2.5233 : 8/31/19 : Double Deck (The Experiment: 68/100)

Double decade
gone not
forgotten
try to be
philosophical
take the good
with the rotten
hell of a lot
of water flows through
nobody much
came to the 
rescue
and the old film
about the secret
reality
never really
played out
in any eventuality

what

2.5232 : 8/30/19 : Baffled (The Experiment: 67/100)

Get baffled
get angry
expecting people
to make sense
what the hell
am I waiting for
am I still on the fence
half hoping
they'll prove it
truly
unsalvageable
cut me free
to be pure selfish
why I'll just
have a ball

what

2.5231 : 8/29/19 : Gift (The Experiment: 66/100)

Up early
and tossing at night
want to rush
but I'm cautious
got to get it right
the perfect offering
to You I would uplift
just as soon
as I discover
my gift
maybe you struggle
as others say
so hard to choose for me
hey it's okay
but I sure wish
you'd quell the
pining in my heart
and if there's anything
more
I sure wish
it would start

2.5230 : 8/28/19 : Corners (The Experiment: 65/100)

Cut corners
to keep protocol
picture a burner
absolute ethanol
round bottom flask
in a stand
no idea what's cooking
no synthesis planned

what

2.5229 : 8/27/19 : Subtle (The Experiment: 64/100)

Take the subtle wisdom
upside my head
like a brick
for once could we
play it smart
not slick
or so I opine
from a dubious
throne
but I'm going to keep
shouting till the
subtle gets shown

what

2.5228 : 8/26/19 : Pursue Dreams (The Experiment: 63/100)

What this experiment reveals
Dream tide spits us out
each morning agog
Fiddling for the name
For whom
the alarm bell peals
try not to feel
immediately at slog
Pursue Dreams:
Well let me tell you Jack
mine are a weird pack
and unsuitable
for anything but shaking head,
shouldering up the stack
all interpretation
highly refutable

what

2.5227 : 8/25/19 : Too Much Coffee (The Experiment: 62/100)

Too much coffee
probably
maybe it's stress
all I know
it's all me
too much drifting
in this idiot sphere
maybe a nap
show up later
still here

2.5226 : 8/24/19 : Fair Day (The Experiment: 61/100)

Fair day
all obligations
suspended
a cheater's sabbath
but man the
month it ended
staid duty
will descend
soon enough
All I've got's a sketch
of a notion so
we go in rough

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

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

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

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
