2.5051 : 3/2/19 : Righteous (or Not)

Righteous or not
it's got to go
blame the state
of mercury
blame the snow
the state of the world
is material
and forgive the call back
but I sure am
mercurial
and I'm not
satisfied with
the product
but when was I ever?
and whether I feel rightous
or not
I need to plan
the next endeavor

what

2.5050 : 3/1/19 : Bound

No rules
yet bound all sides
days decisions
nights on
futile tides
all the tiny push
I need to
deal with it
stop asking
for extensions
get real with it

what

2.5049 : 2/28/19 : Rusty Oil Lamp

Rusty oil lamp
keep me burning
never really mentioned
where the
oil come from
what defines those
who come ready
who gets left back
feeling dumb
rusty oil lamp
will you still work
get to that
spirit cave
will I find
the guide awaiting
by what little
light that lamp gave

what

2.5048 : 2/27/19 : War

Funny joke
triumph
then regret
a cake thing
I guess
not having
or eating
easy bet
Don't know
what this is
but it isn't war
and I'm sure
not feeling
my excelsior

what

2.5047 : 2/26/19 : Gyre

Winding and
wilding in the
transpacific gyre
democracy's drones
produce holy fire
the century came
and departed
nothing started
the best
are on the short con
the worst think
they know what's wrong
and worse
how to fix it
marked at the X
where one
inflicts it
at the core
that came up hollow
the sage said
all use was there
but that was
hard to swallow

what

2.5046 : 2/25/19 : Sorrytown

Get a little up
sink right back down
such another day
in Sorrytown
sorry that I dawdled
dwindled and hemmed
hawed and jawed
while opportunity condemned
the crazy quilt structure
no house no cards
just a pack of sketches
of post-modern bards
Sorrytown slouchers
to be honest bums
after the king flew the coop
here reality comes

what

2.5045 : 2/24/19 : The Point

And the point
of course
always
again
the ongoing
goes up
like
parrafin
can't
rest on
these laurels
for long
but the
thing is
always
the same thing
is wrong

what

2.5044 : 2/23/19 : Invoke

Invoke the clause
no brilliant pause
no turning point
invoke annoint
the perpetual church
the un-return
