2.2899 : 04/10/13 : Inefficient

Been inefficient lately
shirking and whiney
still really fortunate
most of my worries tiny
know there's no use talking
about turning things around
I just gotta bust
and grind for the big sound
still believe in it
though it seems so far off
the other side of many days of toil
this weary debt trough
but I must believe
I will rectify my deficiency
in the cradle of work
and the pursuit of efficiency

what

2.2898 : 04/09/13 : Bleats

The same repeats
how many bleats
will I emit
While I wait
for my remit
not one promise
not one plan
and now I must off to see
a horse about a man

what

2.2897 : 04/08/13 : Rules

The rules constrain
or I would prowl
So I give it up
with a nasty growl
but I keep it locked
this side of the skull
and the hate of rules
eats into my hull

what

2.2896 : 04/07/13 : Struggle

The struggle again
this place, the pen
the hope that just will not fade
dreaming in the sunlight
dozing in the shade
I should be glad for the work
incessant
I should be thankful
about just being present
I should stop struggling
and find my stroke
there is no fate
but my own bespoke

what

2.2895 : 04/06/13 : Demons

Demons and ugly
things they whisper
a witch with a hump
that hissed with a lisp, her
yellow eyes sparking
the hate and the spittle
Believe me you don't want
a tour of my little
beehive wobbling
on my shoulders
bound with iron
full of boulders
Got so sick of the demons
I dreamed of the bomb
a spectacle that
didn't shut them up long

what

2.2894 : 04/05/13 : The Thing

The thing's
no matter what you say
the next day comes
or if not
Well that's an Ess Ee Pee
Sure ask Dee En Ae
whoa you can't: right: see?
Another hero of mine
Cut down just yesterday
torn between raw angry loss
and gratitude
for the shown way
and still pray
Someday
to see and feel, know
that's the thing
my thing, my this not next
my realm where I'll be king

what

2.2893 : 04/04/13 : Duty Sheet

About the only time I
know what I'm doing
when I'm not chasing scratch
or down-and-out boo-hooing
though I might wear
a preacher's clothes
don't want my profession
to be like those
fed up turning turning
In this extreme proscription
tired of the false build-up
please cancel my subscription
I will pine no more
for the big show
I'll humbly line up for my
duty sheet
and quietly go

what

2.2892 : 04/03/13 : Doomsday News

They got a new flu
a missile threat
I'll have to move into a hole
if I don't want to get
the doomsday news
It never happens
except they say it always does
what will be will be
but will it become what was
the doomsday news
they say everything's getting better
or possibly much worse
I guess watching all these signs
is some kind of human curse
the doomsday news

what

2.2891 : 04/02/13 : Spent

I contemplate an hour
not well spent
the mountain looms
I didn't make a dent
and I'm still sliding down
the same old slope
protesting whining
I am such a dope
I can't pronounce
can't even look at it
loaded the oscilloscope
and took a hit
and thought not once
about the coin I spent
can't bear the prospect
and so off I went

what

2.2890 : 04/01/13 : The Lark

May I rise
shall I rise
the hell
do I want to rise
as the lark
a little tired
of the spark
just to confess
seeking something
to express
oh could you not
style me as the lark
it knows its song
it needs no mark
to stand and sing
to be that
I'd give anything

what

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?

what

2.2888 : 03/30/13 : Blocks

Sure like to push around
these made-up blocks
We want fun in this world
but money talks
Soon we'll all pay in coin
that isn't there at all
and heaven knows
what goes before that fall

what

2.2887 : 03/29/13 : Game

I can get caught up thinking
how heaven could beat the heat death
but before I start that spiral
think I better take a deep breath
and try to focus on
not letting all drift on the same
As clearly it is time to up my game
It means going slower
and taming all distraction
hearing out the critics
working harder getting traction
most of all ignoring fantasies
of easy victory
the game is up oh mind
and no more will you inflict on me

