2.5078 : 3/29/19 : Cusp

So I've claimed

the cusp

more than a couple times

thank goodness

no one knows

just where to

drop their dimes

'cause I'm going to

half ass this

strategy

and as it

turns out not

all that

bad you see

Question the cusp

it's dodgy

hope to come off

stoic

not stodgy

what

2.5077 : 3/28/19 : Prologue

dare to declare

the prologue

think you can

hunt

with that dog

prior to the thesis

the homely foyer

I stake the

new way

sunk cost

destroyer

only crazies

ever look me up

before you protest

let me

interrupt

I did the math

and it devastates

nevermore lost

nevermore

hesitates

what

2.5075 : 3/26/19 : Poundland

2.5075 : 3/26/19 : Meat Cure

How much

to blame

this human meat

from the same old

a step up

if I may be

so bold

obtuse

absurd

mundane

my kingdom

for a

sight line

less inane

what

2.5072 : 3/23/19 : Myths

Way too old

for origin myths

just keeping up

skipping over the rifts

hoping that I just

need a rest

give me three years

without another test

some seem marked

have trajectory

guess I know too well

What you expect of me

move by the age of myths

and onto the parthenon

dialectic on the steps

next the treaty of the new Trianon

what

2.5071 : 3/22/19 : Disobey

Everything gets

compromised

to do every

last minute by the book

what

2.5065 : 3/16/19 : Proof

short

when I come

around again

to register

my dump report

what

the impossibe

anticipating nothing

and ready

what

2.5061 : 3/12/19 : Dig Through

What do I have to

dig through

to get to

whatever

needs airing out

fed up

is like as with a

deck marked

and stacked

and get this wild

homebrew racked

2.5059 : 3/10/19 : Prime

The darkest alt

turns out all my fault

turns out not parallel but serial

the prime I spout

by the pint imperial

the false bravado

the I give up

the fill-to gradient

of the loving cup

the abstract comment

on commonplace vice

all been said

five hundred times

time twice

that's a thousand

try to keep up

that's how the past prime

does creep up

what

2.5057 : 3/8/19 : Disturb

Barely disturb

rarely making

history

really only timing

in the air

about this story

better not disturb

this dicey

balance of luck

chance keeping

me honest

it always gets

struck

and the more

righteous

must come from within

how do I figure

that

oh where to begin

what

2.5056 : 3/7/19 : Defense

what

2.5056 : 3/6/19 : Extra Wierd

tragic

high

as the sky

What do we

make

of this hero

arc

maintain

the spark

what

2.5051 : 3/2/19 : Righteous (or Not)

Righteous or not

it's got to go

blame the state

of the mercury

blame the snow

the state of the world

is material

and forgive the call back

but I sure am

mercurial

and I'm not

satisfied with

the product

but when was I ever?

and whether I feel rightous

or not

I need to plan

the next endeavor

what

2.5050 : 3/1/19 : Bound

No rules

the guide awaiting

by what little

light that lamp gave

but it isn't war

and I'm sure

not feeling

my excelsior

what

2.5047 : 2/26/19 : Gyre

Winding and

wilding in the

transpacific gyre

democracy's drones

produce holy fire

the century came

and departed

nothing started

the best

are on the short con

the worst think

they know what's wrong

and worse

how to fix it

marked at the X

where one

inflicts it

at the core

that came up hollow

the sage said

all use was there

but that was

hard to swallow

what

2.5046 : 2/25/19 : Sorrytown

Get a little up

sink right back down

such another day

in Sorrytown

sorry that I dawdled

dwindled and hemmed

hawed and jawed

while opportunity condemned

the crazy quilt structure

no house no cards

just a pack of sketches

of post-modern bards

Sorrytown slouchers

to be honest bums

after the king flew the coop

here reality comes

what

2.5045 : 2/24/19 : The Point

And the point

thing is

always

the same thing

is wrong

what

2.5044 : 2/23/19 : Invoke
