2.4655 : 1/30/18 : A Blessing

Soothe out the mind
on things
seen a thousand times
old laughs
are best laughs
a blessing
despite my crimes
despite my lapses
and frequent
pauses
I'm still limping
after all
my causes

2.4654 : 1/29/18 : Tune

The tune in my head
Cycles in a round
Sometimes hum along
Sometimes don't make a sound
and it goes goes
Oh so slowly
and softly well suited
for one so weak so lowly

2.4653 : 1/28/18 : Mojo

To get the mojo back
fix the whole culture
rectify the great disunion
keep back you damn vulture
there's not a corpse here
there's life in us yet
Still a world of simple pleasure
Somehow we're bound to get
a lot of reading lately
probably won't cut it
have to find it in the darkness
won't come overnight but it
must be worth it
the mojo's very needful
So I'll be silent get to sleep
and try to be so heedful

2.4652 : 1/27/18 : Anywhere

So many places to
go to be
not especially concerned
that there I'll still be me
So many places
but for the straightjacket
the sunken cost
the business cycle
of course the debt racket
many never make it
much of anywhere
live the life you choose
so why should I care
but a seed planted early
still tries to sprout
but I wouldn't lay money
that I'll ever get out

2.4651 : 1/26/18 : Treasure

Dozing through a dream
caves and treasure
maybe by this time next year
I'll have my true measure
host the big party
Start the long book
somehow oh somehow
by hook or by crook

2.4650 : 1/25/18 : As Usual

I was working out my
payback vibes
but then I got angry
got a little bit
apoco-rocko
but it calmed me strangely
nobody owes me nothing
and the feeling's mutual
and it will all work out
some whole other way
as usual
I wanted to say
a little bit more
but I got no material
someday the king of
killer rhymes
is going to bring it, serial
but not this time around
in fact I feel like going to ground
to round out
the brighter theory
of this new imperial

what

2.4649 : 1/24/18 : Revenge

Seeking revenge, the kid
in the pixel space
Still got that urge myself
and feel it twist my face
I get paternal
shut down the virtual quest
get to your evening
get to your needed rest
late in the darkening
don't really get it right
still not looking for revenge
really still seeking light

2.4648 : 1/23/18 : Compromise

Call stumbling a compromise
between walking and falling
call out my latest compromise
you'll surely peg it as stalling
though what I think I'm holding off
is surely a mystery
just hoping for some big surprise
or anything that's new to me
it won't much matter
tomorrow back in it up to my eyes
and I've got a feeling the way out of that
is nothing like a compromise

2.4647 : 1/22/18 : 15 Seconds

Gone in 15 seconds
chalk it up to
bad examples
deal back in
the quarter century
and start
running all these samples

2.4646 : 1/21/18 : Springtime of My Heart

This again feeling dumb
and getting dumber
wish I could hibernate
lose some weight
denned in a long dream of summer
Oh for a springtime
of my heart and soul
forebear to
replay the role
the true return
that the sage speaks of
in an old book
Cast me that dream
line sinker hook
ahead where
the brook may turn

what

2.4645 : 1/20/18 : Steps

Am I slowing
losing steps
just want the quiet life
maybe a few more
laps and reps
a few more greens
better sleep
no kind of plan
but these steps
are going deep
into the drifted
snow of
day after tomorrow
So says the bit of
future vision
I borrow

what

2.4644 : 1/19/18 : Scale It

And like that
the wall is there
guess you can
find it anywhere
scale it some other day
maybe somehow
something else beckons here
Come now

what

2.4643 : 1/18/18 : F

Plan F
I guess I worked it out
Next time it gets in my head
to find something to be about
hard to get excited
There's been so many
find I'm dreaming
back when there weren't any
hardly want it
if I can't change my mind
from sinking down
into the grit and grind
and maybe the last bus
up and went
maybe all the
credit's spent

2.4642 : 1/17/18 : Perhaps It's Best

I like that memory
Quiet and thoughtless
passing
seems I can't recall
a single other thing
perhaps it's best

