2.4441 : 6/30/17 : Wrapped

I'll stop thinking about

Whether it wrapped well or ill

When did I start caring

the latest bitter pill

Oh can't I get off it

the suffering

maybe the meaning of life

is just buffering

But I hung up the sign

and I can leave it flat

because I want to just

get my going on like that

what

2.4440 : 6/29/17 : Nest

My nest returned

to full retinue

a few years yet

to hold to you

and dark dreams

laid to rest again

Oh to remember

the next time when

and soon away

and thanks be on

a dreaming time

it's been too long

what

2.4439 : 6/28/17 : Conjuring Up Spirits

Conjuring up spirits

should be careful with that shit

didn't I read my Earthsea

Don't I remember it?

It isn't magic

Don't you know it's just memory

Who knows the difference?

Guess rocks just don't speak to

me

Sorry for your bad day

mister nobody

I'm putting the spirits to rest

Be the road so muddy

what

2.4438 : 6/27/17 : Blocks In My Head

Eveyday illusion

of getting ahead

Stacking up imagery

tetris blocks in my head

whatever gets clear

keeps falling

and I'm giving up

early

howso you might

find it apalling

what

2.4437 : 6/26/17 : Money Magnet

Money magnet I

will make you mine

grail stone

I'm going to drop your line

don't have an interest

in immortality

but money's always

been a friend to me

not supposed to say it

to ask is gauche

I'm going to climb that ladder

like a tower of approach

and fix my magnet

to the tippy top

summer again

here goes another crop

what

2.4436 : 6/25/17 : Can't Hack

I can't hack the

kid scene no more

I got kinda old

pretty much shut that door

Don't feel bad

don't miss it

as far as morals go

it's just implicit

what

2.4435 : 6/24/17 : Golden

I am not beholden

test it man,

it's golden

no adornment

it's no ornament

it's a piece of work

I get paid, I'm a jerk

I'll figure it out

bang dead on its shout

what

2.4434 : 6/23/17 : Excuses

Excuses are the coal

we're burning down time with

I thought with you for once

I'd get down to the pith

and we did oh we did

and what a strange revelation

discover it in the dirt, Lord

Discover it on vacation

you can work a long time

and walk some heavy miles

how is it you can always

give me the smiles

Even when I'm burning coal

from both sides of the lump

you best believe when it comes calling

I'm gonna be on the jump

what

and he was limping because of his hip

So thoroughly lost the plot that I'm having to switch books in the middle of a transcription and posting catch-up session.  So anyway Say Cycles was the end of volume 2.20 Anything is Possible and moving right along to volume 2.21 The Book of Coal. Deep lore behind this joint, fellow travelers.

what

2.4433 : 6/22/17 : Say Cycles

To say cycles, again

is redundant

pack in

a thousand

lights a minute

then recyle

and begin it

right blast off

yes perfection

like I feel

in my

infection

self awareness

this imp

yeah there's

a story

to this limp

what

2.4432 : 6/21/17 : Plans that Failed

The plans that failed

to account

for fiddly time

in great amount

or future years

for traveling light

pigheaded disposition

to stay up late

at night

disinclined to pick at

just what kept me at it

after so many times

I declared I'd just had it

still left out where I once began

another night another plan

what

2.4431 : 6/20/17 : Forecast

Forecast for me

the next 15

will scuttle it

at last

or somehow

come out clean

the way the numbers

add up is alarming

it drags me down

and eats up hours

and who but me

is it harming?