what

2.2886 : 03/28/13 : Solipsism

Maybe everybody
will have left by when
and if it's even still around
who knows what
will happen then
the perils of solipsism
thought I was
a stand up guy
well some days all we get
is getting by

what

2.2885 : 03/27/13 : The Chamber

This is probably not the way
I don't know the way
I know it gets redundant
I don't know what else to say
Sometimes I just want
to slack it all
from end to end
stuff the shell in the chamber
and hit send

what

2.2884 : 03/26/13 : The Excuse

What's the excuse?
just want to feel
hot, nice
time of my own
so small
everyday life
so little spice
do I need an excuse?
Heaven knows I sacrifice
but still there's consequence
but still
there's a price

what

2.2883 : 03/25/13 : Spring Thaw

I turned over so many leaves
You thought I was an autumn day
but in the spring thaw oh baby
You'll learn about my hidden way
While this djinn that dogged me all
my life was napping in the gloom
I unearthed the all the secret works
I'd wrought out in the upper room
for this meal that you waited on
my cup raised in remembrance
for those I couldn't say goodbye to
I hope someday I'll have the chance
to say hello in other realms
though my wish is absurd to some
I hold it as a wisdom tale
from my spring thaw to kingdom come

what

2.2882 : 03/24/13 : The Virtual

Up too late exploring
the virtual
the master said
seek and you'll find
so search you will
another day
if there's a dollar
hey surprise
but it felt like an
adventure
so I'll cope
and not despise

what

2.2881 : 03/23/13 : By Numbers

By numbers it's disgusting
and it tells no lies
should be we could beat it
but it's beat me damn my eyes
I see where it's leading
feel helpless as a leaf
drifting in the aimless torrent
so much lost of what's so brief
try try try not to think on it
and all my friends in even deeper
this is the harrowing that's driving us crazy
the merciless numbers goad awake the sleeper

what

2.2880 : 03/22/13 : Dun Dun Dun

I am ready to
dun dun dun
oh
You know I know you know
When I'm going to feel it
and that's when I say
I am ready to
dun dun dun
kookoo kachoo
and a little bit of
sweet
I could stop
anytime that I wanted
I am ready to
dun dun dun
dun dun dun

what

2.2879 : 03/21/13 : Whirlwind

Couldn't have been just
a dust devil no
I know a whirlwind
I know it just so
When physics makes God's stylus
descending from the wall cloud
You never did nothing
That You didn't do it loud
that answer kind of looks like
Can you shout above this?
That answer kind of sounds
like "hey you really kind of
take the piss"
little man what
you got to say for yourself now
He stood his ground
so it's to him I bow

what

2.2878 : 03/20/13 : Job

You'll see how I mean to rhyme it
if you push and probe
it's just a notion that's
been rattling 'round my frontal lobe
everyday I'm dodging
every dart you lob
Dear what the hell is
supposed to be my real job
why don't we all get born
with a golden ticket
an instruction manual
to lead us through this thicket
Oh I know about the book
but let me whisper in your ear
nobody can agree on it
down here it's just not clear
to put it cleanly down
I'm plain perplexed
I even dare to wonder
if the answer's to be found in text
and if your plan for me
insists I truly rise above the mob
I'm going to need a sign
that points to something more than just a job

what

2.2877 : 03/19/13 : What's My Name

What's my name?
foundering, dissolving
don't I wish
no this thing that's revolving
So weary trying to deem
if my fate is my fault
if I could reverse fortune
with one frontal assault
hating having this feeling back
what's my name?
the one who wasted waiting
daydreaming
of the ship that never came

what

2.2876 : 03/18/13 : Ever the Same

If I'm never the same
is the river still a river
if you gave to that one
are you a take back giver
if you take it from me
like candy from a baby
is just everything change
nothing ever the same maybe
and is that your game
can there be a point in that case
all random flux
and no winning that race
am I off the hook
I'll be gone in one minute
talk to who's next in line
tell that sap to begin it

