2.5279 : 10/16/19 : Sign Off

One of those

wrap it up days

American flag

sign-off music plays

been none of that

a whole lot of years

all goes non-stop

So many tiers

So many channels

such a chaos mob

that barely notes

while it stuffs its gob

but not to dwell

focus on the beam

on the sign off kick

and conserve my steam

what

2.5278 : 10/15/19 : Phase Zero

Phase zero

don't think about

the time scale

as far as older

aspirations

we're gonna have

a fire sale

No one wanted

to build on a

burned out shell

but it seems we're

stuck here for a while

so what the hell

So many enemies

of good

most will never face it

but I think you should

I'll be shoulder to shoulder

at the mirror

clocking that mug

maybe the time

has finally come

to do more than shrug

what

2.5277 : 10/14/19 : Change the Story

So change the story

never lost

Not a degree of course

A pin in every cost

Confidently sailing

right at the master

plan

better yet

meshed in the moment

as it eternally

began

a generation waits

to see the big reveal

and the rift

begins to heal

what

2.5276 : 10/13/19 : Oracle

Nothing I can think of

matches up with

the oracle

or am I deluding myself or

did I

ignore the call

Any good surprises

left in this

century

were I doing it over

where would my

Sense of adventure be

for sure this week

I'll kick off

phase one of five

still not gave up

though lacking in drive

oracles can't do

the work I

require

but I'll need more than

lists for

the work I aspire

what

2.5275 : 10/12/19 : Liven Up

Half assing it

sure

have for it to be

the story

the stew du jour

would it

liven up

if I hit the

metaphor gym

if the bookies

looked my way

odds would be dim

If I livened up

my message

would some structure

follow

tried to hype

my own before

but words

rang hollow

what

2.5274: 10/11/19 : Grotesque

The spectacle grotesque

and me at the desk

not knowing

how to counter

and will all the good

founder

Not a bit

messianic

look concerned

that's a good trick

but the grotesque

marches on stilts

and my optimism

wilts

what

2.5273: 10/10/19 : Someday for Sure

Pain's in the head

is it anywhere

else

is it anything

else

Someday

for sure

and no

real cure

But while

you've got me here

best

keep busy

teacher's

not coming

is he?

what

2.5272: 10/9/19 : Hysterical Misery

Hysterical misery

but a quiet sort

half incoherent

shrugs off retort

hardly articulate

thoughts circulate

repeat and seethe

what use to create

what use to improve

adapt try to change

age's drag deepens

call duller, more strange

no market for this crap

most of all not within

and angry as well

at the curse word begin

what
