And that wraps up the Songs of Days volume 2.24: Do I Dare Disturb the Universe? We'll just move it right along to Volume 2.25, entitled Such Stuff As Dreams.

Don't need fortune fame respect or speed.

2.5157 : 6/16/19 : One Foot Out the Door
I threw it out
wayback along
not to say
it was ever not wrong
nobody had
to give me the talk
when do I get to walk
one foot out the door
one in the bear trap
I was sleep walking
never heard the snap
stationary target
easy to knock me down a peg
but I might just get along
Once I gnaw off that leg

2.5156 : 6/15/19 : Time Has Passed
Time has passed
that's something
holy hell
it's galling
if I cared
I'd be livid
the contrast baby
it's vivid

2.5155 : 6/14/19 : So Hard
This shouldn't be so hard
straighten up lay a card
get in the slim percent
where all the gurus went
where all the swamis fled
all canon in your head
Old enough now to calcify
I hope as a stand up guy
So hard to ignore the news
Go dark while the dark age brews

2.5154 : 6/13/19 : Shut It
I should know better
I should shut it
be a go getter
when it gets tough
gut it
just be a winner
stop complaining
stop protesting
stop explaining
2.5153 : 6/12/19 : The Gateway
The gateway of
everything that ever was
trips so lightly
off the tongue
really we're
in a deep well
at the far end
a sparse bead strung
is this a saga
or a tuba solo
incompetently played
by a dumb fool
would you really want to
Call up the gateway
probably wipe me out
but hey it will look cool
2.5152 : 6/11/19 : Disturb
Hilarious
do I dare disturb
like the universe
would notice
me kicking the curb
hanging
griping
nothing but talk
should only meditate
and take a walk
watch the plate and fork
mind the refurb
and don't bother to worry
what I might disturb

2.5151 : 6/10/19 : Cobble
Call halt
due to time
spent cobbling
story of decades
in theory I'm hobbling
to some finish
better left
undescribed
some unlabeled
potion
better left unimbibed

2.5150 : 6/9/19 : Placebo
Take the placebo
guessing the affliction
is mostly in the mind
like anxiety, addiction
like mortal fear
the apprehension to save
a world unaware of me
Why rant why rave
just take the placebo
and get at the task
well it feels real enough
if you have to ask

2.5149 : 6/8/19 : Pack
Comes the pack
well I remember
little enough
left of that ember
is it the fine source
I need to tap
and if I can't get there
guess it gets built from scrap