what

2.2875 : 03/17/13 : The Test

Is this passing
or failing the test
should I have waited
until I could do my best
or is that what this is
well look at me
So deep and wise
way into the moment
and look you can
believe your eyes
everything will change
my structures will
get screwed up royal
I hope to hell when
it's all done I can
say I was loyal
and just forget about
the rest
never knowing if
I passed or failed the test

what

2.2874 : 03/16/13 : Math

Name the price on
what they claim to be a
magic bullet
I can't afford it so
I guess stuff more crow
down my gullet
And if it's not my answer
guess I'd have
to eat the cost
Meanwhile it doesn't take a cent
to moan and wail
the cause is lost
and I am just attacking
how I scorn
a mundane path
one way or another
help or no
I've got to do the math

what

2.2873 : 03/15/13 : The Glimpse

The Glimpse into the past
reveals too much
the principle of cycles
my clumsy touch
100 just reasons
to throw in the towel
the plow, the sword,
the telephone and the trowel

what

2.2872 : 03/14/13 : Easier

Insist you try another yoke
easier, lighter
You don't have to prove to me
I know you're a fighter
hate to be insistent
but you're hard to slow down
this can be collaboration
If you don't make it a throw down
take it easier
the world won't founder
you will heal faster
if you be still and don't flounder
I know it's hard for you
I know it in my wrists and feet
but even as you rest
this work in you is being made complete

what

2.2871 : 03/13/13 : Unlimited

Try to believe I am unlimited
try to believe in my wealth
Superabundant
am I making it
hell I'm not even faking it
try to believe
that I'm not simply redundant
You'd be hard pressed
to convince me there's a reason
these days I'm doubting
there's even an explanation
just a bunch of stuff that reacts
all breaks down to lifeless facts
this ball of wax
you couldn't call it a creation
Say there's strength in weakness
say the unlimited
lurks in the small
I'd love to believe
but I'm begging for reprieve
because I can't find the end
of my limitations at all

what

2.2870 : 03/12/13 : Feelings

When you can't stand
the feelings no more
or bear to think
about what's all in store
What else to do
but relent, retire
pray heaven deliver
me from the wire

what

2.2869 : 03/11/13 : Breaking

Ready or not
there is a breaking point
a real thing
not some abstract joint
Can't seem to put my finger
on my values
what I really believe
do I have any
vision of life
is purpose a thing you receive

what

2.2868 : 03/10/13 : Stand

Forced to stand so
shorter and sweeter
you're about as subtle
as a damn egg beater
you're about as subtle
as a hammerhead
and I've had all I can stand
so let it be read

what

2.2867 : 03/09/13 : Straw

Am I going to come up
talk about that last straw
knowing what I know
Lord and what a slackjaw
Never mind this pass
clumsy stab at a fierce howl
nobody to care
or hear me if I cry foul

what

2.2866 : 03/08/13 : Whatever I Can Build

Whatever I can
build in weakness
do away with
optimism
do away with
platitudes
and the attitudes
of destiny's prism
see a world
that's meant for nothing
no transcendence
no mortal end
whatever I can
build with doubt
unknowingness
dark ways I wend

what

2.2865 : 03/07/13 : No Bottom

No bottom
sunk in this channel
so much
so I handle every
what would
what would
constitute a difference
do I want to know
how low
hell I can make an inference
all I can do
not to be ruled by fear
hope not to test
the feeling there's no
bottom here

what

2.2864 : 03/06/13 : The Object

What if the object
is very immovable
and I turn out to be
very resistable
the final joke is
the theory's unprovable
my faults so many
they may be unlistable
all these ideas
and time for just one
it feels like the problem
but still I am dubious
some mental block
some aversion to fun
and my process for change
so inane and lugubrious
what if the object
is not there at all
and I turn out to be
exerting no force
how in the hell do
I kick off this wall
start again start again
all I've got of course

what

2.2863 : 03/05/13 : Kinder

Kinder gentler
the only course
I believe in more than half
think about
where I heard it
what can you do you have to laugh
the thousand points of light
the bridge to the future
can I get a stiff one to cope with it
can I get a little hooch here
to take the edge off
get a little kinder
nobody told me
it'd be such a grinder
but I will gentle
before the grim machine
and breeze through its pores
before it knows what I mean

what

2.2862 : 03/04/13 : Bread (2)

