Stupidly invoke
the alternate clause
running over the limit
calling it one last pause
hope to get over
in the hour that stretches
And break a kind
of record
by my own obscure laws

2.4982 : 12/23/18 : Wind Up
12 minutes with a book
get a month's long
wind up
I saw the pattern
hell and right away
I signed up
saved time and fit
the particular stage
and on and on
until
the next thing I grind up

2.4981 : 12/22/18 : 15 Ways
Routine I've seen
down fifteen ways
how it always
comes out ends of days
and make that 15
times a thousand
what should I hope
as it replays?
2.4979 : 12/20/18 : In the Margins
Good father watch
over my rest and pause
deliver me perspective
and inkling of the cause
oh to return with some
new fresh approach
found buried in the margins
the unloocked for clause
2.4978 : 12/19/18 : Bitter Middle
I'm sticking this out
to the bitter middle
You know I'm high
king of
the jot and dittle
this old philosopher
stargazer bard
Start striking sparks
While I warm up
my fiddle
2.4977 : 12/18/18 : COMEBACK
The just won't stop
slinging these comeback
dead
it ain't subtle
allegory not over my
head
We're up to our necks
in these corpse assholes' trash
And how we'd love to
find our own world
way instead
2.4976 : 12/17/18 : Better Medicine
Better medicine
Can't I just drift and
laugh?
lark off and
do all things by half
Oh this stumblebum
reeling crawl
what would be left
when we burned
the chaff?
2.4975 : 12/16/18 : Husk
That's the big laugh
My stuff's all husk
so never would I
tour or busk
So wholly on
the wrong limb's branch
As far from well
as dawn's from dusk
2.4974 : 12/15/18 : Pith
Is there a future
no gloss all pith
Someday to be a legend
amongst my kin and kith
will it come around
the long way and return
and will I still
be along with?

2.4972 : 12/13/18 : Tedium
If the tedium turns out
to get worse not better
to whom shall I write
my protesting letter
I bet you can feel me
if you really came this far
will this thing still feel
not prop but fetter?
2.4971 : 12/12/18 : BENT
I thought to cut it shorter
said get bent
Where else to do
When I've been sent
over the moon
and round the bending
never ending then
whoops there it went

2.4969 : 12/10/18 : Clock's Ticking
Clock's ticking
quickly on this homage
as usual with me
it's mostly soft fromage
transcribed directly
off the cuff
the better to be getting off
to some business
in the garage
2.4968 : 12/9/18 : Queer Trump
Queer trump
on an odd date
Not really sure
I can pay the freight
But there's one way
up and out
And no question at all
headed for that state

2.4967 : 12/8/18 : The Rhetoric
The funnymen
getting in the thinker game
Under the wrapper
it's all the same
every year I hate
rhetoric worse
but I suppose
it's not what's to blame
Sunday, December 07, 2025
2.4966: 12/7/18 : A Trice
Least favorite part
And not much of a start
but it will all fade in a trice
Anyway so why fret
nothing more will I get
and you don't have to tell me twice
that I got here myself
the same dumb guy shelf
volume on volume of dreck
Self-help and heroics
needs a dose of the stoics
or you know
One more throw of the dice

2.4964: 12/5/18 : Satire
Not a bit of trouble
in my heart over the satire
sticks and stones
you know my heart
and its strange fire
say what you will I'm
bored with the debate
but wait to hear
a single word that
will inspire
2.4963 : 12/4/18 : Flat
No none of it
nothing, flat
what do you
say after that
If I don't
shift that rut
guess I deserve the lead hat

2.4962 : 12/3/18 : Heated
Get heated
in a quiet funk
feeling the proverbial
pricks in my junk
and just keep
shouldering the weight
and the plan so far
seems pretty bunk
2.4961 : 12/2/18 : The Form
If all I really have to
do is keep the form
not like any of it pays
or keeps us warm
and the purpose
overall is dubious
But reality these days
isn't that the norm
2.4960 : 12/1/18 : The Fix
and still sometimes
I think I almost
see the fix
bypass the hateful
pack, get straight
into the mix
oh it all sounds
easy in your head
but this world is
getting old for
my dumb tricks
2.4959 : 11/30/18 : Routine
What's scary? That
I stick with this
routine
Really not a prayer
of getting out clean
Heavens if I ever
came to balance the facts
Would I really even
know what that would
mean?
2.4958 : 11/29/18 : Knack
Why am I feeling
a little bit sick
Whatever the knack
of the thing
I lost the trick
and oh I'm floating
about along three feet
and no clue of
destination
and ain't that a kick?
2.4957 : 11/28/18 : String
Can't string along much
longer lining ducks up
a longer list of
what the devil mucks up
And still I pull and
pull and pull this string
And deal with whatever
that hairball
chucks up
2.4956 : 11/27/18 : Leisure
Am I at leisure
or just under the chase
I guess I better
get to finding a new place
If I brought every
single tiny thing I got
will I ever face the leisure
with a clear face
2.4955 : 11/26/18 : CONFLICT
Stare at the page
and get defeated
I know my refrains
and it's oft repeated
and though I'll have
to flag another
navelly gaze
Somewhere in deep
background
the conflict got heaed
2.4954 : 11/25/18 : This Condition
That five minutes thing
Oh yeah that
thought I had
Still could get
after that
cut rate
Scheherazade
though I know I cannot
talk my way out
of this condition still
things to get on about
2.4953 : 11/24/18 : Bad Deal
Try to turn this
ocean liner around
Sounds like a bad deal
yet I like the sound
of my big luxury
Ship of thought
take another token
to the slot
