2.4350 : 3/31/17 : Sketch

Just want to sketch

what I'm not

prepared to paint

maybe I just

want to be

coming off like a saint

the notion of

two made one

a slower

deeper world

Somehow we could

run

and sing a song

of relief and respite

try to find a key

that doesn't make me

feel desperate

what

2.4349 : 3/30/17 : Branching

Perceive a start

a branching

from this old stock

once I thought I was

hot prick

but I feel like

cold cock

this little

stirring

could it be real

why don't you

back it up

tell me what you feel

what

2.4348 : 3/29/17 : Tank

Everyone will

end up in the tank

pipe in

a far from perfect fake

block out

the truss and shank

forget there was

a real before the break

monetized

and sort of bespoke

Warehoused

and hydroponic

even the designers

will forget the inside joke

in the semidark

and the drone subsonic

what

2.4347 : 3/28/17 : Unbound

Is there really any power

near waiting to be unbound

did I ever catch

a shade's echo

of that big sound?

maybe just a

fairytale

lost in the woods

swallowed by a whale

maybe I'm

hidden in plain sight

maybe nobody cares

So they

put out the light

what

2.4346 : 3/27/17 : Diamond

Hidden diamond

invisible

need it so much

got no visual

got no

treasure map

can't rise

above the trap

keep hope

close to my chest

maybe hid forever

would be best

what

2.4345 : 3/26/17 : Bad Demand

As entropy

forever has the

upper hand

spend lives

dodging the

thumb of bad demand

To sum it up

in the lingua franca

a nicer way of saying

here comes the shitstorm

to tank ya

yet here I am

little engine saying

what now?

days not done

and I'm not

done dodging

I vow

what

2.4344 : 3/25/17 : Rank

So still behaving

like the rank & file

I could have faked it

if I had more style

but being as how

I never had the chops

I better hustle

better pull the stops

nobody's pushing through

to give me props

or else get used

to putting up with slops

what

2.4343 : 3/24/17 : Lost Lines

lost lines

flee through

a mind

half there

and can't

care

say

another day

another way

of saying

anyway

wherever

the lost lines

get tucked

as long

as another

thorn gets

plucked

what

2.4342 : 3/23/17 : Not Destiny

Think fast

reject the past

it is not destiny

There is the rest to see

we're going to get concrete

grass growing under feet

the worms

the birds the moles

my lovely lawn of holes

it's waking up again

we'll raise it up past ten

no fates no omens left

be only swift and deft

what

2.4341 : 3/22/17 : Exultation

The exultation doesn't last

and is counterfeit

and the objects of

our admiration

are far too used to it

I know the pattern well

and never judge

I've fallen more than many times

for it's allure

relief from drudge

And I've my own

little dragons to tame

and one one has forever

and it's no game

what

2.4340 : 3/21/17 : Sounding

Somewhere between the

mundane mire

and the highly theoretical

celestial fire

wherever is my

heart's true sounding

would it feel like

old familiar

or the stark

shock astounding

will I ever really get

within shouting hail

or spend my lifetime

trying to fix the hole in the pail

maybe what luck I had

ran out of it years ago

and the trick's unless I find it

then I'll never know

what

2.4339 : 3/20/17 : Dole

Universal basic dole

just a regular

human hole

would I take it

likely no

long as there's

elsewhere to go

what

2.4338 : 3/19/17 : No Muse

No muse but strategy

and requirements

self imposed

arbitrary

scarce recall

what inpired this

Constant recursion

was not the plan

but few things

go on as they began

not much

of a blueprint but

the no muse said

go

and this is the what

what

2.4337 : 3/18/17 : Do I Dare

Do I dare ask

at this point

for a second act?

Did I say that

already?