2.4641 : 1/16/18 : Anxious Frame

What percent of this is an anxious frame
Still waiting for something
amazing to happen
How on earth after all these years
How I'd like to give
the fool a sound slapping
Still wrangling around in this restless mind
the arbitrary versus
the wait for the call
and the dark surmise see it plain in my eyes
that both sides are bankrupt
and there's really just nothing
at all

what

2.4640 : 1/15/18 : Ahead

The comforing glamour
of getting ahead
shimmering mirage
my suspicion instead
I'd be far better off
thinking myself far behind
all but out of the race
says the cold-blooded mind
the home team made good
and the hometown is happy
might make it a month
color men getting sappy
It'll all get back to baseline
the great wheel will expunge
everyone brace their boots
for the next big plunge

2.4639 : 1/14/18 : Something Something


Something something something
small group
world changed
capital and war
disrupted
rearranged
red tape slashed through
with a ninja sword
free and just society
man we already bored
we're just a rotten
bunch of monkeys
only out to gratify
I'll watch the endgame
from my bunker
via drone dragonfly
pick up the pieces
all I got to do is wait
for this radioactive
trophy of the cake I lately ate

2.4638 : 1/13/18 : Ice

Skidding and slipping
how's this ice so thin
When it's been so cold
and how hard I've been working
must be an illusion
a danger mirage
I'll come back like a hero
with a workout montage
super privileged
sheltered secure
practically signed
for a big world tour
to explain the vision
half science half art
all provide I can fake through
all this ice built up round my heart

what

2.4637 : 1/12/18 : Drift Run

I'm just going to
do a drift run
on this one
slung shot out
fast a loaded gun
out in the dust
sparse asteroids
nobody but us
robots
and the real
bad paranoids
and me
floating free
scoop wide
play the yaw and lift
narrow the beam
and just drift

what

2.4636 : 1/11/18 : PIN

Could I for once pinpoint
the moment
Easy slide
into the
strange tides
what the moving hand
hovers over
and elides
a thousand sins of omission
leaving just the way
I'll find a garden of it
down here
and there I'll stay

what

2.4635 : 1/10/18 : Instant Regret

Regrets
I've had a few
Some as instant
as how I fell for you
And I hope it all
adds up on
your side of the scales
my instant regrets
my epic fails
stacked against
my tiny triumphs
my most favorite tales

what

Thursday, January 09, 2025

2.4634 : 1/9/18 : TAKE

One last
long slow
take
One time
I didn't
have to fake
any destination
but out
any
inner aspect
but doubt

what

2.4633 : 1/8/18 : Floor It

Every night it's like kapow
and I'm getting real sick of it and how
not like I drift off better for it
every morning better floor it
race to what don't get me started
not for as they say the faint-hearted
a little piece of what I ponder
but that's a wrap so see you yonder

what

2.4632 : 1/7/18 : Fruit

I see the fruit
that hangs so low
and cannot say just
why I love it so
Another day I
Swear to forswear
but oh the fruit is
hanging everywhere

what

2.4631 : 1/6/18 : Ancient History

Jump back a decade
with a swipe of a pen
am I going to get back
to ancient history again
It's been a scorcher
I can barely grasp
shut the book
and set the clasp
What was I about
to launch upon
don't screw it up
we'll get back anon
put ancient history away
stow all of that gain aft agley

2.4630 : 1/5/18 : License

Never have the liver
for the hype race
but I won't hack another minute
with this po face
Want to imagine
big as worlds alive
you gave me the one
but I will dream this times five
I haven't got a plan
not even a list
but noboday has yet
come with the
cease and desist
I'll call it license
stand up and shout it
it's time to stick around
you want to hear about it

what

Saturday, January 04, 2025

2.4629 : 1/4/18 : Response

Laugh meanly at my past self
Strategy: right
this call and response game
getting old tonight
but oh I used to talk
how I'd get the man down
If they could see me now
I'd be a joke in this town
Lord am I still pretending
about to get it right
this call and response game
getting old tonight
pine for something better
soon back out in the cold
and this harkening back
has gotten oh so old

what

2.4628 : 1/3/18 : The Secret

Open up the secret
just a tiny bit
long experience says
in the long run it won't ship a whit
And what would it be good for?
if it took a little hold
no longer have a clue of that
if I should be so bold
But I flash my little signal
the secret in plain sight
and maybe one or two
will spot a glimmer
in this world of night

2.4627 : 1/2/18 : HUMBLE

Oh yes the braggadocio
less of that around
not exactly humble
maybe closer to the ground
feeling afflicted
So what's to do selah?
Seeking the royal road
So hie thee ho and he ya
