2.4715 : 3/31/18 : Interval

Always this interval
pause
for the faithful
of this peculiar
faith
for all my flaws
that I am one
another night
and the pause is done
and say again
still living
and strangely
grace still giving

2.4714 : 3/30/18 : Train

Might as well
chock one more car
on this train
of thoughts
whatever those are
up in my brain
this pattern
well it's none too
inspiring
but it's small fry
to that over
which I'm perspiring

2.4713 : 3/29/18 : Crash

kids crashing
I got a big x
of my own
and I got
no extra
time to loan
flip the
days since
chart back to zero
but I won't
fall back on old habits
mark that
well clear-o

2.4712 : 3/28/18 : Prior Restraint

Fake choice
through prior restraint
might actually 
get me there someday
but there I ain't
today
I guess the
proof is in the pudding
this one's
thick Yorkshire dough
But I still got
tremendous doubt
it's going to be enough though

2.4711 : 3/27/18 : Cathedral Carnival

in the court
of the
cathedral
the carnival
I can't get over
the hump so
I stall

what

2.4710 : 3/26/18 : Rig

If you saw this rig
these sleep magicians had
to put me in
you'd gather why
this one is thin
I hope the
dreams can still get in

2.4709 : 3/25/18 : Crate

What's harder
to create?
Or the memory crate
always had
an inkling
but I'm running late
or maybe I'm not
even at half time
in a construct
of a past
Where a call's still a dime
and maybe still
worming to
some truth sublime

2.4708 : 3/24/18 : Just Quick

just quick
square the
circle
shut the trap
must we always
generate new crap
I can get off
on a technicality
all a bit meta
but enough
to spring me free

what

2.4707 : 3/23/18 : The Revelation

The revelation might be
quiet, and dull
how would I recognize
feel that deep pull
brain is juiced out
on the quick and easy light
I said their dollars
wouldn't turn me
but I scarce put up a fight
I'll get up early in
the morning
for a shot at their plow
the tyranny of a sure thing
if they could see me now
If the I of then
could see me now
I'd curse a blue streak
no sign of revelation
and I'm dragging
tired and weak

what

2.4706 : 3/22/18 : 7 Kinds

7 kinds of pain
stem to stern
top to bottom
and still worms turn
should be friends now
such long
acquaintance
should be preaching
doling them out penance
in a solid twelve
I'll be again
submerged
losing every lesson
of resolve
that briefly surged

what

2.4705 : 3/21/18 : Groove

Watch your hand
energy
effortlessly
overtake me
that's not my
struggle
and I mean my
lauds
sincerely
but wonder
what it's
my turn for
wonder what
I'm surely here for
tomorrow
make the
numbers move
pays the bills
but so
not my groove

2.4704 : 3/20/18 : Victory State

What would
look like good
to me right now
whould would I call
a victory state
want to put a stop
to escape fantasy
revenge fantasy
the myth of
the clean slate
want to be good
even still
speak well
crack the code
cut the knot
break this
spell

2.4703 : 3/19/18 : Muddled

Can't decipher
muddled mind
the latest tincture
is treating me unkind
will another adjustment
tip the scale
call me in a month
when I get
Spit out by the whale

what

2.4702 : 3/18/18 : Aqua Regian

Turns out every astrologer
got it all wrong
the Aquarian Age
started out
with this song
Once awake
the original Aquarian
Such surprise
I am the Aqua Regian
the last White King
the age that was past
twelve lights in the sky
Lord Christ forever my mainmast
ask what it means
the age of those
that moe like water
I secede my throne
and point
to the first daughter

2.4701 : 3/17/18 : Fraud

Skip the sermon
again today
because I'm feeling
like a fraud
Not out marching
nor will I be
nothing there
to laud
in my heart I want an answer
right off the shelf
not claiming any new ground
not even saving myself

