2.5288 : 10/25/19 : Throws Dice

When God throws dice

God wins

here's how the

Great quiet pause

begins

a contemplation

four score

and ten days

unreported

unremarked

as it's thrown

it plays

what

2.5287 : 10/24/19 : Dim Shot

All prior versions of me

off the board of directors

the imaginary judges

the bright side rejectors

Whose got to thumbs and

a dim shot - this guy

May stall again halfway

get up again retry

stricken with illness

get up again that all you got

take away my father

So in his name my next shot

roller coaster American

rat race

Think you go me down

better check my face

Think you got me down

better step right back

better give me room

no decay all attack

All dim shots baby

but I take them everyday

The only version of me

While I last anyway

what

2.5286 : 10/23/19 : Shingle

Back to the old

two track

hype then crash

eureka up a

third way

I'd rake in the cash

hang out

my shingle

full potential

at last!

want to look at

my credentials

buddy

not so fast

what

2.5285 : 10/22/19 : Indignity

piled up indignity

infirmity

the predictable outcome

of gluttony

Not all my fault

but enough

The next five looking

rough, but

check the sleeve

roll

the set jaw

the cocked hat

pose is what I got

so I try to

launch off that

what

2.5284: 10/21/19 : The Plan Behind

Seeing the apocalypse

does not come swift

and seems no

chance of healing

this national rift

and mulling the prospect

I'm long years for

this scrape

try to find the

plan behind

the rubric:

change is the

only escape

what

2.5283 : 10/20/19 : Imaginary Books

All imaginary books

the studio

a neck on that

guitar

could work you know

the branching path

game

boy that goes

way back

wish I'd kept that TRS

and stayed on track

And really on the

docket

hacking at the

grind

jeeze but what a

downer

All the same

mind

what

2.5282 : 10/19/19 : HALF

It's all the run up

the run up

on the half century

ohell is there

going to be another

better hit me

with the evidentiary

woo I didn't used to

disdain a shot

at getting venerable

not quite two years

to get right with God

I guess

attitudes untenable

how much more

can I talk about it

God don't test me

still haven't figured

out the next thing

or if the half glass

is yet to

best me

what

2.5281 : 10/18/19 : Sunrise

Sunrise

not even planned

one interval

deciduous

fall side

spanned

Soon give over

to utter dark

and the days

of desperately

trying to shelter

the spark

what

2.5280 : 10/17/19 : Sunset

Somewhere in there

Sunset lit under clouds

color of a finch's breast

away from cars and crowds

beauty comes easy but so brief

and the fight is feeling mortal

and far from imagining

the passage ends in a portal

what
