2.5255 : 9/22/19 : Long Walk (The Experiment: 90/100)

Seeing hints of

one long journey ending

these parallel strands

Can get mind bending

Superstition makes me

want to see a turning point

the next day's sameness

I'll surely pay in every joint

Cultivate in the kingdom

maybe made sense way back

A couple hundred B.C. man

What would you make

of this time track?

The clever gadgets omnipresent

far too many

to keep as uncarved blocks

like a hell of complexity

see no solution

but a hundred long walks

what

2.5128 : 5/18/19 : Lead Inevitably

These efforts to mark

the turning point

lead inevitably

to failing

Until you reach

the breach

You cannot plan

your assailing

this night for sure

is a tale to be told

but I've not heart now for telling

call it a tree

in some forest remote

a silence uninhabited

is felling

what

2.5044 : 2/23/19 : Invoke

Invoke the clause

no brilliant pause

no turning point

invoke annoint

the perpetual church

the un-return

what

2.4991 : 1/1/19 : Delusion

Landscape can't be all verges

So maybe it is delusion

Not tough to plumb the history

pinpoint the source

of my confusion

But it is what I arrived

at and the path is not so

clean

And the feeling of the

turning point

proves not always illusion

what

2.4984 : 12/25/18 : Carol

Better cheer

the big turnaround

Despite my obligation

good will might abound

Deliver me from

my downside

A carol of surprise

return make

Joyful sound

what

2.4828 : 7/22/18 : Second Wind

Is there any real chance

at a second wind

getting tired of rolling

and the halfway mark though pinned

on the chart upon the wall

marks no real turning point

maybe uphill twice as steep

all while I still don't get the point

any chance at some renewal

of the sense at least it moves

feeling now like circling tracks

deeply rutted in blank grooves

easy enough to keep on

might be harder to desist

So far still not pulling that thread

but it's on the secret list

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

2.4585 : 11/21/17 : Last Ditch

Yelled for something new

not at all what I meant

like I've got to tell you

hate to say you've got a cruel bent

praying for another

turnaround last ditch

hoping but hopeless

hope you think it's all a stitch

how long now how many

nasty surprises

supposed to be trying to thank it up

for your stingy backhand prizes

think I'll leave it sour and raw

throw the thanks

right in your craw

another dirty trick

I'm fed right up with

your schtick

what

2.4501: 8/29/17 : To Sustain

The turning of the year

required too much

to sustain for long

So left it at

the threshhold

with its plain song

what

2.4425 : 6/14/17 : Post Mortem

Post mortem on

possibility

is sneaking on up

won't be

surprising me

but for all the

talk talking

we can never agree

was it impossible

or did we just lose steam

or overindulge

too many trips

to the stream

guess I'll see it again

around that tricky bend

maybe a turning point

probably not the end

what

2.4404: 5/24/17 : WAYBACK

Things that go

way back

and when the

old static clears

something deeper

more orderly appears

all getting older

finding out there's worse

all a little overloaded

everywhere but the purse

someday all will merge

with the way back

tally every turning

and find no lack

what

2.4333 : 3/14/17 : Reign Doubt

No turnaround today

not giving it

the play

barely

scratching out

things as they

are so

let reign doubt

what

2.4146 : 9/8/16 : DIME

Throw down

that dime

I'm turning

tight

all for real

thrown down tonight

they're not going to

seem me wind

up the sucker punch

and wrap this

whole thing on

a hunch

what

2.3953 : 2/28/16 : Wreck of Truth

No turning point

or crises

and despite warning

about

futile devices

I'll voice a little

wreck of truth

your way

time ain't going

much of nowhere

and this race

is here to stay

what

2.3805 : 10/3/15 : Turning Point

Turn my face from

the seemingly unsolvable

swallow the exponential

problems consuming all

all for a microscopic

subset of the cosmos

but as the rest is locked away

sleaze right on up

and osmose

the wrong complexion

ideology

and tackle

I'll say it anyway

and maybe raise a hackle

not coming on like that

just looking for

a turning point

nobody else

is stepping up

so step back

here's my

pivot

joint

what

2.2683 : 9/6/12 : What I Pine For

Why can't I get behind
the comfort the relief
of unexamined faith
of purely blind belief
my brainy version's
never going to catch on
ever present doubts
scabs for the mind
to scratch on
Whatever could qualify
as a real turning point
Some twisting in my heart
Some pressure in my joint
Some outside circumstance
in secret what I pine for
wishing to believe in purpose
if faith for what mine's for

what

2.2681 : 9/4/12 : Correct

Neither upright nor correct
no doubt how the turning point gets wrecked
back to lurking fearing doom
more minutes I stay in this room
more days thy foe squats in the wild
come listen to his tale my child
the rebel, the unseemly eel
that lurked and gave us such a feel
no this is not correct I think
he fooled someone with magic drink
perhaps it was a slice of pie
I look but can't quite see the lie
but anyway it's we're bad
and always feel at being glad
but cheer up there's another tale
a correct word a way from fail
the tale of the gathered light
I'll tell to you another night

what

2.2604 : 6/19/12 : Turning Point

Even so there
has to be a turning point
and if it isn't
this:
Still there has to be
if there's
to ever be
a second chance
at what I still miss

what

2.2469 : 2/5/12 : Peace

Give me omens that I
want to believe in
give me a notion that it's
all about to begin
that I will soon fall
into a sweet release
and find nothing after
but a fine long peace
whatever work comes to my hand
the work of the cooperative
the work of the band
peace is all I want out of anything
no not recognition
no not a golden ring
once I felt a peace
that passed understanding
it wasn't an end of anything
it wasn't undemanding
I still had to pull up stakes
I still had to pack
it wasn't a turning point
but I still want it back

what

2.2188 : 04/30/11 : Past is Past

Past is past
and I'll put all thought
of it from mind
the turning point will be
hidden, none will find
some fragrance will be left
in a simple code
but I will turn my back
on what it might forbode

what
