the heat

cold slapped and jacked

and way up queer street

what

2.4041 : 5/26/16 : Slackbox

Scorned to pull

the trigger on distraction

reboot the slackbox

now here's real action

what

2.4040 : 5/25/16 : Plot

Have to dig a

new plot up

always wrecked

what you thought up

Can't see it now

through this fog

I'll have to mix it

in the epilog

what

2.4039 : 5/24/16 : Grease

Anything at all to grease this skid

Oh no you didn't: oh hell yes I did

I'm through I'm not down being sick no more

This time it's me that's showing you the door

Give me an inch and ounce I've got the time

this joint could use a little grit and grime

Your face could use a little bit less smirk

I guess that smile'll falter when you feel the jerk

I guess you won't be laughing when you see my name

upon that board that tells you that I won your game

with a bit of grease of course and work for days

I'm not feeling half done better hope it pays

what

2.4038 : 5/23/16 : Sullen

Let the sullen sing

beneath this

battered veneer

nobody guess

I've got a reputation here

plunge the void

heart stopped

and immaculate

too tired to care

and feeling

hacked to bits

what

2.4037 : 5/22/16 : Stunned

Stunned before the bell

the other shoe

designed in a dream,

fell

and dived with it

deep sweet

ready to surrender

get cast off my feet

what

2.4036 : 5/21/16 : Undone

Do and do and do

and still feel undone

and always missing

more time having fun

and didn't this didn't that

guess which scale's light

and I can't make anything

else up tonight

what

2.4035 : 5/20/16 : The Conversion of Mass

Might say I know

a thing or two about

infinite destiny

dial self regard

down to negative

immensity

playing games

with words and 

silent inhale

staying quiet

quit the rant

and rail

My little thimble

and the ocean

expanding

and oh to put

an end to

all the half understanding

what

2.4034 : 5/19/16 : Reps

Counting wrong breaths

little backwards steps

where I think it's leading

messing up my reps

pulling at the wrong threads

where's something new

try hard to dig it up

bring one piece to you

what

2.4033 : 5/18/16 : Too Much Sense

Everything

makes too much sense

even for a guy

like me: so dense

know all the effects

by all my causes

everybody notices

my halts and pauses

how the hell to get to

blocked and senseless

close all passages

still stay fenceless

I'm just trying

to stay awake

sing hey praise

till it sings up an earthquake

what

2.4032 : 5/17/16 : A Thousand

A thousand tries

I laugh at you beginners

Divide your life by fives

try to spot the winners

have I hit my long round

is this my dire arena

bail me out oh Lord Rama

release me great Athena

oh Lord another thousand

oh man and call it halfway

by Ur and Zoroaster

behold the half mast last day

what

2.4031 : 5/16/16 : Pass

Last pass on this

indulgent era

right?

didn't quite

make it this night

I can fix this

the new leaf

right?

Can't stand it

it's all

so bright

what

2.4030 : 5/15/16 : Null Rev

Try to jack the null rev

spin up on the void

back on that bootstrap trip

could never long avoid

tried the skim, the start-up

got jacked and smacked my heart up

tried the grift, the neo-pious

missed rhe next thing that got by us

left looking like

trying to make hand shadows in the dark, gee -

Sorry thought I had ahold

on something

dumb me, more malarky

tried the pocket friend, the fresh jam

Nobody bought a ticket for that,

alakazam

and I got

left looking like

trying to make hand shadows in the dark, gee -

sorry thought I had ahol

on something

dumb me, more malarky

what

2.4029 : 5/14/16 : The Dark

Nothing lined up

I surrender

Who should look to me

I'm no defender

Yearning towards

descent, the dark

A timeless moment

to investigate the mark

what

2.4028 : 5/13/16 : Sap

Hand upon hand

trying to beat the brass

out of the cynic's band

go giving me a ghost of a chance

baby baby do you still like to dance

Shoulders in the press

head in the trap

and even after I

decided I'd be nobody's sap

I stood in the stalls

like anyone at all

and hustled for all the

same scrap

Escape the big circle

might well be another

Work mill

but I'd be

Somewhere else

no debate

and far past the bounds

of the steady state

what

2.4027 : 5/12/16 : Loss

Defy loss

Rise

absorb

any cost

never

never

will you

break this

go on

go on

make this

what

2.4026 : 5/11/16 : Swaying

Listening to better:

bitter, distress

such a bore,

my more

is more and more

less

I can never figure out

what to repeat

I can't imagine

why I still struggle to my feet

Swaying sullen and dumb

don't get too near

or else you're gonna get some

Just need a drum machine

electric dulcimer

and talent and time

and a bulb that's dimmer

Just need a time machine

a suitcase of cash

two track two reel

a little room to thrash

what

2.4025 : 5/10/16 : Casting

How's it all gone

even my pens

are gone

and on the threshold

of the last

vice

telling in clichés

and casting

Dice

what

2.4024 : 5/09/16 : Medley

Every great hit

circles once or twice

medley of my mind

and not very nice

No root no vine

and withering

and in my heart

a dark hope slithering

what

2.4023 : 5/8/16 : FLAT

I get all m

inspiration from TV

'cause my real experiences

just don't inspire me

dreams and aspirations

that's some old hat

blew it too long

and that's that

Don't mind this

just weary and flat

bad timing on this jones

and wearing

the wrong hat

what

2.4022 : 5/7/16 : Cryptic

pulled by the cryptic

nobody is fooled

my problem's obvious

gotta get this retooled

Gotta get this skinned

chopped, rebored

chase that cryptic truth

I so long ignored

what

2.4021 : 5/6/16 : Fill

Vessel empty

full of use

fill of hot blood

pray, recuse

once old ways

now fruit, seed

make this vessel

fill this need

what

2.4020 : 5/5/16 : 4 Pins

4 Pins 4 corners

tacked to the wall

the map the territory

the trajectory the fall

what

2.4019 : 5/4/16 : All Powers

Primal simplicity

please come and

live with me

get me

undiversified

all powers

unified

climb off the

savior kick

wait for

some new move to click

dance me

right off this stage

show me the

great blank page

what

2.4018 : 5/3/16 : What Could

Rise early

unironic and

unhappy with it

fed up

calculated

to the seventh digit

oh sure the

world needs more of me

wrasslin'

the what

could never be

what

2.4017 : 5/2/16 : TROLL

Troll down to

the dog end

oops I missed

the mess friend

best promise

clam up

hope you got

the dam up

what

2.4016 : 5/1/16 : Ordnance

Shut the door

on the mad cash

So what so what now?

Got no

secret stash

got no moonlight gig

annuity

wish to hell

You were done

getting through to me

give me the angle

the ordnance

the target and

shell weight

it's all drones anyhow

might as well pay freight

sense must start

before you pull the cord

And seldom smiles

on those

bound to the sword

what
