2.4547 : 10/14/17 : Razzmatazz 2

I got it bad

I got the razmatazz back

slung from having too much

to too little slack

they've got their

talons in so much of my days

where the hell do I find

energy to fight this haze?

what

2.4546 : 10/13/17 : Keep Up

What's the dodge for the night

scrambling playing keep up

What's the chances I

could catch some sleep up

what's the chances then

my problems are bunk

another day

another bleeding chunk

and if I never assemble

this puzzle of meat

oh at least I guess

it keeps me off the street

and gives me something

to keep up barely

try to dodge don't want

that truth to hit me squarely

what

2.4545 : 10/12/17 : Something Wicked

Forgot about that

lyric gyre

cloud of metaphor

almost smothers the fire

the story man

how he bobs and tricks it

what comes with October

Something wicked

Never to be a boy

or a young man again

not getting any easier

to turn in after ten

Old sirens call deep

for once I'll ignore them

make my way into sleep

what

2.4544 : 10/11/17 : The Chunks

Wrong calling

all about

mixing up the chunks

nothing unfamiliar

these days

no room for

the punks

With hearts on sleeves

precious snowflake

chorus arcs

where the hell do we

put them all

erupting rhymes

and throwing sparks?

what

2.4543 : 10/10/17 : The Rat Race

How about this plan

no escape

through no fault of my own

I'm in a wearing scrape

ain't it always something

Mr. Mephistopheles 

Trying to nail the dismount

but I'm running with

the lot of these

day in day outs

weekend seekers

I used to ramble

with the artsy freakers

but I lost my

card chasing necessity

and it sure looks

like the rat race has the best of me

what

2.4542 : 10/09/17 : How He's Grown

This oddment

will surely be a phase

sure don't got wherewithal

to seek a new supply these days

I'll fill my table

from the harvest

of what the Gospel Plow

has sown

I'll rise above this

sure as Grandma

says my how he's grown

what

2.4541 : 10/08/17 : The Dark Part

Answer my own question

before I can ask it

moment of decision?

well past it

since I feel the

Dark part coming on

think I'd rather

toss in a quick flourish

and get me gone

what

2.4540 : 10/07/17 : No here

No here, here

that's what they say

but here we are

letting the hours get away

but I know the answer

isn't coming tonight

and my present strategy

is to give in without a fight

what

2.4539 : 10/06/17 : Streamed

Too tired to fake clever

or merely disaffected

too many things turned out

as ever I expected

and as for wanted

wished or dreamed

he laughed so hard

he farily screamed

and while the new

religion streamed

I'll tease a tale

of digging out

and now the

long retreat

becoming a rout

what

2.4538 : 10/05/17 : The Monolith

Always said I'd stand up

to the monolith

but it grinds finer

than I ever thought

and what became

and what is becoming

of everything I 

always said I sought

Doesn't take that much

after all

a couple extra hours of grind

everyday and I'm about to fall

apart at the seams

like a cheap suit

the metaphor's too fitting

and the monolith's

at every root

what

2.4537 : 10/04/17 : Simple

Before the waves

drag me out to the

midst of the sea

I'll stake my share

call it the one last

simple and free

If I can hang on

and I guess be me

what

2.4536 : 10/03/17 : The Joke

The joke was on me

I guess I'm the guy

not what I signed up for

but I won't ask why

I got in my gag

kind you only get once

When work is done the wise retires

but my kind punts

the kind of noise

that's pumping out these days

I'd like to think we'd

get above it some ways

I'd like to think

I'd just be let in on the joke

how I ended up here

with this heavy, heavy yoke

what

2.4535 : 10/02/17 : Silence

what

2.4534 : 10/01/17 : Wheel

So the crazy

was catching

we'd clogged up

the sky

the great unwashed

minority

had sent up

that guy

So most things

came off like a joke

kids laughed

at the forty-somethings

getting woke

but I didn't feel in

on the gag

until the heat

got real

And even then

I couldn't shake

this conviction

I would yet

beat the wheel
