2.4569 : 11/5/17 : Haywire

like all the

other weather

gone haywire

the cloud of evil

in a mire

in the gyre

circling and

circling

might just stay

and how the hell

do you blow it

away

what

2.4568 : 11/4/17 : Happy Hour

Spent my happy hour

like a happy buck

don't have to like me

but admit I've got pluck

I'll roll it up soon

but here's to you my friends

and this winding path that seldom

goes where anyone intends

what

2.4567 : 11/3/17 : Tame

Think i might be

fully tame

ask: how'd it happen

look for:

who to blame

so sad because

thought I was so wild

When you get so much

closer to being dead

than a child

do I want to

bust off the reservation

damn appropriationist

this is no

vacation

no manifesto

no hot art take

just another tame one

just a fake

what

2.4566 : 11/2/17 : Old Hat

Tired of this

tired of that

tired of tired

but that trick's old hat

should make a difference

but don't

should make me kick my spurs

but I won't

probably too late

to go sniffing up my sleeve

predictably nothing there

and I'd best just leave

but I'm not doing it

going to grind out the light

stay the crazy course

lucky if I don't stay up all night

what

2.4565 : 11/1/17 : HARP

This plodding harp

this dumb hum

and dad gum

how long can you milk

the persist refrain

the monotony

of a box freight crane

what I've been gathering

doesn't play

I recall no dreams

dark mornings blast away

only cobwebs behind

tangling up the harp

was I really once potent

was I ever sharp.

what

2.4564 : 10/31/17 : IOTA

Spent not an

iota left

in the bank

best to give right in

 

2.4563 : 10/30/17 : Mirage

Circle that mirage

like a sunstunned leopard

sure as hell could

Use a good shephard

or just a flare up

that I'm free to go

trying to hold it steady

because I may never know

what

2.4562 : 10/29/17 : Seamless

Just cold rain

not quite winter

plug end days

to weld and sinter

not quite seamless

not much of a whole

dead leaves falling

farside of the maypole

what

2.4561 : 10/28/17 : Deep Past

Drift into deep past

dream to break free at last

Why should the moments hold tight

waiting for the tale to get told right

day's hard work bank the fire

done and done get to retire

just for the night more to come

see all try to deliver some

what

2.4560 : 10/27/17 : WON'T

I don't want to

and I won't

You don't care to

ask why: Don't

no payoff

and no punchline

not yours:

also not mine

what

2.4559 : 10/26/17 : Frog

What ought to be

the thrill of the night

goes down like

cold boiled frog

what ought to be

a skip and a jump

every night comes down a slog

every night comes over

my head trailing in fog

what

2.4558 : 10/25/17 : State

How I must rise

against this state I'm in

fight without fighting

so to rise again

How I must pray

with stretched out hand

still unresigned

but oh this state

and its uneasy mind

what
