2.5225 : 8/23/19 : 21st Century (The Experiment: 60/100)

21st Century

well underway

can I deny my prime

was in the one passed away?

no: I protest my best work

is in the current fiasco

way things are going I'm

not sure I'm

Up to the task though

no use talking

about the then anymore

that crank's back on the shelf

ready or not we're

gasping on the next shore

what

2.5224 : 8/22/19 : Shut Down (The Experiment: 59/100)

I'd pay a fair price

for a shut down switch

because the inner voice

is well a bitch

and I am shooting

for a higher plane

above the grumbling crowd

above the stain

and I'd extend it

to society

the other-hate

passing for piety

failing the switch

I guess we sigh and fight

nobody said it

would be easy to be right

what

2.5223 : 8/21/19 : Favorites (The Experiment: 58/100)

What are your favorites?

Wrestle with that one

The old desert island

just a little fun

can you extend it

The pattern underneath

Some key just fit

get the medicine past your teeth

cure for the ailing heart

trapped between dwell and dare

assurance of the goal

food for the journey there

what

2.5222 : 8/20/19 : Sparks (The Experiment: 57/100)

Stand back and let me think

every once and a while

I'll create some sparks

I've got a serious puzzle to solve

it's not just wordplay

no time for larks

clench my fists, screw up my eyes

shake a little like

my tongue pokes out

Don't interrupt me don't make a sound

Don't break in to to ask me

What I'm thinking about

Putting it together the lock the light

the season the stone

a promise long deferred

keep searching somewhere a

lock a box

there is a treasure to balance

every loss incurred

what

2.5221 : 8/19/19 : Constraints (The Experiment: 56/100)

Try to see

The constraints as holy

That if I let down my guard

the angels won't roll me

down the negative

asymptote

into the swamp

waiting for the prehistoric

reptile to go chomp

what

2.5220 : 8/18/19 : Dark Sacrament (The Experiment: 55/100)

Dark sacrament

has to be at night

not exactly occult

just the absence of light

When I supplicate

it comes again never

at least once upon a time

seems you blessed that endeavor

Is it the root cause

of the bad vibes downstairs

will I ever leave it truly

this side of earthly cares

Once upon a time

it truly didn't exist

and oh if I could excise it

it really wouldn't be missed

what

2.5219 : 8/17/19 : Subject of Goals (The Experiment: 54/100)

The subject of goals

shuttle between poles

assignments and roles

side eye burning coals

Oh really? Today?

Count all times you say

still back to the fray

From where? Oh, touché

turn off inspection

it's no resurrection

it's not a direction

no more introspection

what
