2.4898 : 9/30/18 : Jump

Jump before I get

dark as pitch

keep it to yourself

avoid the stitch

maybe next time

the fool's refrain

that stripped the snitch

and left a stain

That hexed my accounts

all loss no gain

old tricks have failed

so must retrain

what

2.4897 : 9/29/18 : Levels

6,000 levels

spot me another

forces of destruction

assemble, oh brother

we sure like to

daydream about

armageddon

but nothing's ever so neat

so don't get led on

what

2.4896 : 9/28/18 : Secret

It's got a secret

Annex

a bonus track

likely no one ever

see it

probably best

it's sort of an attack

of peevishness

well and not much

has changed

and yet and still

I refuse to be estranged

what

2.4895 : 9/27/18 : Flying

Flying on a lucky chance

and will get popped surely

meanwhile the mythic pop

gets phased up and

Swirly

And oh if I could drum that

gorgeous nonsense into life

If only I could feel the

way I thought I'd be

stalwart to strife

Screw it I'm sick of the

pepe talk and the self-help

need to lock a flight pattern

because I'm no whelp

what

2.4894 : 9/26/18 : The Thresher

Climb out

before the walls

get steeper

am I still hoping

this thing is a

Sleeper

four pop shots

aren't getting

any fresher

pray some revelation

and on its heels

the thresher

what

2.4893 : 9/25/18 : Shake

What I can't shake

like the book states:

remains

Getting wound up

about my

aches and pains

I dial it back

but it comes 'round

all the same

bringing to mind a

parable

of moths 'round a flame

what

2.4892 : 9/24/18 : Father Of

Father of performance

Art

or so to speak

I heard your part

was getting thin

See through

that great

Eye

from Outside in

what

2.4891 : 9/23/18 : Pitches

So maybe I'm the one

who showed all my pitches

say change is imminent

that's got you in stitches

and ready to wind up

send my next one to the stands

everybody gets up

and claps their hands

or maybe I hold you off

for another round

think I'll still measure short

anyway, pound for pound

what

2.4890 : 9/22/18 : 13 Billion

Thinking about your

13 billion and change

things today really

aren't that much

more strange

your golden platter

and you sexy sketch

might do as well again

in my lifetime

but it'll be a stretch

what

2.4889 : 9/21/18 : Leaves

Like leaves

a'turning green

sure thought that fall

would turn to spring

didn't foresee winter

fell so dark

but here I am

here still the spark

what

2.4888 : 9/20/18 : Over

Am I getting

over it

or just getting

used to it

Oh no back

here again

This damn thing

used to fit

what

2.4887 : 9/19/18 : Holes

Cut holes through time

disrupt the air

creator of causality

a thoroughfare

anything to elevate

pierce the mundane

and quell the chatter

in the small brain

a lot of talk

but will it ever put up

holes in the plot

and just trying

to get a foot up

what

2.4886 : 9/18/18 : Pile

Pretend I'm stacking

charging the pile

preparing the outfitting

for the masterful mile

It all looks lovely

if you just don't pay heed

That just keep going nowhere

at astonishing speed

what

2.4885 : 9/17/18 : Come Up

Come up right on it

Won't get it together

to see the big peak on

ro roll in the heather

how in the hell do we

steer through this skid

Supposed to steer into it

easier said huh kid

eye on the one thing

I know I can do

Pierce with the needle

and pull the thread through

what

2.4884 : 9/16/18 : This Routine

This is routine

And the conclusion

doesn't bear repeating

avert your eyes from

this deceased horse I'm beating

easy and on tap

And it's the perfect fit

for this played out

crap

what

2.4883 : 9/15/18 : Tempus

Old tempus

just keeps fugit-ing

surely as deep Sound

rolls in, Puget-ing

will becomes is

surely as is becomes was

futureman beyond all

he'll do as he does

and if this marks

anything

I'll likely forget

in a morass of moments

I haven't

got to yet

what

2.4882 : 9/14/18 : Plot

Been a while really

since I really lost the plot

and if I rise above

what have I got

oh well whatever

not going to dwell

sit around with the

plot undeveloped a spell

what

2.4881 : 9/13/18 : Limitation

Kind of digging on the limitation

strictly proscribe the act of creation

none of these gangly run on lines

stick to the fork, 3-4 tines

long past thinking I'll crack the nut

just another morning, get up 10-hut

sew it up again at the other end

a line or twenty float around the bend

and probably time to hang up

already slipping, feel the bang up

tie you a real neat bow

follow through and keep it low

what

2.4880 : 9/12/18 : Magic

Gave up on magic and

the fantasy escape

got all dragged down

tangled up on red tape

don't know if I miss it

just so much to do

as the days fritter by

and mundane bricks

accrue

what

2.4879 : 9/11/18 : Now You See Me

Now you see me

another question

would you want to

Whole lot of nothing

the next hassle

will amount to

for all my

worries

it just grinds along

and I've got a

dark inkling

about this next song

what

2.4878 : 9/10/18 : Walk in the Park

All been misunderstanding

it's a walk in the park

not a thing to get hung up

not a shot in the dark

getting lined up like pins

roll them down the line

so the world has big problems

I won't make them mine

what

2.4877 : 9/9/18 : Embrace

Trying to embrace

is it really a race

or just a sliding

am I gliding? Eliding

red herrings abound

far from the big sound

stil debating minutiae

till ugly facts deluge you

what

2.4876 : 9/8/18 : Opinions

All the opinions

I'm sick of it

Some make it pay

the trick of it

I don't want that

I want to raise

an honest take

See how that plays

what

2.4875 : 9/7/18 : Blame

I thrash around

to pin the blame

for the back cloud

but it's most likely

all on me

best sing it loud

hope to go down easy

stay there long

and hope this mood

disperses

when a fellow can't

fake it all

I guess he rehearses

what

2.4874 : 9/6/18 : Unseen

The long unseen

the ironic

callback

Same dear

best try

land on

same hack

what

2.4873 : 9/5/18 : Accept

Accept? Or kick

Am I still on this schtick?

It'll all be forgotten

in seven long years

that's a trick to make me look up

pull a wry smile

throw the book up

and hope it's not

a joke so stale

it truns to wry tears

what

2.4872 : 9/4/18 : Symmetry

Already tripped up

all my pretty symmetry

Sure won't string along

thing thing indefinitely

pass down and crown

some last hour

try to feel the spark ghost

of a long lost power

what

2.4871 : 9/3/18 : Brief Yearning

Live up to the name

wake up to the same

guess I'll be learning

to keep things brief

as yearning

and brilliant as pain

oh it's all in your brain

just like every delight

that snaps out like a light

what

the trick to letting these days go

Well ding dang it, I came to the end of another volume in the middle of a posting continuity gap.  Albeit it a day late, The Exultation closed out ASAD volume 2.22, Tools for Knowledge. Let's steam right along and open volume 2.23, being titled Original Maps Project, or, "Figure out how to figure it out".

what

2.4870 : 9/2/18 : The Exultation

The exultation

leads to the expected report

could easily take the edge off

but I'm trying to be a sport

long hours

not much to show

will I ever find the trick

to letting these days go

but what the hell

I'm still winning as expected

and I might just find a twist

when all the ballots are collected

what

2.4869 : 9/1/18 : Shawshank

Want to bust out of this habit

like Shawshank prison

Warden's not answering me

maybe get somewhere with his son

Oh how will this one

be different than most

Remember care thanks

heart ideas time toast

So here's to all my other

last hurrahs

here's to booking right past

any thought might give me pause

add up the numbers

and call it a day

and day will come and

with the sun a hopeful ray

what
