Not doing requiems
tonight
nobody's really dead
just out of sight
And I'm planting seeds
with a seed machine gun
of my own design
Call me da Vinci's son
next up for production
the flying machine
next time around
you'll see quite clear what I mean

2.4950 : 11/21/18 : Final Touches
Didn't quite
put the final
touches on
been a while
don't got
my crutches on
It'll do but
must come
the reckoning
try to imagine
that world
beckoning
2.4949 : 11/20/18 : Plant
The Deal is
I can't plan for shit
this bind again
So sick of it
but should the
sickness
cease at last
You'll find me
downstream
holding fast
2.4948 : 11/19/18 : Part
The dumbest part
saying never again
I think I'm smart
know how
the show will end
the smarter part
would look to
glide above
the wisest values
only love
2.4947 : 11/18/18 : Say Nothing
Getting that say nothing urge
befitting a say nothing dirge
take down the old graffiti
oh be still your heart so bleedy
be no protest be no cry
a few might notice by and by
like back in ancient days
shut up in class professor says
is anything amiss with you
I bluffed it then I will now too
stomach's sour, no heart ease
So I'll say nothing if you please
2.4946 : 11/17/18 : March of Reasons
Run up a red kite
on a black string
The march of reasons
denying it could
be anything
Would make life easier
But I can't make
that hook catch
But is that sound I hear
somone
undoing the latch?
2.4945 : 11/16/18 : 7 Year
The seven year scracth
is coming on fast
I wouldn't exactly say
it's been a blast
I wouldn't exactly say
it hasn't been fun
I'll leave it to posterity
to figure out who won
oh if I can just get
my corner set up
I might yet justify
this ridiculous get up
2.4944 : 11/15/18 : Circling Dots
What are those
circling dots up there
rescue planes
or falling bombs
or buzzards
circling in the air
What can this
holding pattern mean
and should I hope it's
just been something in between

2.4943 : 11/14/18 : Passage
A passage of nights
now long forgotten
at least the reason
for the range
the reason for that
is rotten
only it has to happen
So who's to call
it foul or fair
but hard for sure
the hardest row anywhere
2.4942 : 11/13/18 : Slow Transformation
Slow
transformation
so slow
it's just a theory
I better let it go at that
before the morning gets
me bleary
though I've given up
on the surge
still yet
these beams may merge
2.4941 : 11/12/18 : Winner
Winter bites early
that's not all that's
biting
tell me I'm progressing
surely
why doesn't it feel
more exciting?
it's a weird little
catechism
in the middle of this mess
as I start to apprehend
sometimes more is less
2.4940 : 11/11/18 : Hex
Better gin up
the hex and
the hashes
exorcise the
dismal din
with divots
and dashes
better nonsense than
that prior gack
chew through the old views
like a snack

2.4939 : 11/10/18 : Pretend
Pretend pretend
Don't know what else
all the partisans
fooling themselves
but what does being smart
get anyone
not a dime
not another day in the sun
So am I giving up?
Heaven forfend
so until I'm feeling it again
guess I pretend, pretend
2.4938 : 11/9/18 : Living And
I was cooking up a
whole line
about the living and
the dead
but I just want to
shelve it now
Lay my head in bed
And put a punctuation
mark on one dumb part
the end of the era
of start and stop and start
2.4937 : 11/8/18 : Frantic
It's all part of the design
the frantic pace
keep my gimbals unaligned
Keep me in my place
I gotta gotta breathe deep
get my bearings straight
until I've got my line down
in my sleep
And at the cusp
I will not hesitate
2.4936 : 11/7/18 : Actually
Oh right but
I didn't actually
Well I had
a rough week
factually
and it isn't
but half done
and I'm not looking to
impress anyone
2.4935 : 11/6/18 : Face
Don't even want to
hold the place
want to get up in
someone's face
but I don't know
who
and does this place
seem so familiar to you
the bad kind of déjà vu
a dirty beige venue
2.4934 : 11/5/18 : Boss
It ain't a compliment
Look how we caved
I'd hate to be a boss
Nobody gets saved
I have to bring it in
nothing like a boss
never in charge of one thing
trust me it's your loss

2.4933 : 11/4/18 : Talent
Ghosts of raw talent
from before I was born
like I need the reminder
well I won't yield to scorn
not to be claiming
I'm getting anyplace
While more of my grin
falls out of my face
I reckon they'll patch me
back up again yet
like I patch up these bits
just the best I can get

2.4932 : 11/3/18 : The Joy
All I want
the joy the passion
jettison politics
commerce
fashion
if only you'd confirm
the art for
my pursuit
am I ignoring
the obvious
or waiting for a
dead tree to bear fruit
Sunday, November 02, 2025
2.4931 : 11/2/18 : Pivot
Saw what was coming
and tried to pivot
not quite an answer but
the answerman
won't give it
but hell I'll swing
right on and follow
through
try to shade the line
and prove my pivot true
2.4930 : 11/1/18 : Buy
Bring me something I can buy
I mean believe if you can take
the irony of putting it that way
I need a hope transfusion
credible and not delusion
and I need to be able to make it pay
and I guess that it's a little bit
better than the old time
brother act depression and rage
but when I boil it down it's
still a lot of what if what if
blame it like a weakling on the age
2.4929 : 10/31/18 : Hack
Stark reminder
I can't hack the abuse
anymore not getting
younger
and in the absence
of a muse
What do I know
but the daily attack
though you very
well may
go and call me a hack
