2.5089 : 4/9/19 : Anachronism

The anachronism of
both punk
and cyber
even for I
the sci fi cup
imbiber
the usual
fetish
with a coat of grot
guess it's just
a jug
and you and
I, robot

2.5088 : 4/8/19 : Rough Start

Rough start
for the reinsertion
what to blame
no point to
cast aspersion
Plenty of reasons
to go around
but it's just not the
season
to go aground

2.5087 : 4/7/19 : Role Model

Writing off this search
for a role model
get smart about this
wicked world like Aristotle
Ignorance is in
full flower
no obstruction to
dark power
time to call again
the black angel's name
the only one that every time
I called, came
no more mister nice guy
oh my innocent babes
and the consequence will blow
you mind like honest Abe's

2.5086 : 4/6/19 : Back Home Delight

How to buy off
the night
got back home:
delight
cause for
heavy thanks
always the best part
not quite the
launch I need
but a good start

the once and future realm of thinking

I'm sure it's happened before but in this last song, Decamp, I am for the first time noting an instance where the song I'm posting was (when it was written in 2019) clearly referencing what I was posting on the blog (songs from 2012) at the time I wrote it. Or what I was about to be posting, the noted "trip fantastic" being the series Mt. Metaphor, which commenced with an unannounced prologue (song 2.2531, written 4/7/2012, posted 4/7/2019, and ran (in its formal numbered series) in songs 2532 to 2589, written April 8th to June 4th, 2012, and posted in its turn seven years later. I'd tell you to go check it out except nobody actually reads this.

2.5085 : 4/5/19 : Decamp

Decamp
from the onetime
realm of thinking
think about
the long depression
clear as anything
look to the
halfway home
on the cusp
of a trip fantastic
in some whole
other tome

2.5084 : 4/4/19 : Could Have Been Worse

Unrelated to
the present affair
postmodern
fairytale
takes me there
could have gone down
that rabbit hole
not hard to estimate
the trajectory
of that toll
Could have been worse
a case for thanks
not quite a platform
but maybe
a case of planks

2.5083 : 4/3/19 : Transformation 5

Sole tool quiet
inaction
evolution
settlement
clarity
without transaction
transformation
five, twelve
seventeen thousand times
toss out new lives
like nickles
and dimes

2.5082 : 4/2/19 : Limbs

Is thius
seizing of the limbs
a metaphor?
mute psyche
on attack
and nothing more
wrong side of
the brain
should be articulate
look for the
bright side
but I'm sick of that

what

2.5081 : 4/1/19 : Husk

This mere husk
fruit
or root
nowhere to
be seen
the stupid
same
lantern play
behind the
screen
thinking
another dismal sleep
thinking I'm
a dumb dumb
sheep

2.5080 : 3/31/19 : SPOT

Wish it were
there
but it's
not
no interest
leave
nothing
in the spot

2.5079 : 3/30/19 : Action Item 16

Necessary brief
action item 16
dictates like Tao
to exit the scene
To make another
at a page's turn
at this rate
I might even learn