Read my own words
on the decisive break
Cleave to the real
what even God
can't shake
but is it in me
to take my own advice
feel like I said it
ten times more than twice
it isn't obvious
What's to be done
of if I'm just as called
as anyone
if I should fake it
or just wait and kick
if I make a break for it
could it possibly stick?

what

2.2861 : 03/03/13 : Buck

But I can't accept this trend
So I must buck it
Envisioning the gold
dreaming I struck it
Don't need no list
there isn't any bucket
you thought you had me but
that rose I will not pluck it

what

2.2860 : 03/02/13 : Converge

Nothing is rising
and nothing will converge
the plateau turns out to be
ten thousand times the surge
the pie is shrinking
and so is our share
And I never said I wouldn't
say I told you so
so there

what

2.2859 : 03/01/13 : Consequence

You start out thinking you're so smart
You figure out how dumb you are
sooner or later
And the look on my face
When I'm feeling that slap
may well convince you that I am such a hater
but it's just the blinding light
When it all makes sense
and you stand before
the unbending logic of the consequence
This world's about things
that make sense but aren't fair
the reach of youth's
dumb decisions
sometimes make you stand and stare
of course you wound up
in this boat
of course you face this wall immense
of course of course of course
it winds up
just you and your consequence

what

2.2858 : 02/28/13 : Advice

No use in my stupid words
no use in my advice
no use in my stupid dreams
utopia
sweet paradise
Who would listen to a fool
attend his stupid yap
Why am I too much the fool
to learn to shut my stupid trap
When did it all get like this
unbearable
beyond advice
what could pull us out of it
what magical device

what

2.2857 : 02/27/13 : More

When did I lose track
of what anything's for
when did it all get to
be about more more more
when will the break
and new direction come
when's the next time
I'm gonna get some get some
I'm not sophisticated
I'm not brilliant
I try to get attention
but ti's all just a stunt
I keep looking looking
for the right door
following the siren song
of more more more

what

2.2856 : 02/26/13 : Break

Here is the rock
where the tide will break
here's the real answer
to what's at stake
while my belief
absorbs blow after blow
I contemplate that breaking point
when you just know
look in my hand
baby that's not dust
So have no fear
baby of moth and rust
my treasure spot
rests in the lea of the break
and soon I will
reach out and take

what

2.2855 : 02/25/13 : Straightener

I'll run a steel
mated to an electric eel
right up my spine
the straightener all will be fine
concoct a potion
called the past eraser
I'll stand true
none shall replace her
and when the
corrupt column is true
oh what I'll
reveal to you

what

2.2854 : 02/24/13 : Survival

A ragged thong
wrapped round a bone
a wooden hook
a soapstone hone
don't give me your
survival shit
Ain't no one
walking free from it
Why don't I snap
why don't I howl
You know I ain't
such a wise owl
I'm going feral
even so
I'm breaking down
like Ragueneau
To tell the hero's
sad reveal
that white Panache
I'll never feel

what

2.2853 : 02/23/13 : Right Back To

This sick world
and no high ground for my claiming
and no end to it in sight
and my sighing, and my shaming
I could walk away
but what shall I walk toward
God help me
right back to the drawing board

what

2.2852 : 02/22/13 : The Excuses

Sick of rolling with the punches
keeping my chin up
sick of the excuses
the optimists gin up
Oh and I wanted
not to talk of it at all
but it's that time of year
and it's the usual wall
and if not this
there's not a lot to tell
actually fantastic
you can all go straight to hell

