2.5171 : 6/30/19 : Ignition (The Experiment: 6/100)

Slowly walk back
ambition
maybe conceive
a slow plan
to ignition
always on about
the plan
the path
when the market
rouses
always take a bath
if I'd just proudly
stand my place
with the losers
might finally connect
with my true
end users

2.5170 : 6/29/19 : Design (The Experiment: 5/100)

By design
no bad results
the unwanted
outcome
quantifies my faults
can't get a hook
in the new
pattern
gaze ahead
I'll get it
that turn
get away with
blaming one
on the modern necessity
might yet pull it back
if I refuse to
let it mess with me

2.5169 : 6/28/19 : Stumbles (The Experiment: 4/100)

So soon in
the effort stumbles
classic: call me
Doctor Fumbles
is any difference
evident
just as bumbling
just as impotent

2.5168 : 6/27/19 : Swamp (The Experiment: 3/100)

Giving swamps
a bad name
in the real thing
best not to drain
find another word
to describe this bucket
riding on my shoulders
maybe a thorn to pluck at
that gives thorns
a bad name
nothing in nature
like this wack game
try to exercise
scream and stomp
wishing to retreat
escape into the swamp

2.5167 : 6/26/19 : The Hypothesis (The Experiment: 2/100)

The hypothesis is
already in trouble
hitting outliers
till I'm seeing double
hey does the science
lingo make me sound smart
easy to predict
never again play that part
but the final nail
as long as I'm on a roll
is my sample is one
and I have no control

2.5166 : 6/25/19 : The Experiment (The Experiment: 1/100)

Have to get at
a little earlier
intent a
little burlier
what I once
foresaw so prescient
still yet thus
the experiment

2.5165 : 6/24/19 : BRO

My bro
must be doing
all right
all kinds of
wierdo gear
in the
studio white
don't covet no more
just happy
to see
my bro working
doubt he
recalls me

2.5164 : 6/23/19 : Fragility

For sure I
got that fragility
is change
in my ability
my upbringing
you know
land as white
as frequent snow
another job
another failure
to correct
trying to reach out
to only connect

what

2.5163 : 6/22/19 : Spoke

This spoke
on the distinctly
non-perpetual
wheel
can't seem to
sever the knot
or get the
dream train
real

what

2.5162 : 6/21/19 : My Ecology

The ecology
is getting buggy
been there
done that
when the weather
gets muggy
inside
outside
jeeze is this
all the cycle perpetual
my ecology
and all else
is conceptual

2.5161 : 6/20/19 : Deck

Got a full deck
two jokers
and a list
of hands
let me speak up
so they'll hear me
in the back of
the stands
I'll only shuffle
for a minute more
the start
to deal
you cut is
coming
ante up
big wheel

what

2.5160 : 6/19/19 : Heave Ho

Time for the
heave ho
for many mockers
for those about
to salute
blow off
the rockers
and get on
with simplification
frugality
consolidation

what

2.5159 : 6/18/19 : Superstructure

Build a
superstructure
build an
infrastructure
a lot more work
and in it for
a long time
the plan's
Still rickety
plotted
insufficiently
ear still at
the wall
waiting on the
key chime

what

2.5158 : 6/17/19 : Props

Do it with props
run till it pops
running around
track down the sound
I don't like
the pattern
so I'll
simply change
somewhere round
the 7 year bend
it sure got strange
and I guess I've
recovered
but a darkness
persists
and the
offramp is
hidden in the mists

way back along

And that wraps up the Songs of Days volume 2.24: Do I Dare Disturb the Universe? We'll just move it right along to Volume 2.25, entitled Such Stuff As Dreams.

what

2.5157 : 6/16/19 : One Foot Out the Door

I threw it out
wayback along
not to say
it was ever not wrong
nobody had
to give me the talk
when do I get to walk
one foot out the door
one in the bear trap
I was sleep walking
never heard the snap
stationary target
easy to knock me down a peg
but I might just get along
Once I gnaw off that leg

2.5156 : 6/15/19 : Time Has Passed

Time has passed
that's something
holy hell
it's galling
if I cared
I'd be livid
the contrast baby
it's vivid

2.5155 : 6/14/19 : So Hard

This shouldn't be so hard
straighten up lay a card
get in the slim percent
where all the gurus went
where all the swamis fled
all canon in your head
Old enough now to calcify
I hope as a stand up guy
So hard to ignore the news
Go dark while the dark age brews

2.5154 : 6/13/19 : Shut It

I should know better
I should shut it
be a go getter
when it gets tough
gut it
just be a winner
stop complaining
stop protesting
stop explaining

what

2.5153 : 6/12/19 : The Gateway

The gateway of
everything that ever was
trips so lightly
off the tongue
really we're
in a deep well
at the far end
a sparse bead strung
is this a saga
or a tuba solo
incompetently played
by a dumb fool
would you really want to
Call up the gateway
probably wipe me out
but hey it will look cool

what

2.5152 : 6/11/19 : Disturb

Hilarious
do I dare disturb
like the universe
would notice
me kicking the curb
hanging
griping
nothing but talk
should only meditate
and take a walk
watch the plate and fork
mind the refurb
and don't bother to worry
what I might disturb

what

2.5151 : 6/10/19 : Cobble

Call halt
due to time
spent cobbling
story of decades
in theory I'm hobbling
to some finish
better left
undescribed
some unlabeled
potion
better left unimbibed

what

2.5150 : 6/9/19 : Placebo

Take the placebo
guessing the affliction
is mostly in the mind
like anxiety, addiction
like mortal fear
the apprehension to save
a world unaware of me
Why rant why rave
just take the placebo
and get at the task
well it feels real enough
if you have to ask

what

Monday, June 08, 2026

2.5149 : 6/8/19 : Pack

Comes the pack
well I remember
little enough
left of that ember
is it the fine source
I need to tap
and if I can't get there
guess it gets built from scrap

what

Sunday, June 07, 2026

2.5148 : 6/7/19 : Regimen

Seven and
seventy
days of regimen
the heavy
the plod
the real time
by god
by gosh
and by gut
the lean
past
the glut

what

2.5147 : 6/6/19 : Hobby

Forget importance
pick up a hobby
since we're all cooling
our heels in this lobby
wait for the call up
must be a next rank
something smells off bro
not much in the tank

what

2.5146 : 6/5/19 : Productivity

Forget myself
in minor
productivity
pretend there is
some aim to this
proclivity
run it all
over on a loop
forget it
this thought
flew the coop

what

Thursday, June 04, 2026

2.5145 : 6/4/19 : Crank

Sure I'm a
crank
well I
want one
to turn it
up
well I'm
a blunt one
look from
here
the scene
spells doom
Somewhere
in the clockwork
hope like hell
some spark
goes boom

what

Wednesday, June 03, 2026

2.5144 : 6/3/19 : Story

Because the thing
doesn't work
like a story
probably the future
is going to
get gory
maybe knock
my little perch out
oh well
make a channel
and get the merch out
either let me
forget it
and get on sinking
like the rest
or show me the
damn arena
and unleash the test

what

Tuesday, June 02, 2026

2.5143 : 6/2/19 : Stunt

Pure stunt
got nothing sincere
something
with nothing
So me
so here
that memory trip
at two removes
is giving me
the grippe
don't wake me
from the depths
again
and I'll try
not to slip

what

Monday, June 01, 2026

2.5142 : 6/1/19 : Abstraction

Abstraction
Aspiration
Consternation
This routine
Want to
beat the cycle
it's so tough
and mean
I try so hard
to conceive
a real
alternative
can I even
stand to say
I've got
something to give
