2.4375 : 4/25/17 : Coup

Restless in the box
unsure of the locks
Maybe just the jones
butcher the meat
get left with the bones
no interest in a coup
never drop
the other shoe

2.4374 : 4/24/17 : Decay

Is it just first day
decay
issues
or the cracks
revealing
truth
and ugly buzz
familiar
frequency
humming in
every tooth

2.4373 : 4/23/17 : Rickety Raft

As the rickety raft
approaches the falls
everybody argues
nobody helping at all
nobody paddling or
bailing anymore
Can you bail out a raft?
What they're arguing for
are the falls really coming
Is it that far down
Whose fault was the river
Who chose to leave town
Should we get out and swim?
every soul to its own
who should we chuck out after
all opportunity is blown

what

2.4372 : 4/22/17 : IMPRECISE

The eventual response
was imprecise
tended to excess
extracted a price
left a debit
hell what else is new
somewhat to my credit
keep things generally true

2.4371 : 4/21/17 : Raise

So to raise hell
or let things slide
little likely to change
old same will abide
is it honest or just
jealous ire
steal somebody else's fire
but I'll scope it
maybe say my peace
half honest
half spent for release

2.4370 : 4/20/17 : Try to Figure Out

Try to figure out
when faith matters most
notice who's the parasite
realize you are the host
who will you trust in between the lanes
not to push you under the bus
out on the mean streets
where only cement reigns
this ain't the end of me
not half not even close
I've got the medicine
I've got a double dose
count five twice open palm
and then I curl it tight
you best to cover up
I showed up here to fight

what

2.4369 : 4/19/17 : Blunders

My share of blunders
foul the data
reveal some secret kink
to wipe out the slate, a
theory of self-sabotage
might well appeal
though I doubt there's much to it
doubt that it's real
just another opportunity
to feast on crow
guess I get down to it
familiar don't you know
at the end of the day
will I really just laugh
hope there's a sunny side
to every stupid gaffe

2.4368 : 4/18/17 : Theory

Scratch out a new theory
of the method of the weary
too plot out of the old cycle
call Fortuna call on Michael
ten in hand
one leads the band
by sea and sand
and there to let it stand
the wise ones stacked like crooked blocks
scratched words and rhymes
on scattered rocks
I'm not their kind
a lesser mind
and little skill to bind
and all that's left behind

2.4367 : 4/17/17 : Romp

Half an hour
in the swamp
too old for this
no longer down
to romp
haven't quite
replaced the corrupt
chip
hoping soon
my upgrade
will ship

what

2.4366 : 4/16/17 : Cake

This is all just cake
right?
a cool breeze for
you defeated
all the world
that's good because
I need a break
and it need not be
repeated
If I could just get it
through my small
and worried brain
no need to invite the fall
or suffer for all
this imaginary pain

2.4365 : 4/15/17 : Service

Doing service
temporary abstinence
waiting on the rise
half decided
half convinced
They're not going to
believe my story
and yet still
I gotta hit 'em
with the love mandatory
try to shake a dance
out of that nonsense
flip the
picture in the sight
of the bomb tense