what

2.2851 : 02/21/13 : Horrorshow

A misuse of imagination
this modern horror show
between better you than me
and there but for the Grace of God I go
is the butterzone
sweet utopia
Oh baby I'll come I'll climb
that slippery slope with ya
I know I kinda been running
crash raids on it
but when you feel me
call the glory of God upon it
Ain't nobody be talking about the horrorshow
and when we get it back oh baby there we go

what

2.2850 : 02/20/13 : Stall

This self reference
pathology
will not yield to
microbiology
and if I'm fit to give
any advice at all
distract yourself
and failing that:
stall

what

2.2849 : 02/19/13 : Good Not Grim

The dream
of beams of black
and a point of pain
brought on the attack
If I could modify
the world to suit my whim
how would I really make it
good not grim
I said it once
and damn it I was right
first of all I would say
please more light
and thought it's been said
many times before
my firm injunction
would be love, not war

what

2.2848 : 02/18/13 : Sprockets

Another long night in the works
Victim of the unplanned invasion
Everybody's occupied one way or another
the dumb pathology of brand and station
to what end again I say to what end
money and power are we really such dull sockets
well too what end the virus in my guts
is it any different, self-replicating sprockets
no matter what I do it'll come again
one day the one I can't get on top of
maybe the seeds already long planted
we're all planted for the final stop off
anyway that's the easy cop
sure we'll all die guess you could drop it there
but for today my sprockets are still ticking
and it somehow still feels they could take me anywhere

what

2.2847 : 02/17/13 : No Apology

No apology
for thin blank verses
for reused phrasing
God damn my curses
I crawled up far enough
just to shake my fist at the sun
and fell back into a hazy mire
with a feeling something had begun

what

2.2846 : 02/16/13 : Always a Lightning Bolt

Always a lighting bolt
consequences great or small
that causes me to stumble
that causes me to fall
I try to get back up
so weak so very tired
sick of sickness metaphors
and the illusions they inspired

what

2.2845 : 02/15/13 : Real

This thing is happening
this thing is going on
and if this next thing don't work out
I must keep rolling on
get past these hangups
of the starting and the real
it's all been real enough always
no matter how I sometimes feel
hope is real but
doesn't mean all will be well
Please teach me to push into it
not rushing not pell mell
but not to draw back always
sudden scared at all the real
since every moment dragging feet
regret will surely steal

what

2.2844 : 02/14/13 : Funny

Bring the funny back
it will outlast the sexy
I need it super bad
when it all starts to vex me
You are my funny girl
and to me there's no other
and the long road
who knew how long brother
there's anger inside
sadness fear self-doubt
make it crazy funny
work those funny demons out

what

2.2843 : 02/13/13 : Any Change is Fine

What I seem to think I want
is not on offer
Oh how I need to open my heart
to my lot
the next bend in the road
is always blind
And that's all I and
the whole world have got
Considering how I feel
about the state of things
why argue: almost
any change is fine
and opening my heart to
how's the only thing
in the whole universe
that can make the moment mine

what

2.2842 : 02/12/13 : Pleases

I can't think
right now of what pleases
focus on what is to hand
pray the lock releases
can't be more
off the reservation
than the last five years
and if you
want me for creation
well baby
here's my ears

what

2.2841 : 02/11/13 : Vibe

I asked for good vibes
but this one inside is nasty
wanting to lash out
while every day gets past me
I seek I seek out
wherever is my Good Vibe
oh for a labeled bottle
instructing me to imbibe

what

2.2840 : 02/10/13 : Hiding

What am I hiding from
in this indecision thicket
Why am I so terrified
to say okay and pick it
but is it really fear
it's something else, evasion
not like this about everything
why does this feel like invasion
what am I hiding from
is it feeling normal, boring
the chances lost forever
something deeper I'm ignoring
check heaven's lost and found
for a clue where my bliss is at
not sure it's real but I know
for sure it's not this or that