Do I repeat myself in fact

trying to adjust

the volume

trying to get the fix

On the signal

on the beacon

not knowing if it's there

or just more

mind tricks

what

2.4336 : 3/17/17 : Call of the Night

Try to defy the

call of the night one time

the evidence of past crime

the empty glass

the tired eyes

try to dream of seas

and believing in suprise

and believing in

surprise

not in the other day

not in passing

or pretending

not in contrived

beginnings

or imagined

ending

what

2.4335 : 3/16/17 : A Midnight

So: a midnight

and I'm still in the game

figure out

on my own terms

what I mean to reclaim

haven't got much

kid stuff left

got one of my own

and a stake

in the treble clef

and one hand

on a bass grind

keep gearing it down

till it's so funky

everybody going to

lose their mind

what

2.4334 : 3/15/17 : This Stop

This stop I have to

get off or stay

declare the wind down

I've got a right to

go my own way

can I find a reason

beyond the keeping on

do I try to fight

for another floor

up the tower of song

what

2.4333 : 3/14/17 : Reign Doubt

No turnaround today

not giving it

the play

barely

scratching out

things as they

are so

let reign doubt

what

2.4332 : 3/13/17 : Flush

I'll keep short changing

I'm just not flush

always the tailends

always the rush

never a reward

Oh I live it pure

drop all ambition

and I'll find the cure

what

2.4331 : 3/12/17 : Whiskey Dream

The whole concept

was a whiskey dream

the morning found

it had no steam

the evening found me

cranky and stalled

hardly telling stories

hardly enthralled

what

2.4330 : 3/11/17 : Tale of Rings

Tell a tale of rings

always loved shiny things

all the paradigms

and plots life brings

Little folks and

wizards grand

pipeweed really

fueled the band

I dreamed the

better part of a year

and if you got ears

sure you'll hear

It's what I had

hidden in my pocket

and the dream

awoke as a rocket

that blasted

to three hundred days

and so the beat

bays

what

2.4329 : 3/10/17 : Scatter

My business all

a scatter pattern

lost that guy

who had the lantern

guess I didn't measure up

again again

invoke the cup

too old

eclipsed

no grails

feels like the rest's

on rails

my business alla

chaos moiré

only in my dreams

the crystal array

what

2.4328 : 3/9/17 : Implication

Always left up late

with the implication

hanging by a thread

waiting for incarnation

what

2.4327 : 3/8/17 : Out of Salt

Set another task

what a fool what a mask

like the original round

still chasing that sound

so shake it like we're

already almost out of salt

Yeah shake it like your head

saying it's none of your fault

If you can't shake it like

you're trying to shake the devil off

you better listen up

no you better not scoff

the very thought of excitement

sets me well on my guard

turning this raft around

is going to be so hard

should I have left it cold

renounced song forsaken art

left town with an

unburdened heart

what

2.4326 : 3/7/17 : Garbage

Toss the garbage

throw the trash

better not think about

what's left to smash

feeling a little

trashed in and out

save what's left

for another bout

haven't given up

but the future is dim

a little pessimistic

for sure a little grim

for a minute there though

I really flew

but nothing but the cold

ended up getting through

what

2.4325 : 3/6/17 : The Plot

Mighta lost the plot too

far back to find the trail

again do we tray to make

or find by hammer thread lens or sail

many think it's hardly a real thing

bound by book cross rope rail or ring

but I loved it so

just can't say goodbye

I swear I saw it far off

once with my good eye

So what it explains the chaos

say it don't exist

Say that's just more rising action

know I've got a list

play it one two three

when I'm down by four

for the breath of a rumor

I'll get up off the floor

what

2.4324 : 3/5/17 : Free Fall

Everyone around me with

their fixed idea

everyone with their own

end all be all

I got not notion no

notion at all

No big production

my production is

in free fall

what

2.4323 : 3/4/17 : Brief

Let each song's life

be brutal and brief

to ward off the one

who comes like a thief

in the night while the rest

sleep shelved like books

I spin up what can't

be claimed by crooks

what

2.4322 : 3/3/17 : Dauntless

No great burden

I'm not the unlucky

do I wish to be

dauntless and plucky

do I really

want to dwell and sulk

such grains of salt

better buy in bulk

at least square my shoulders

stand up straight

bring on another

with full on freight

what

2.4321 : 3/2/17 : Worlds and How Many More?

How many worlds

and how many more?

and each more dull

than the one before

too many make-

believes

on too impressionable

young age

and the shameful

palimpsest

today's

ragged page

let me fit one more

world just one

I ask

to fit this thing

I say I seek

a worthy task

what

2.4320 : 3/1/17 : Mess

Sometimes the mess

before I even started

quit it faster

than I can be thwarted

blanked out

and a stumbly pen

shutter the light and send

this hound back to

his den

what