what

2.4430 : 6/19/17 : Long Launch

Get ready for

the start of the

long launch

Got to be

philosophical

got to be staunch

because it's

a big job

I'm facing

it's got me thinking

brooding

planning

pacing

what

2.4429 : 6/18/17 : The Ordinary Fee

Nonetheless

mistakes were made

the ordinary

fee was paid

and the clocks tracked

back around again

and I think

this one is

for the bin

what

2.4428 : 6/17/17 : Mistake

Was it a mistake to come

best be bold before

You ask it of anyone

all existential

thought is a trap

every single one

thinks they can beat the rap

that they'e the one

who can turn the mirrorball

inside out

catch a flash of light

and finally

set a light that can't

burn out

but you're not

I'm not

they weren't

and they'll get what we got

when they arrive

It wasn't a mistake

If you want to know

And I'm quite glad to be alive

what

2.4427 : 6/16/17 : Malcontents

Open season of

the malcontents

I bet this round

is going to leave some dents

I'm guessing I resemble

sufficiently

what's deemed fit

to leave burning

down gracelessly

and I can't front

guess I enjoyed the boost

I never asked for

but still birds

will come home to roost

at end of the

opening season's dark start

in the bloom of the

black rose's dark heart

what

2.4426 : 6/15/17 : Love Is the Light that Smashes Darkness

Love is the light that

smashes darkness

love is the hollering bell

Love is the lasso

of truth and kindness

the only escape in

this sort of hell

forever they tell you

it fails and falters

they tell you it won't

pay the bills

but love is the light

that smashes darkness

the spark at the heart

of the billions' wills

what

2.4425 : 6/14/17 : Post Mortem

Post mortem on

possibility

is sneaking on up

won't be

surprising me

but for all the

talk talking

we can never agree

was it impossible

or did we just lose steam

or overindulge

too many trips

to the stream

guess I'll see it again

around that tricky bend

maybe a turning point

probably not the end

what

2.4424 : 6/13/17 : The Crunch

Saying is easy

then the crunch

know it well enough

can't say

I love it a bunch

every pin knocked over

always another to stand

and already forgot what

briefly came to my hand

what

2.4423 : 6/12/17 : Black Candle

Not gonna burn the black

candle again this moon

cast back the blaze and

smog and new comes soon

What's placed in my hand

tonight I'll honor it and

understand

Not this:

but you might as well

enjoy the passing breeze

and ride it to a little

higher aspiration

this day as you please

what

2.4422 : 6/11/17 : Doubt Shadow

Doubt shadow

what couldn't

slip through

those who try

to make it all

about you

despite whatever

I might say

about it

some will whisper

some will

murmur

Some will shout it

what

2.4421 : 6/10/17 : Sirens

Leave the sirens

to their

main floor

business

that light you sense

behind

Your right shoulder

is a false sentence

but it's hard to explain

the real sense

and I leave the

ethereal

up to the sirens

what

2.4420 : 6/9/17 : Blue Haze

Not much apt to

pierce this blue haze

no restless walks

or green retreat

these days

the will to change

is weak and leaking

and all around

a deeper midnight sneaking

I know this trough

the trembling heart

always knocked back

to the start

one hand offers

but one always takes away

blue blue what

tomorrow do you betray

what

2.4419 : 6/8/17 : English

I'll put tons

of English

on this

stone's throw

skip skip

and once

it sinks

I'll know

what

2.4418 : 6/7/17 : Sauce

Having run

out of the secret sauce

and over caring

for applause

expecting heat of

battle on the morn

lay down the pen

keep close the horn

what

2.4417 : 6/6/17 : Wet Slap

So I say my piece

for what it's worth

doubting it's worth

a wet slap in

monsoon rain

all the big world

and its world-sized problems

that I try to match

with my little brain

all in this ironbound

hall of treasure chests

try to find the little box

that my key fits

they welcome my spade

in the fields of toil

and I wonder if that

will be as good

as it gets

what

2.4416 : 6/5/17 : Big Casino

Do I get into a scrap again?

On the great attenuated

sort of conversation

Do I concede the point?

is anybody making

any impact on this joint

all back and forth

and la di da

if the big casino

noticed it they'd laugh, haha

I know where to

point my effort at

turn off the screen

and don my night hat

what

2.4415 : 6/4/17 : The Director

Since I can't generate

that special brand of fire

guess I'll

talk talk talk

about it

like a regular liar

is it inspiration

or harder work

do I just need a vacation

or who knows what I shirk

the production goes on

but the Director

is a no show

and what comes

the next morning

is a low blow

what

2.4414 : 6/3/17 : Am I

am I a comedian

an advocate

am I washed up

past it

plain old hat

these kids

are generation gapping me

and still the

old ambition

strapping me

am I going to

snap out of it

eventually

not that I'm

expecting answers

incidentally

what

2.4413 : 6/2/17 : Runes

Might as well

scratch runes backward in mud

King retrograde rules

by the fist of

Sheriff Lud

and I'm peasant stock

for sure

unlikely to rise

and my cryptic runes

will never pass

under a thousand eyes

what

2.4412 : 6/1/17 : Oil

The urge again

to tear about

and burn the oil

that's running out

and eating up my

brain I read

how many years

and all I said

not sure at all

what I'm about

leave with a murmer

not a shout

what

2.4411 : 5/31/17 : Themes

The old themes play

and again I remember

every day

with the old man

Oh it's not exactly

fading, Pop

But I have to keep going

and the themes

make me stop

Every quiet hour

back home

in front of the box

and again the

sharp break

shocks

what

2.4410 : 5/30/17 : Launch

throw down to the place

the launch pad

hastily conceived

still not bad

what's left

but to flip a switch

what