what

2.2839 : 02/09/13 : Promise

Promise it's the last
off hand
off the cuff repast
I'll make it a lie
by and by
but that's the way of flesh
the way we always
hit refresh

what

2.2838 : 02/08/13 : Let It Go

I said that I would
let it go
but suddenly I
said well, no
Nothing fucking matters
and that's so rad
because there's no consequence
for doing it bad

what

2.2837 : 02/07/13 : Ode to the Poetry Magnets I Found Under the Fridge

To eat -
or
Are to tree

what

2.2836 : 02/06/13 : Chipping

How long can I
get away with
chipping in this
sorry way?
See no real
reason I can't
just repeat it
every day
better than
the speaking of
What's been said
and said and said
better than
to reveal
what is whirling
round in my head

what

2.2835 : 02/05/13 : Telephone

Put my finger into
the dictionary
put my finger into the good book
in the age of the intelligent telephone
It's anachronistic but let's take a look
I could roll up for
the twenty two volumes
pick any Labor Day you like
feel like it would do as well
as thinking more
feels like I'm lobbing fouls
just dodging that third strike
give me a mission damn it
I have not been called up
I've been waiting by the telephone
I read it's just another
symptom of the syndrome
but I want to hear it straight
from you alone

what

2.2834 : 02/04/13 : No Answers

Maybe there are no answers
Maybe that's the core of everything
Maybe answer is a misnomer
Maybe there's just the bell and the ring
Maybe truly nobody has got it
Maybe everybody is a fake
Maybe there's nothing wrong with it
Maybe nothing is at stake

what

2.2833 : 02/03/13 : Play

too dull
not enough play
bad paradigm
but I don't know the way
to break it
and remake it
if that's even the model
and cannot tell
the axle
from the throttle

what

2.2832 : 02/02/13 : Minutes

What was that thing you said
about minutes
and revisions
past getting all worked up
over century-old visions
but I thought that I was
onto something
out of my own long ago
and fit for 2020 thoughts
though where I'l be then
I don't know

what

2.2831 : 02/01/13 : Produce

If one is too bitter to produce
and if one can't get past
oh what's the use
When can I stop
When can I stop
waiting for the drop
put away
every childish thing
that tune plucked out upon
an slack old string
when can I stop
when can I halt
I already said it was all my fault

what

2.2830 : 01/31/13 : Beautiful Things

For a minute my mind
was filled with beautiful things
I didn't hold onto it
and that plumb always swings
hold still hold still
bring to rest straight down
resist the urge to vent my extreme
humors on this town

what

2.2829 : 01/30/13 : Nothing Nice

Nothing nice
to talk about
no nice trips
no going out
cold as hell
and no good plans
no spirit guides
no superfans
and sick as hell
of this same old
and no surprise
after the fold

what

2.2828 : 01/29/13 : From Within

From within
the radiant
peeling back
your wax shell
on a gradient
the metamorphosis
proceeds
how differs this from
transformation?
ends ways and heeds
the paradox that
simply everything
must be ordained
proceeding from within
reverent
and unrestrained

what

2.2827 : 01/28/13 : How Do We Begin Again

How do we
begin again
it's the best question
since original sin
the question of that story
is where did you go
the real twist
they all missed
is even God didn't know
the moment we hide
from the truth
is the beginning of the end
of sweet brief days
of paradise
and since that ship sailed 'round
that bend
we have to begin again
do it a hundred times a day
the trick to how is dull as dirt
and just might
steal your breath away

what

2.2826 : 01/27/13 : Sickness

the sickness
hit again
could not
get it in
I said that
it was done
will this time
be the one
I doubt it
but I have to
act the part
it makes me laugh, too

what

2.2825 : 01/26/13 : Advantage

Take advantage of the moment
also it beats thinking
hey at least I'm not smoking
hey at least I'm not drinking
Hey I don't know what I'm doing
Or what fate might be imbuing
and I don't feel like
the advantage is mine
and you told me to live in it
well sure for you that sounds fine
But I have been taken advantage of
by my short sighted ways
but in absence of a better plan
I guess this odd duck stays