2.4700 : 3/16/18 : My Visceral

I was working up
something really neat to say
about the purity
of the clean and peaceful way
but I run out of time
and get so literal
but it's not my fault
I'm so out of touch with my visceral
but I just keep it up
with a ton of grit
and it's been a long
strange trip not half done
and still I will not quit

what

2.4699 : 3/15/18 : Mud

What's floating up
like a bubble
of mud
foul the pipe
more useless crud
lance this luckless
night with a pin
seek in darkness
something new
within

what

2.4698 : 3/14/18 : Haunting

Try not to pine
it's unseemly
for a goneby time
it wasn't all that
I admit freely
it wasn't much
after all
and that lesson
is daunting
and I don't much care
for its afterwards
haunting
if I knew then
that's a tired refrain
And I don't know
the trick to
evict from my brain

what

2.4697 : 3/13/18 : Baroque

Telling tales
getting baroque
the truth hurts
yet still such a joke
another quagmire
to back out of
It could be worse
but don't care
for the track out of
Someday the surface
will reflect the deep
the pearl of truth
ever the cost is steep
I know the way
just need to find my back
straighten it up
and get the hell on track

what

2.4696 : 3/12/18 : Lit

I might get bit tonight
I could get lit tonight
but I think that I'll just
roll it up and quit tonight
I won't get on stage
too far past my good age
so pick another origin
so finally turn the page
get me a bigger box
a handful of padlocks
I'll move past this trench
If I can just weather the stocks

what

2.4695 : 3/11/18 : Day of Rest

Day of rest
should stop
but on I go
rough starts
and enough
of the damn snow

what

2.4694 : 3/10/18 : Deep Slack

Even in deep slack
I rack a stack
of little battles
versus entropy
and still feel
rust dulling my steel
considering what others face
can only sigh in empathy
this world's
got a mean streak
wide as the Mississippi
through both poles
and the equator
and the foolish debt
we've all run up
will surely hit
and sure will leave a crater

what

Sunday, March 09, 2025

2.4693 : 3/09/18 : Layers

Delight and dark ire
lay side by side
like layers of flotsam
piled up by the tide
try to burnish one
banish the rest
seems every day
I retake, fail this test

what

Saturday, March 08, 2025

2.4692 : 3/08/18 : Relax Pretend

Organize this mess
protest
under duress
but it's the only
ray of light
the America
the plight
level up
the stacks
a list or two
relax
pretend I
can believe
that I can ask
and will receive

what

2.4691 : 3/07/18 : Snitch

I snitch
and ditch
the responsibility
man I want
no part of it
no this ain't me
deliver unto me
the diadem
I'm ready to rule
my own fate
and bring it hard to them
rise above these lowly
trolling scions of circumstance
finally
say hello to real me
and break free
from this stance

what

2.4690 : 3/06/18 : What I Fear

Try to imagine
talisman
magic feather
make me a new man
seen about
everything
seen next to
nothing true
see that it's
about the time
to make some time
to wrestle you
but in
the desert nights
you never appear
passed by
the turning point
long long ago
that's what I fear

what

2.4689 : 3/05/18 : Chump

The hymn of persistence
falters before the
heckling of my inner chump
the better part of a year
still out ahead
of cresting the imaginary hump
and I'm right back
to zero playing to the
solipsism choir
and that oily footman
chortles you'll sink lower
before you get there squire

what

2.4688 : 3/04/18 : PINS

So many pins
marks in
so many pages
likely lost and
unsorted
so little will
survive the ages
tonight I can't
be bothered
with the record permanent
preoccupied
with shifting feelings
in the firmament

what

2.4687 : 3/03/18 : Such Hate

Such hate
such wrath and froth
match to the gasoline
candle to the moth
many fighting
my poor instinct to dodge
heedless of where
that bullet may lodge
and then this strange
prescription
to not resist
So I'll never live up
to your name
as I clench my fist
imagining the sweetness
the solid impact
if the moment ever comes
who the hell know
how I'll really act

what

2.4686 : 3/02/18 : Dial

Can't believe it's
all just invention
artifacts of feedback
myth and convention
but when the
drift carries me off so easily
it's a little harder
So I say a bit queasily
lead me not
into the time of trial
till I get a little stronger
and turn back the dial

what

2.4685 : 3/01/18 : Grenade

Don't want to
be a poet
want to
lob a grenade
the better
to make sure
sons of bitches
get paid
oh my worse
impulses
Lord put them
to rest
For sure before
I know it
have to pass
another test

what

2.4684 : 2/28/18 : The Days

I'll find the game
I'm made for yet
I won't be gambling
on that bet
the game will tap
the power of plants
the music made
for planets' dance
the droning of
the insect choir
and if you should
stop to inquire
I'll tell you
I played ten thousand days
then you'll see
the method of the days
