Fair play
gets me sprung
in five
look for a leap
feels
more like
a dive
Five what?
Why, who's
Counting cat?
I kind of think
I'm going to
have to
insist on that

2.5031 : 2/10/19 : Stock
Making the stock
I should be taking
I guess
tell me another
I'll tell you God bless
what else can I say
that's the way
it's in the soup
If I stopped trying
to explain it all
I might get
back into the loop
2.5030 : 2/9/19 : Appointment
Transition
no surprise
who's changing faster
sure no saint
fit to be
cast in plaster
not much
poetry
in the increment
and on these
days drag
When it's inclement
and I wait
patient
for the latest
disappointment
swearing soon
I'm going to
miss that
next appointment

2.5029 : 2/8/19 : Veil
Rise up
tear the veil
the year's will on
So drive the nail
wild eyed with a hammer
drive with one stroke
can everybody tell
I'm just blowing smoke

2.5027 : 2/6/19 : Aspirations
Don't even know
what's up
with the aspirations
don't even know
what's in my hand
this ain't the
marshalling of
the light brigade
or anybody
at all's
last stand
how would I
get track of
the aspirations
Where do I file
away my
many frustrations
the secret
doors behind
all my intimations
how would
it ever sum up
my creations
2.5026 : 2/5/19 : Commitment
So if the story
of commitment
Doesn't hold up
Leaving me
sitting stupid
with a cold cup
Who's the guy
that wakes
after the after-crash
hooboy you
invisibles
here comes a laughter bash
2.5025 : 2/4/19 : Break Character
Break character
and laugh it off
roll up and blaze
the chaff and cough
If I can just
cut it short and crash
bypass the predictable
and minimize the hash
2.5024 : 2/3/19 : Dumb Dominion
Even breaking records
doesn't quell
the dumb dominion
in my head
you'd think I'd
be innoculated
3 decades
earning my own
daily bread
I don't want to
talk to you
imaginary enemy
grant me one wish
forever banish
the dumb dominion
hegemony
2.5023 : 2/2/19 : Lucky Boy
Short detour
on the way to joy
nothing serious
such a lucky boy
you're a lucky girl
cause I'm pure winner
how it's all turning
for this old sinner

2.5022 : 2/1/19 : Toss
I can toss
one out
because I don't
want to say
the thing I thought
back in the
early day
believe me
you've heard it
it deserves to
be boxed
maybe just
keep tossing
until the loop
is outfoxed
2.5021 : 1/31/19 : Contemplate Change
Contemplate change
but change
always turns out
the same
The parts we
rearrange
pieces of someone
else's dumb game
that's a bad attitude
and I'm a grump
sure maybe because
I never earned my stripes
path of resistance
fit for a chump
and now no idea
how to clear these pipes
2.5020 : 1/30/19 : Hype
So what
the fantasy hype
backhand
obscurist tripe
the comedown
chorus lament
the philosophical
bent
the trudge of
grim routine
but what
we haven't seen
I guess I'll
have to save
sure it's
in some dark cave

2.5019 : 1/29/19 : Touchless
Leave it in neutral
let it run
through the touchless
started as
a metaphor
seems that it's now
much less
no plotting
round this table
no master scheme
at a time when
most things
are exactly
what they seem
2.5018 : 1/28/19 : Wind It Up
Put the
machine together
and wind it up
feel close
to answers
decline to give up
how long can I talk
about the
grave
time march
I guess until I
prove
I can be worth
my starch
2.5017 : 1/27/19 : WRONG
Flat failure
already days back
trying hard
not to attract
more flack
I'll suffer my
consequence
and move it
along
It's hilarious
how it all
keeps going wrong
2.5016 : 1/26/19 : SPADE
Call it a spade
it's a morass
how am I supposed
to cope
I'm a dumbass
there's nothing
more
down that
dim corridor
and long since
missed the boat
to leave
anybody
wanting more
2.5015 : 1/25/19 : The Comedown
What did I do to deserve
existence
what if there's no reward
to persistence
What if there's no onwards
only continuing
and nothing on earth exists
to bring you things
I hate this feeling
call it the comedown
call it noiseome
dismal and brown
All I'm looking forward
to's my man's next book
he never heard of me
and hell never take
a look
I give a rat's ass
it's my cardinal failing
but I care so I stay
well away from
the railing
I hate this feeling
call it the comedown
call it noisome
dismal and brown

2.5014 : 1/24/19 : The Lid
If I clamp the
lid down hard
on that old saw
the new leaf bard
what could be
the second act
or third or fifth
not sure in fact
I pine I dream
and dream of it
sure I could make
your big shoes fit
and in your robe
get bold and free
take by storm and
proclaim jubilee