what

2.2824 : 01/25/13 : Building

I've got a jones to get building
but get tangled in the run up
if this were a movie
or a video game (hah)
why I'd just get my gun up
and shoot my way
through the obstacles
Shoot my way through the choices
so much better than working things out
and hearing all the voices
you may say that's no way for building
you have to choose and take your pick
I'll say whoa look out behind you
then shoot right through your rhetoric
but I've got no gun and it's true
You must choose what's too be built
but you still need bricks and mortar
and they charge you to the hilt
and if you don't have the coin to pay
you won't build anything
but same old castles in the air
at my age that's worse than nothing

what

2.2823 : 01/24/13 : Breaker

Here take the breaker
of this string
of my neglecting
the resting
and the silence
but oh never the reflecting
disbelieving
in the journey
of the partisans and spies
sad about
my sad companion
in it myself
up to my eyes

what

2.2822 : 01/23/13 : Heroes

Can I get a ride from someone
on my hero's journey
I can help out with gas
I you want to burn one I
can probably score a little
I don't really do it anymore
but I've really got to get
to what I've got in store
Old Jung said that I was stuck
still refusing to grow up
and the only cure is work
well what about instead to blow up
I'd be thrilled to bow my head
I'll take any work you give me
let the journey be within
destination be to live free

what

2.2821 : 01/22/13 : Waiting for Life

Waiting for his
life to begin
no ship coming
no escape for him
he is no writer
but he dreams all day
and what do
these strange pictures say
sure there's still
 a lot to see
but he's got
responsibility
and he's not
waiting anymore
but he didn't
close the door

what

2.2820 : 01/21/13 : Freeze

I wish I could
distill this freeze
I'd stop all murders
you don't have to say please
freeze the injustice
freeze all wars
freeze out fear
and bring everyone
indoors

what

2.2819 : 01/20/13 : Don't Remember

The thing about forgetting
is you don't remember
I can't wait around this time
for next December
I can't wait a minute
Not one holiday
it has to be this moment
though there's no one
to hear what I say

what

2.2818 : 01/19/13 : Surrender

Between surrender
and war
here's what
the fighting was for:
invisible lines
and compulsions
enthrone irrational
revulsions
I'll pick up the dice
and take what comes
a surrender flag
or war drums

what

2.2817 : 01/18/13 : Slop

I'll just sling some slop out
for the pig of my ambition
well and far beyond the point of
feeling I am on a mission
no it seems more a random walk
engaged in by a drunken crab
and bad enough the every day
the runaround, the daub and drab
paste on my imaginary
empire of almighty text
It shouldn't be a task for you
to see how it is I am vexed
and waiting for the next insult
and waiting for the axe to chop
and while I wait dear pig of mine
I'll sling another cup of slop

what

2.2816 : 01/17/13 : Crunch

Cannot get this
tension out
this muscle clench
this crunch
or shake this
bloody feeling
that I played
a rotten hunch
this sickness
it is anxious fear
anger, envy
torpid lust
don't ask me about
it's object right now
any prick
could pierce this crust

what

2.2815 : 01/16/13 : Respite

To hell with it
I'll take my respite
won't state the resolve
or try to test it
every so often
you get a thing done
have a little rest boy
have a little fun

what

2.2814 : 01/15/13 : Drone

When it comes around
years from now
jut slap on a drone
and take another bow
if this is the new sound
God strike me deaf
and pinion my wretched body
on the treble clef

what

2.2813 : 01/14/13 : Rot

The stress pouring in
from where it should not
do the right thing
what's that?
what rot!
by rot I mean bull
by bull I mean shit
sorry about the children
but someone better say it
I'm going to give up
truly pretty soon
I've got a thirty month
appointment
to howl at the moon

