2.3802 : 9/30/15 : Not Having Any Fun

I'm giving up

and not telling

anyone

keep up

appearances

While not having

any fun

If you can't

tell

is it even

happening

keeping my eyes closed

and work that false

like anything

what

2.3801 : 9/29/15 : Theme

I'd rather sit and listen

to the theme to Barney Miller

New York cops

not so funny these days killer

nice guys, good guys

resolution

conflict clock in under thirty

always gets to a solution

bail out

miss the closing credits

We'll punch it up in post

make it make sense

in the edits

what

2.3800 : 9/28/15 : Ennui

Must I rebut

the positivity

the latest speaking

for itself

frankly

past master of

self-fulfilling

prophecy

call it failure

collapse

gall spite

Sour grapes

ennui

what

2.3799 : 9/27/15 : Ensign

Luminous fantasy

plugged in jacked

every function

sidelined

every input stacked

imagined the ensign

cut loose

adrift

swept into

great evil

watch the tone

shift

So we're all

assimilated

In the machine

no ghosts

no simple answers

no one gets

out clean

what

2.3798 : 9/26/15 : Stars

Throw punches around

like ninja stars

punch through to

riches respect

fancy classic cars

no more need

to be eloquent

punch my way to

value self-evident

Punch grief punch loss

punch squandered potential

for the church of pain

and this ring reverential

what

2.3797 : 9/25/15 : Hand

Resenting

autobiograph

too many times

this

crushing hand

dragging me back

dragging me back

and all across

a fractured

land

what

2.3796 : 9/24/15 : Laser

I want to solve

all problems with lasers

sword gun

knife eraser

cut all corners

score all faces

don't tell me

don't care unless it lases

all problems now

look like they want to get cut

you'll hear all about me

in the scuttlebutt

what

2.3795 : 9/23/15 : Seethes

I see the fatal flaw

targeting

forgot my brain's been tanked

by age and marketing

should have

locked something in

So long ago

but I got caught up

in the I don't

I don't know

and this is

pure problem

as it lives

and breathes

and I only dream

the see

as it gives

and seethes

what

2.3794 : 9/22/15 : Iron

Is this iron hot

or cold or what

I can't tell

oh if I knew oh

I would ring it like

a damn bell

my iron slug

is cold

can't pound it flat

or draw it

but I am back

now still

this thing

I go to

throw out

what

2.3793 : 9/21/15 : Slighter

Even slighter

even briefer

Never brighter

now relief pure

what

2.3792 : 9/20/15 : Happen

This didn't happen

that didn't happen

Somehow they're still

laughing clapping

put me out 

of my misery again

Put me in a place

where for a while

nothing will happen

what

2.3791 : 9/19/15 : Slow

Will this curse

descend again

after another hour

I can't defend

One way to find out

never any other

but it's a slow path

and I'm tired brother

what

2.3790 : 9/18/15 : The Dark Sense

So how did it go?

