2.5202 : 7/31/19 : Challenge Phase (The Experiment: 37/100)

Real challenge phase

gets its mark

call that a challenge

boy must lack spark

don't judge me

I'm still afflicted

and I've plenty of ways yet

go get it contradicted

what

2.5201 : 7/30/19 : Wise One (The Experiment: 36/100)

It's time to call the

reckoning

if the pattern fits

We're going down

to earth

deep where the

wise one sits

and if your

question isn't ready

why you'll waste

Your chance

why'd you come

on to the party

if you didn't

plan to dance

Worry: maybe there's

no wise ones

just fancy robes

mull that ugly

take, while

the floor light strobes

what

2.5200 : 7/29/19 : Cup of Tea (The Experiment: 35/100)

cup of tea

and hearken back

some thousands

nice work

for a hack

I hack and cough

familiar trough

nice work

admire

cast it off

a century

still few are free

but can't deny us

a nice cup of tea

what

2.5199 : 7/28/19 : Soft (The Experiment: 34/100)

tell you I

deserve soft transition

pray silence

precedes ignition

and this affliction

is a passing storm

merely harbinger

of an advanced from

what

2.5198 : 7/27/19 : Gimmick (The Experiment: 33/100)

Smashed the gimmick

dumb predicatable

jamming in the

interstices

more damange

inflictable

let me here vow

to eschew

forevermore

to try to make this thing

a marker

of any long past door

what

2.5197 : 7/26/19 : Think (The Experiment: 32/100)

But I just

think about it instead

And it just

rattles around in my head

with all the others

bits and trinkets

whatever floats by

why I grab on

and think it

and I sure don't

know the solution

and I'm sure not

expecting any revolution

what

2.5196 : 7/25/19 : Write It Down (The Experiment: 31/100)

So far so good

don't even miss it right

this not so good

someday to be smooth and tight

like a drum like a hum

relax just write it down

there's no penalty for trying

choose a verb over a noun

choose a hope over a fear

see me shredding see me booking

said the teacher will appear

maybe this time I'll be looking

what

2.5195 : 7/24/19 : BIG RED X (The Experiment: 30/100)

I joke about it

what I secretly cling to

I will mark the big red X

and surprisingly bring you

the perfect from now on

the smooth ascent

and that's not even my song

and by noon it's well bent

only to stop

this litany of nonsense

the dumb inner voice

what passes for the present tense

the poetic passage

of an age of regret

X marks the zero start

how long oh Lord oh please reset

what

2.5194 : 7/23/19 : Distraction (The Experiment: 29/100)

I can claim distraction

quite reasonably

I can blame reaction

the treason of memory

when getting back to zero

sounds like shangri la

If I'm fiddling like Nero

better whip up this Ladida

what

2.5193 : 7/22/19 : Recognition (The Experiment: 28/100)

Things change

expect it or not

try to stand still

recognition hits the spot

been here before

and it's oh so hard

to flow with the change

focus on the next yard

what will be my token

Who will deliver

I'll drown you in my pleading

I'll cry you a river

what

2.5192 : 7/21/19 : Many Outliers (The Experiment: 27/100)

Does this fit the pattern?

already so many outliers

Try to buck up but oh Mama

could I run with the high fliers

used to call it early riser

same old time and same old place

gave up on the formalism

and oh hell this look on my face

I am dreaming of the pattern

but it will take working ahead

I am trying to see glory

but each time I'm feeling dread

this is the one but one

the only moment other present

I will join the new dominion

tell that president to get bent

what

2.5191 : 7/20/19 : Poison (The Experiment: 26/100)

Pick my poison

some things go way back

No grace or poise on

build up the stack

with another admonition

to ignore all prior timelines

Latest hymn to king attrition

scrapping coins to pay my rhyme fines

my inflation style syllabic

pick my poison see the trend

watch me pull my usual drab trick

drift lift spill mill wend

what

2.5190 : 7/19/19 : FIVE (The Experiment: 25/100)

Seen each card in this hand

So give me another five

Can't imagine much luck coming

but I have to try you understand

merely a hook where my hat's hung

what's left beyond to strive and strive

or mooch around this shill I'm slumming

look askance at my lute loose strung

remember the day of the green band?

for me three more to five

not going anywhere, alive

So pray keep wound this slender strand

what

2.5189 : 7/18/19 : Fun (The Experiment: 24/100)

Whatever fun I had in mind

forget about it

whatever plan

I thought I'd find

sincerely doubt it

looking too hard at

the mirror

wondering who

will crack first

and will some

new passage appear or

will the fun

unleash the smack burst

what

2.5188 : 7/17/19 : True Quill (The Experiment: 23/100)

You with the true quill

shouldn't condescend

to tell us hoipolloi

about our foolish dreams

and where the path

of striving ought to meet its end

look to your own fault

Shift your own eyebeams

Don't we know well enough

who's known and who's admiring

who makes a dark patch

in the shadows of the crowd

it's not your place to

critique our poor desiring

so zip it if we dare

to dream out loud

what

2.5187 : 7/16/19 : No Opinion (The Experiment: 22/100)

Wiped out and

don't even care about it

getting up

is the key, I doubt it

interest is

fading fast now

in iconoclast now

no opinion and

no hill to shout it

I'll cop

it's the easy shortcut

I can moan that

I lack support but

say I keep trying

is anyone buying

Say keep your chin up

and I retort what

what

2.5186 : 7/15/19 : Imaginary Friends (The Experiment: 21/100)

Talk silent keep it

in your head

subvocal by

inner eye be led

It's been awhile

while I pursued the winding ends

but I think I

need to check in

with my imaginary friends

Dear souls I

really need a better way

to feel about this mess

Dear souls

I'm suffering a

fair bit past the usual distress

Want to feel positive

a winner

full of confidence

but I'm not hearing

much reply

so shrug goodbye

and hie me hence

what

2.5185 : 7/14/19 : The Farthest (The Experiment: 20/100)

Just fooling

fooling fooling

I ain't none

of their kind

and the page

no doubt the farthest

it will get

past my mind

what

2.5184 : 7/13/19 : Too Few Words (The Experiment: 19/100)

Too slow too few words

so far from cool oh do you feel me nerds?

middle age white dude explain your 401k

I heard about your optimism, not today

and someday stumble on a wall of text

and pray something briefer comes next

Call it the call the imp perverse

you don't got another smoke in your purse

that there's a marker true

dial back the words again get blue

thinking on the murky road ahead

think that I'll curtail the wall of text instead

slower slower till it looks like stopping

less and less words nothing popping

nothing moving not a word in sight

not a glimmer stretching into night

what

2.5183 : 7/12/19 : Rapid (The Experiment: 18/100)

Rapid deployment

the long wound spring

Lord when I roar

into view

like anything

none will notice

indeed none will care

it's nothing to me

I'll already be there

what