what

2.2812 : 01/13/13 : Teenage Century

And you know it was ugly
almost right from the start
and sure I was dirty
sure I played my part
and we'll reap this wind a
long long time evidently
apparent to all but the most obtuse
here at the dawn of this
teenage century
it's getting surly
getting secretive and quiet
well it's never been happy
it's always been violent
if it's an awkward phase well
we may not recover
grim signs and omens
in the fog and filthy air, Lover
said these days weren't
meant for me
but I ended up regardless
in this teenage century

what

2.2811 : 01/12/13 : Leech

Did I strike distraction
the fatal blow
doubtful sure and if I did
how would I know
but if I did
then oh what then
what might I reach
will it make a real difference
will it stem
this dreadful leech
past the point of buying
things will have to change
let the devil ring his course
the future to estrange

what

2.2810 : 01/11/13 : Wracking

Something wracking me
in my sleep lately
bowing my neck
paining me greatly
I say I need to relax
that's not the half of it
It's not funny anymore
and I can't laugh at it
because it's all quite real
because it's lately stacking
and I'm full up with it
and can't take much more wracking

what

2.2809 : 01/10/13 : A Piece

Everybody wants a piece
of this
but nobody wants to pay
That feeling you've been saying
Yes
and meaning no all day
So always to the wall
these days
So brushing by the wire
Dear heaven why this
dreaming still
Please why this fire?

what

2.2808 : 01/09/13 : I Feel It

This time the fix took
I feel it
the stones and the sticks shook
I feel it
Words never hurt but if
It's real it
Might help if it can cut it
I feel it
It never stops being work
I feel it
When I come off like a jerk
I feel it
With the glass onion in hand
I'll peel it
End up with on grain of sand
I feel it

what

2.2807 : 01/08/13 : Tale

here's the tale for the night
the hammer finally touched down
and everything was all right
I got at least that much down
who's got an excuse these days
for all the doomsday flacking
I'm turning over your displays
I'll show all what you're lacking

what

2.2806 : 01/07/13 : 2nd Protocol

Second protocol
this one gonna make it all
like I dreamed six years ago
ain't gonna take it
no more no
When I yank that stitch up
gonna yell for sure
but this trains got to hitch up
and my motive's pure

what

2.2805 : 01/06/13 : By Hand

Sure it feels normal
this skill
made by hand
free, not a shill
fourteen billion hands to use
again again
the machine says recuse
cheap books, ugly pens
Yet I come back
again and again
thinking this last time
I'll crack the code
remake it by hand
and watch my dream
and watch my dream
explode

what

2.2804 : 01/05/13 : IT

What would it look like?
What would it feel like?
Would I know if it
gave me a hard bite
Would it please me
What would it be called
Where would I go to have it installed
so little faith left that it even exists
a dream a fantasy lost in the mists

what

2.2803 : 01/04/13 : Real World

Back in the real world
Everybody fought
everybody ran out of money
everybody still bought
there was fighting everywhere
killing in the streets
everyone could see
it was a string of grim defeats
And I ask you
why on earth shouldn't I just dream
make up stories of the better way
because the real world makes me want to scream

what

2.2802 : 01/03/13 : Utopian

Go Utopian
not gonna fall asleep again
old way better catch me if you can
For from now on
this gospel plow's on
think bigger
banish no
more than a thousand
ways to go
refuse the no
the antique ismics
naysayers invited to
behold my diznix
Go no
apologies
I brushed the dust
off my knees
the last time
there the other day
now you get down
taken look at my way
plow on plow on
hitch your sacred cow on
what it produces I can burn
and ready or not the world will turn

what

2.2801 : 01/02/13 : No Resolutions

No resolutions
and look at this mess
It's not my fault I whine
I'm under duress
only one way
to redeem this failing
turn everything around
on a single inhaling

what

2.2800 : 01/01/13 : No Words

No words
for this thing
I must walk away from soon
far past the midnight
far past the moon
Speak of it never
let never be my word
and you please pretend
you never heard

what
