2.5239 : 9/6/19 : Quiet Vector (The Experiment: 74/100)

Lock the rider
on the quiet vector
these prior days
become as a specter
insubstantial
distant and cold
You wouldn't be the first
to say this shit's getting old
every time I forget
the rule to never respond
I think about that dismal sphere
and what could lie beyond

2.5238 : 9/5/19 : Routine (2) (The Experiment: 73/100)

Not sure about the new routine
Undecorous I guess you'd say
Not really paying dividends
More sanity at end of the day
The state of things I hardly like to think
Maybe as cowardly as cynicism
To think that I thought that I could
shine a light
Lead at least a million to the
big post-ism
Could use a mentor and
another true friend
tell me are you saying what
you means to
Another day, the grossest
dumb cliché
Guess it's all part of the
routine, too

2.5237 : 9/4/19 : Decay (The Experiment: 72/100)

Waking up in the
decay of inner
pictures so banal
worse than the
empty pages
the endless hall
trying to find
some anodyne
for spitting inner ire
a channel to
direct this fire

2.5236 : 9/3/19 : Routine (The Experiment: 71/100)

If I was having my
morning coffee
on top of eight
hours of sleep
If I was wearing
better shoes
would the routine
feel more deep
If I can't find one
tiny bright star
in the midst of the
routine grind
well I think I think
I feel I fear
I might just
misplace my mind

2.5234 : 9/1/19 : Re: Dark Hour (The Experiment: 69/100)

In regards to
the dark hour
unable to return
to the enveloping sea
the lesson of unlearn
darkness on the rise
it seems like a book
or dark history
or is it just a hook
like that cloud of evil
Mr. Gray spoke about
long before it really got him
and took him out

2.5233 : 8/31/19 : Double Deck (The Experiment: 68/100)

Double decade
gone not
forgotten
try to be
philosophical
take the good
with the rotten
hell of a lot
of water flows through
nobody much
came to the 
rescue
and the old film
about the secret
reality
never really
played out
in any eventuality

what

2.5232 : 8/30/19 : Baffled (The Experiment: 67/100)

Get baffled
get angry
expecting people
to make sense
what the hell
am I waiting for
am I still on the fence
half hoping
they'll prove it
truly
unsalvageable
cut me free
to be pure selfish
why I'll just
have a ball

what

2.5231 : 8/29/19 : Gift (The Experiment: 66/100)

Up early
and tossing at night
want to rush
but I'm cautious
got to get it right
the perfect offering
to You I would uplift
just as soon
as I discover
my gift
maybe you struggle
as others say
so hard to choose for me
hey it's okay
but I sure wish
you'd quell the
pining in my heart
and if there's anything
more
I sure wish
it would start

2.5230 : 8/28/19 : Corners (The Experiment: 65/100)

Cut corners
to keep protocol
picture a burner
absolute ethanol
round bottom flask
in a stand
no idea what's cooking
no synthesis planned

what

2.5229 : 8/27/19 : Subtle (The Experiment: 64/100)

Take the subtle wisdom
upside my head
like a brick
for once could we
play it smart
not slick
or so I opine
from a dubious
throne
but I'm going to keep
shouting till the
subtle gets shown

what

2.5228 : 8/26/19 : Pursue Dreams (The Experiment: 63/100)

What this experiment reveals
Dream tide spits us out
each morning agog
Fiddling for the name
For whom
the alarm bell peals
try not to feel
immediately at slog
Pursue Dreams:
Well let me tell you Jack
mine are a weird pack
and unsuitable
for anything but shaking head,
shouldering up the stack
all interpretation
highly refutable

what

2.5227 : 8/25/19 : Too Much Coffee (The Experiment: 62/100)

Too much coffee
probably
maybe it's stress
all I know
it's all me
too much drifting
in this idiot sphere
maybe a nap
show up later
still here

2.5226 : 8/24/19 : Fair Day (The Experiment: 61/100)

Fair day
all obligations
suspended
a cheater's sabbath
but man the
month it ended
staid duty
will descend
soon enough
All I've got's a sketch
of a notion so
we go in rough

2.5225 : 8/23/19 : 21st Century (The Experiment: 60/100)


21st Century
well underway
can I deny my prime
was in the one passed away?
no: I protest my best work
is in the current fiasco
way things are going I'm
not sure I'm
Up to the task though
no use talking
about the then anymore
that crank's back on the shelf
ready or not we're
gasping on the next shore

2.5224 : 8/22/19 : Shut Down (The Experiment: 59/100)

I'd pay a fair price
for a shut down switch
because the inner voice
is well a bitch
and I am shooting
for a higher plane
above the grumbling crowd
above the stain
and I'd extend it
to society
the other-hate
passing for piety
failing the switch
I guess we sigh and fight
nobody said it
would be easy to be right

2.5223 : 8/21/19 : Favorites (The Experiment: 58/100)

What are your favorites?
Wrestle with that one
The old desert island
just a little fun
can you extend it
The pattern underneath
Some key just fit
get the medicine past your teeth
cure for the ailing heart
trapped between dwell and dare
assurance of the goal
food for the journey there

2.5222 : 8/20/19 : Sparks (The Experiment: 57/100)

Stand back and let me think
every once and a while
I'll create some sparks
I've got a serious puzzle to solve
it's not just wordplay
no time for larks
clench my fists, screw up my eyes
shake a little like
my tongue pokes out
Don't interrupt me don't make a sound
Don't break in to to ask me
What I'm thinking about
Putting it together the lock the light
the season the stone
a promise long deferred
keep searching somewhere a
lock a box
there is a treasure to balance
every loss incurred

2.5221 : 8/19/19 : Constraints (The Experiment: 56/100)

Try to see
The constraints as holy
That if I let down my guard
the angels won't roll me
down the negative
asymptote
into the swamp
waiting for the prehistoric
reptile to go chomp

2.5220 : 8/18/19 : Dark Sacrament (The Experiment: 55/100)

Dark sacrament
has to be at night
not exactly occult
just the absence of light
When I supplicate
it comes again never
at least once upon a time
seems you blessed that endeavor
Is it the root cause
of the bad vibes downstairs
will I ever leave it truly
this side of earthly cares
Once upon a time
it truly didn't exist
and oh if I could excise it
it really wouldn't be missed
