2.5036 : 2/15/19 : Partners in Crime

Who stole from
whom?
Ain't no body
of work to exhume
the mess
doesn't count
despite its great
amount
seems we were
partners in crime
we both drew
knives
killed that time
carve double credits
in that wall
we partners
did it all

2.5035 : 2/14/19 : Love

All for the love
If we could
just aim true
one for all
for me for you
all for one
to feel so
held up
for that
none other
I'll raise the cup

what

2.5034 : 2/13/19 : The Shape

Like a scribble
of maybe a turd
the shape of
my thing today
I'd fly away bird
if I were you
as I'm surely not
but excuse me
while I tell off
this pot

what

2.5033 : 2/12/19 : In Ice

Better intentions
are bound in ice
and the age's
grand gestalt ain't nice
and no vice supplies
no time and no slack
but if you think you know
you'll soon be taken aback

2.5032 : 2/11/19 : More Like a Dive

Fair play
gets me sprung
in five
look for a leap
feels
more like
a dive
Five what?
Why, who's
Counting cat?
I kind of think
I'm going to
have to
insist on that

2.5031 : 2/10/19 : Stock

Making the stock
I should be taking
I guess
tell me another
I'll tell you God bless
what else can I say
that's the way
it's in the soup
If I stopped trying
to explain it all
I might get
back into the loop

what

2.5030 : 2/9/19 : Appointment

Transition
no surprise
who's changing faster
sure no saint
fit to be
cast in plaster
not much
poetry
in the increment
and on these
days drag
When it's inclement
and I wait
patient
for the latest
disappointment
swearing soon
I'm going to
miss that
next appointment

2.5029 : 2/8/19 : Veil

Rise up
tear the veil
the year's will on
So drive the nail
wild eyed with a hammer
drive with one stroke
can everybody tell
I'm just blowing smoke

2.5028 : 2/7/19 : Oh This

Oh this
yeah this
far from joy
from bliss
how long
how much
my fault
to hell with
tired old
gestalt

what

2.5027 : 2/6/19 : Aspirations

Don't even know
what's up
with the aspirations
don't even know
what's in my hand
this ain't the
marshalling of
the light brigade
or anybody
at all's
last stand
how would I
get track of
the aspirations
Where do I file
away my
many frustrations
the secret
doors behind
all my intimations
how would
it ever sum up
my creations

what

2.5026 : 2/5/19 : Commitment

So if the story
of commitment
Doesn't hold up
Leaving me
sitting stupid
with a cold cup
Who's the guy
that wakes
after the after-crash
hooboy you
invisibles
here comes a laughter bash

what

2.5025 : 2/4/19 : Break Character

Break character
and laugh it off
roll up and blaze
the chaff and cough
If I can just
cut it short and crash
bypass the predictable
and minimize the hash

what

2.5024 : 2/3/19 : Dumb Dominion

Even breaking records
doesn't quell
the dumb dominion
in my head
you'd think I'd
be innoculated
3 decades
earning my own
daily bread
I don't want to
talk to you
imaginary enemy
grant me one wish
forever banish
the dumb dominion
hegemony

what

2.5023 : 2/2/19 : Lucky Boy

Short detour
on the way to joy
nothing serious
such a lucky boy
you're a lucky girl
cause I'm pure winner
how it's all turning
for this old sinner

2.5022 : 2/1/19 : Toss

I can toss
one out
because I don't
want to say
the thing I thought
back in the
early day
believe me
you've heard it
it deserves to
be boxed
maybe just
keep tossing
until the loop
is outfoxed

what

2.5021 : 1/31/19 : Contemplate Change

Contemplate change
but change
always turns out
the same
The parts we
rearrange
pieces of someone
else's dumb game
that's a bad attitude
and I'm a grump
sure maybe because
I never earned my stripes
path of resistance
fit for a chump
and now no idea
how to clear these pipes

what

2.5020 : 1/30/19 : Hype

So what
the fantasy hype
backhand
obscurist tripe
the comedown
chorus lament
the philosophical
bent
the trudge of
grim routine
but what
we haven't seen
I guess I'll
have to save
sure it's
in some dark cave
