2.4547 : 10/14/17 : Razzmatazz 2

I got it bad
I got the razmatazz back
slung from having too much
to too little slack
they've got their
talons in so much of my days
where the hell do I find
energy to fight this haze?

2.4546 : 10/13/17 : Keep Up

What's the dodge for the night
scrambling playing keep up
What's the chances I
could catch some sleep up
what's the chances then
my problems are bunk
another day
another bleeding chunk
and if I never assemble
this puzzle of meat
oh at least I guess
it keeps me off the street
and gives me something
to keep up barely
try to dodge don't want
that truth to hit me squarely

2.4545 : 10/12/17 : Something Wicked

Forgot about that
lyric gyre
cloud of metaphor
almost smothers the fire
the story man
how he bobs and tricks it
what comes with October
Something wicked
Never to be a boy
or a young man again
not getting any easier
to turn in after ten
Old sirens call deep
for once I'll ignore them
make my way into sleep

2.4544 : 10/11/17 : The Chunks

Wrong calling
all about
mixing up the chunks
nothing unfamiliar
these days
no room for
the punks
With hearts on sleeves
precious snowflake
chorus arcs
where the hell do we
put them all
erupting rhymes
and throwing sparks?

2.4543 : 10/10/17 : The Rat Race

How about this plan
no escape
through no fault of my own
I'm in a wearing scrape
ain't it always something
Mr. Mephistopheles 
Trying to nail the dismount
but I'm running with
the lot of these
day in day outs
weekend seekers
I used to ramble
with the artsy freakers
but I lost my
card chasing necessity
and it sure looks
like the rat race has the best of me

2.4542 : 10/09/17 : How He's Grown

This oddment
will surely be a phase
sure don't got wherewithal
to seek a new supply these days
I'll fill my table
from the harvest
of what the Gospel Plow
has sown
I'll rise above this
sure as Grandma
says my how he's grown

2.4541 : 10/08/17 : The Dark Part

Answer my own question
before I can ask it
moment of decision?
well past it
since I feel the
Dark part coming on
think I'd rather
toss in a quick flourish
and get me gone

2.4540 : 10/07/17 : No here

No here, here
that's what they say
but here we are
letting the hours get away
but I know the answer
isn't coming tonight
and my present strategy
is to give in without a fight
