2.5102 : 4/22/19 : Pilot

I need to

proselytize

the small start

I need to

explain the necessity

of the pilot

if we can

put a stupid

car into space

to rectify this

moronic age

damn it, why not?

Why not why not

I can give you a thousand

reasons why we won't

stopping this bonkers

build would feel so good

oh but yet we don't

what

2.5101 : 4/21/19 : The Inheritance

Up early like

the old story

rain and thunder

Short on glory

how on earth

do I keep lifting my chin

to hell with it

come noon we begin

come midnight

I'll be drenched in dreams

and for once

the sight that comes

will be what it seems

and ripening late

the inheritance

it its time will come

to feel like the first chance

what

2.5100 : 4/20/19 : None the Wise Ancients

None the wise ancients quite

treat this affliction

excess of vitriol

excess of diction

articulate inward

inhumed radiation

introspect radio

jammed on that station

suppose that I know it

the are ex

the method

nothing to seek

but to follow one breath would

suspend over scores

and battalions of nights

might quiet the affliction

show distant the heights

what

2.5099 : 4/19/19 : Devout

Missing the mark

on the devout state

asked to watch

but cannot

stay awake

A little late

to claim the

Cause of grief

And wondering

what on earth

could bring relief

what

2.5098 : 4/18/19 : Touch and Go

I can't hack this

touch and go

no mo'

when will the

old bad habit

go

how much longer

Can I skirt the pit

ever other time

At last I

fell into it

what

2.5097 : 4/17/19 : Tedious

Oh so dark

So tedious

So overwrought

So needy, us

the corpse brigade

that grows and grows

and what a wrench

that dark

dance throws

what

2.5096 : 4/16/19 : 10K

Does the 10K hours

thing scan?

even swing it

with the master plan

if I was so

on it

so seldom weak

So careful to

do to

less and less

speak

for I still dream

though I tried

so hard

to give up

and sell out

try like hell

to find out

what the 10K's 

all about

what

2.5095 : 4/15/19 : Cookie Oracle

Lamest observance

hope to be

past it soon

feeling unlikely

the paths out of tune

the cookie

oracle

says my

Magwitch is

in the wings

but I know

better better

next day

the same bell rigns

what

2.5094 : 4/14/19 : Mix

The mix ups

are funny

on the little screen

here in the

real real

well you know

what I mean

What passes

for real

in the post-modern

sludge

all muddles in

together

to one

unremitting drudge

what

2.50923: 4/13/19 : The War

Give it merely

60 years or so

And we can all joke

about the war

Could it be

probably

nobody left really

cares what it was for

what

2.5092 : 4/12/19 : The Method

What's the method

going to be

this time around

Who drove

these spikes in

maybe because

I forsook the Big Sound

Too well I

recognize

the second rate

Why I

Keep the secret harder

sanguine in my fate

what

2.5091 : 4/11/19 : Straws

Just piling straws

on this broke camel

no reprieve

for this sorry mammal

Praying oh what for

fear to say

deliver me for one night

anyway

what

2.5090 : 4/10/19 : Brass

In dream realm

vacation

ditching

the road trip

just want to

fly around

first class

rock the gentry tip

daydreaming

20 years

reunion tour

it'll come to nothing

for want of brass

I'm sure

what

2.5089 : 4/9/19 : Anachronism

The anachronism of

both punk

and cyber

even for I

the sci fi cup

imbiber

the usual

fetish

with a coat of grot

guess it's just

a jug

and you and

I, robot

what

2.5088 : 4/8/19 : Rough Start

Rough start

for the reinsertion

what to blame

no point to

cast aspersion

Plenty of reasons

to go around

but it's just not the

season

to go aground

what

2.5087 : 4/7/19 : Role Model

Writing off this search

for a role model

get smart about this

wicked world like Aristotle

Ignorance is in

full flower

no obstruction to

dark power

time to call again

the black angel's name

the only one that every time

I called, came

no more mister nice guy

oh my innocent babes

and the consequence will blow

you mind like honest Abe's

what

2.5086 : 4/6/19 : Back Home Delight

How to buy off

the night

got back home:

delight

cause for

heavy thanks

always the best part

not quite the

launch I need

but a good start

what

the once and future realm of thinking

I'm sure it's happened before but in this last song, Decamp, I am for the first time noting an instance where the song I'm posting was (when it was written in 2019) clearly referencing what I was posting on the blog (songs from 2012) at the time I wrote it. Or what I was about to be posting, the noted "trip fantastic" being the series Mt. Metaphor, which commenced with an unannounced prologue (song 2.2531, written 4/7/2012, posted 4/7/2019, and ran (in its formal numbered series) in songs 2532 to 2589, written April 8th to June 4th, 2012, and posted in its turn seven years later. I'd tell you to go check it out except nobody actually reads this.

what

2.5085 : 4/5/19 : Decamp

Decamp

from the onetime

realm of thinking

think about

the long depression

clear as anything

look to the

halfway home

on the cusp

of a trip fantastic

in some whole

other tome

what

2.5084 : 4/4/19 : Could Have Been Worse

Unrelated to

the present affair

postmodern

fairytale

takes me there

could have gone down

that rabbit hole

not hard to estimate

the trajectory

of that toll

Could have been worse

a case for thanks

not quite a platform

but maybe

a case of planks

what

2.5083 : 4/3/19 : Transformation 5

Sole tool quiet

inaction

evolution

settlement

clarity

without transaction

transformation

five, twelve

seventeen thousand times

toss out new lives

like nickles

and dimes

what

2.5082 : 4/2/19 : Limbs

Is thius

seizing of the limbs

a metaphor?

mute psyche

on attack

and nothing more

wrong side of

the brain

should be articulate

look for the

bright side

but I'm sick of that

what

2.5081 : 4/1/19 : Husk

This mere husk

fruit

or root

nowhere to

be seen

the stupid

same

lantern play

behind the

screen

thinking

another dismal sleep

thinking I'm

a dumb dumb

sheep

what

2.5080 : 3/31/19 : SPOT

Wish it were

there

but it's

not

no interest

leave

nothing

in the spot

what

2.5079 : 3/30/19 : Action Item 16

Necessary brief

action item 16

dictates like Tao

to exit the scene

To make another

at a page's turn

at this rate

I might even learn

what
