2.3542 : 1/13/15 : Wondering (Endless Axis 275/500)

Still wondering
what time's made of
and who makes it
Still wondering
what works this thirst up
What slakes it
will I stop wondering
or breathing first
Will time ever
dull this thirst?

2.3102 : 10/30/13 : 500 Books

Here's a deal
just tell me the first
of 500 books to
slake this thirst
for reinvention
transformation
in a day and change
I want whole recreation
will it be stories
or true events
will it tell technique
or sacraments
at the end of the day
will it show me
how to fly
I've wished it all
my life
and never really known why

2.3048 : 09/06/13 : Sell it All

Will I be an ad man
sell it all
fossil fuels
the bomb
a bridge
the fall
it's the height
of creativity
in the twenty first
I'll sell you
sugar water
till you die of thirst

2.2889 : 03/31/13 : Wicked Cruel

Apparently I hunger
apparently I thirst
it seems that I am selfish
and always think the worst
of men and situations
and women don't get me started
Apparently I'm wicked cruel
but I protest
I'm tender hearted
It all just came from dreams
and who can account for those
they don't tell me who I am
they can't tell me what I chose
and if the prose of it
doesn't really make my case
still take another look
how can you mistrust this face?

2.2700 : 9/23/12 : Left of Me

First did I want to be important
First did I want to be good
How did I think of what I ought
And is that the same as should
I listen to my betters
even as I do my worst
And when I try not to do
It bears down just like a thirst
And if I stopped asking, grasping
What on earth would I be
Put away so many things
So what is left of me:
a vicious tongue
turned inside out
so every lash
I get a clout
worries borrowed
begged and stolen
a life that feels
like a semicolon

2.2501 : 3/08/12 : The Library

Creating the
dream cathedral
from my mind
oh give me pages
till the pages
make me go blind
boiled down
to a slip as small
as a stamp
praise this
era of the Great Ramp
If it crashes
will the libraries survive
couldn't be
like any other, ever
somewhere
the information must thrive
and on the next
rebuild
the library comes first
because nothing else
can quench my thirst

2.2087 : 01/19/11 : Hungers

Dwelling in hungers
an unhealthy thirst
I've got not excuse
not to do my worst
turned too far inward
path out's obscure
and I'm loathe to rouse up
until I'm totally sure
and that isn't coming
and hungers just ramp
and I'm wishing I hadn't
let go of my amp

2.1936 : 8/21/10 : Thirsty

So thirsty
so very late
certain that the problem
will not dissipate
but in a day or three
might get a little relief
pray till then the master
does not steal in like a thief

2.1668 : 11/26/09 : Show

I took this show on the road
my head was fixed on the gauge
Points racked just for showing up
Points rack up natural as age
Nobody's watching no
Look nobody cares
You've got to screw up worse than that
then everybody stares
modest and quiet success
nobody gives a hoot
you got to get on the road
you got to aim and shoot
but I'm so satisfied
yeah I'm so bland, serene
I am a thousand times
bigger than any scene
You want to show me something
you better look here first
here's all heavy truth on you
Answer all calls with thirst

2.1077 : 4/14/08 : Free Will! Free Will!

Holy shit!
free will is back
better wake up pay attention
it’s a sneak attack!
free will free will
it’s a strange estate
I think it’s an illusion
but still true:
and great!
Oh man I can’t decide
What I’ll do first
satiate this hunger
or slake this thirst
I’m looking some disheveled
I’m feeling slightly tight
but I’ll exercise my free will
and not stay up all night