Kind of

on again

off again

Strange dreams

the crest and the

trough and spin

out and get

reeled in woken

by the silence

the dark sense

that something's

still broken

what

2.3789 : 9/17/15 : Execute

Rush through something

and another

thing between

no time to stop and talk

or think about

what I've seen

got one small plan

I better execute

narrow narrow line

now time

to bomb this chute

what

2.3788 : 9/16/15 : Crease

Increase Decrease

I got to get a dip

of the good grease

'cause it's a rough start

all morns

all horns

we reborns

no chosen no called

at the pit at the pit

at the pit I stalled

rolled up then

Shot the crease

now done the work

it's day

So may I

desist and cease

what

2.3787 : 9/15/15 : Shift

Disbelieving

the shift the break

doubting the lesson

of the give and take

but must hold belief

for one at least

next year Jerusalem

next year the feast

what

2.3786 : 9/14/15 : Crest

Rise up

I can crest above

the optimistic one

the tide of love

this crimson portal

this dawn light

not much invention

Yet it still feels right

Guess it's what comes

When you give all you've got

how every every day

I take a shot

what

2.3785 : 9/13/15 : Every Sin

Under my own name

every sin

mostly sophistry

The world within

Surely I'll break out

in a year or five

talk about miles to go

and getting out alive

what

2.3784 : 9/12/15 : Winston

Winston Smith

what should I make of you now

the screen don't watch us back

but we're all watching anyhow

I had a dream, not of you

but your namesake planted a seed

holy black mother of invention

sacred daughter of need

I leave a mark to remember

like so many before

maybe be my room of terror

maybe be the last decent horror

leave the rest to the bomb squad

remembrance and the past

pray for simple outcomes

pray this marker

forever to last

what

2.3783 : 9/11/15 : Not from a Box

Can't get a shot off

without lighting up some ancient story

and all the time I'm mixing the

map up with the territory

thinking thoughts of thinking

someone should put me down

like a babe in a crib

heedless of my cranky frown

another one off the hip

will I ever settle in get a groove

It sure as hell ain't like

I got one thing left to prove

Lord let me inhabit a different problem

something not from a box

Cook it up yourself for once

Set every trick up

and shoot all the locks

what

2.3782 : 9/10/15 : Be The One

I can see it in your eyes

Your shelf-like brow

Your magic thighs

Oh what sport

What wicked fun

You still believe

that you could be the one

I gave the notion up

in old ought six

my decade did its

so-same downside tricks

that shit's no longer

on my resume

and as to whom

I've not one word

to say

what

2.3781 : 9/9/15 : Muck

Lose a notion

muck out the box

back anon

if I weather the shocks

Space age addicts

fix it in the background

glad to be past it

glad for this all-sound

what

2.3780 : 9/8/15 : Some Other

Hell how I need

the some other

you know I told

You twice brother

other topic

other voice

new rising ground

fast early choice

Some other face

in morning's mirror

a lighter glass

in it clearer

what

2.3779 : 9/7/15 : Upstream

Too fast

but well met

thrown back in

but swimming yet

not sure I have it

in me to turn upstream

it seems I can't wholly

give up the dream

what

2.3778 : 9/6/15 : White Guilt

I've got that white guilt

I've got entitlement

I've got survivor's guilt

about the environment

I sport on lakes

while kids die in the sea

What do I say

I ain't no refugee

Guilt doesn't help

nobody's buying

not posting that

nor bother replying

barely afloat

in my own way

that's crummy irony

but it's a strange day

what

2.3777 : 9/5/15 : Same Bell

Check that

tip hat

quick bat

run rat

stop thief

new leaf

all grief

right chief?

Oh well

Oh hell

same bell

still fell

what

2.3776 : 9/4/15 : A Box

Draw a box around

and stick a

pin in it

I signed up for

another round

of minion shit

not like I used

the time before

with any grace

I guess the box

is in my mind

so damn my face

Damn my eyes

for seeking beauty

my ears for melody

damn me for

wanting a soft touch

my nose a bright bouquet

an stuff my mouth

with junk until

my jaw locks

block every passage

and disregard

a box

what

2.3775 : 9/3/15 : Drop

Hear a pin

drop

on this one

or was it a dime

or was it a

needle

or a stitch

in time?

what

2.3774 : 9/2/15 : Piling

Fooled myself

I was stacking

I was really

just piling

there's a name

for this disease

but I guess

I'm still smiling

H-A-P-P-Y

well I wouldn't venture quite

So far but maybe

Some kind of

contentment in sight

what

2.3773 : 9/1/15 : What Sells

Riding the excuse

of everyone else

And so easy to

heap on the plate

And all succumb

to the logic of what sells

and I tell myself I

haven't quite left it too late

but the certainty

is it's later

and most of those I found

were lost again

oh come expand my mind

my time oh great dilator

and grant me faith at last

in my own pen

what
