2.5305 : 11/11/19 : Stupider Age

Lurid shadows

ghosts fantoms

anyone can see the fear

in a handful

of atoms

every generation

sees doom ahead

but it's a stupider age

than average

best to focus

on one's little patch

and keep a sea eye out

for leverage

what

2.5304 : 11/10/19 : Plume

Look wearily look

at a dull return

things that never work

but seem perpetually

to return

writing in code again

what am I hiding

and from whom

well it would sound dumb

any clearer

and you know

me and my white plume

oh like I earned any valor

on any field

I can say I had my share

of ordeal

but what did it yield

Lord knows something

is needed now

Probably a lot of tedious

knocking doors

well you know I've got

great excuses this year

hell when it rains it pours

what

2.5303 : 11/9/19 : Cast

Cast out limitations

so easy

to tell another

So hard to believe

it's time for you

I know you

feel me brother

Cast about for

the sticking point

the anchor ring

set in the wall

my back's against

hard to convince

myself

my hand will chance

on anything at all

what

2.5302 : 11/8/19 : On the Theory

On the theory

everyone I meet in dreams

are me

who were

the pack of weirdos

dropped from the tree

mashup up the doctor

and work:

nice

and even those

tools

gave me no advice

what

2.5301 : 11/7/19 : The Real Kind

As far as

dreams these days

the box the box the box

If there's

such a thing as fate

it's a thing

that mocks

season the mash

with the

dismal science

since I bombed

out of the real kind

and the books

demand compliance

what

2.5300 : 11/6/19 : Dare I Say

Dare I say

oh saying's cheap

everything else

the hill is steep

say it anyway

like a spell

the cynic snickers

say go to hell

someday get it

every minute on

ascend, begin it, gone

what

2.5299: 11/5/19 : Disappointment

Recall the grand gesture

the lurid symbol

quickly blew it

won't find that one

in the hymnal

mess it's been a while now

don't recall the last

last hurrah

likely just a matter of time

and so it fucking goes

selah

and it's put up or

shut up time

for the better world set

gearing up for

disappointment

generally

a safe bet

what

2.5298 : 11/4/19 : Swell

Just the rising

Swell

no object and

deeply unwell

across the boards

the mad thing

stalks

and madly

talks

what

2.5297 : 11/3/19 : Kept

How likely

the world will be kept

something that

crossed over

while I slept

I cast it so

about a thousand times

and when the bell chimes

I'll run at the mouth

like the dog I am

get you coming and going

on the job on the lam

sign me up

for another ten thousand

something new next

or you can damn well

pound sand

what

2.5296 : 11/2/19 : Ordeal Again

If seeking ordeal again

call it a banner day

enough privilege it's messed up

to ask why it has to be this way

only human though

the flesh pierced bleeds

we all deserve better

we all could use a little help

with all these needs

what
