2.5210 : 8/8/19 : Blank (The Experiment: 45/100)

Drawing a blank
gets me thinking on
who has been transformed
and what about me
am I yet reformed
firmly fixed
in a supposed
power locus
could I sieze, direct it
If I just had focus
don't actually feel
like I've got much control
in need of rehabilitation
of my world weary soul

2.5208 : 8/6/19 : S.O.S. (The Experiment: 43/100)

Not a distress call
It's a slogan, y'all
You could say it rhymes
with Inflame Cold Grit
almost inspirational
the original
is not a bit
just another wave
of anxiety
blank, pessimistic
mundanity
the asylum is
a listing barge
All captains crazy
all crazy in charge
and the S.O.S.
is drowned in bleats
and most will go down
never left
their seats

2.4910 : 10/12/18 : Real Blank

Ache for a real
blank
rather than this
muddled chatter
When I catch a glimpse
the fog cranks high
like the dope
thinks it'll shatter
ho that I'd
like to exterminate
and the real blank
it's be so great

2.4394: 5/14/17 : Cheated

Shouldn't feel cheated
Given to greed
Should write a hymn of thanks
not another angry screed
Where do I get off
question for ages
Where can I get off
this sinking ship
of muddy pages
Yet we are getting cheated
of our world of sheaves and ploughshares
so I say to the hoipolloi
who file past it with blank stares

2.4320 : 3/1/17 : Mess

Sometimes the mess
before I even started
quit it faster
than I can be thwarted
blanked out
and a stumbly pen
shutter the light and send
this hound back to
his den

2.4234 : 12/5/16 : Finish

Ignore every finish line
the tale that makes me
pine and pine
no revolutions gonna strike
maybe next year
blank book
new bike
time passes slow
but years fall
like snow
wouldn't want to wish
things back
to long ago
but I'd go
For total recall
at the finish
maybe finally
scale that wall

2.4231 : 12/2/16 : The Night Manager

Only civilization cares
I said it but it was a lie
because I care
and if you need someone
to manage your night
I might be passing by
the gremlin took my
meta mind
I had solid state back-up
take but a fire to mock me
entropy will always stack up
civilization
and I care
civilization
and I care
I won't get by
on the good old blank
stare
'cause next year
civilization
and I care

2.4058 : 6/12/16 : Outrage

Forgot for a minute
the latest outrage
no tomorrow
no blank page
no idea how it could relate
to my next stage

2.4019 : 5/4/16 : All Powers

Primal simplicity
please come and
live with me
get me
undiversified
all powers
unified
climb off the
savior kick
wait for
some new move to click
dance me
right off this stage
show me the
great blank page

2.3870: 12/07/15 : Student

Hereby let it be marked
the student did appear
sharp pencil notebook
I was on time I was right here
the student is done taking blame
the student did his part
I am on fire to learn and change
to master a useful art
here is the blank
left behind my name
let it be noted all
It was not me who broke the chain

2.3759 : 8/18/15 : Positivity Experiment (Endless Axis 492/500)

Not experimental
talented or tight
no good excuse
for what keeps me up
all night
nobody looking
to collaborate
Why do I work
to prop up this blank slate
end of the
positivity experiment
is nigh
What could the conclusion
be except I
guess I'm not that guy
what could the conclusion
be but
try try again
then blame it on
the Devil
and original sin

2.3643 : 4/24/15 : Eraser (Endless Axis 376/500)

Rub out the good
with the bad
mighty eraser
I'll hand it over glad
pal I need a chaser
to wash out the taste
of what I erased
Once was a mark
now a lovely blank page
a whole new book
ain't it a whole new age
ain't it everything but
a real clean slate oh so what

2.3596 : 3/8/15 : Infinite Blank (Endless Axis 329/500)

The infinite blank space
of this virtual
post-modern
Oh the look on
your face
baby that ain't
concern
better not
dare try
to try to guess odds
do the math
think this is
where I
Came in so
there's my path

2.3491 : 11/23/14 : Reclamation (Endless Axis 224/500)

Find in true thanks
a passage into
transformation
been writing empty lines
and shooting blanks
but this new foundation
will establish
reclamation

2.2919 : 04/30/13 : Story (II)

That story is old so I'm killing it
still the page is blank so I'm filling it
When I find the new story I'll be telling it
When I'm not building I'm selling it
I have to share it because it's so fine
I have to claim it because it is mine
I never said it would be accessible
You'll hear it brother if you can spare me a decibel
and when the beat gets hot I'll be pumping it
I'll build my rolling stock while you're dumping it
and at the option call I'll be slaying you
you'll only have ears for what I'm playing you

2.2847 : 02/17/13 : No Apology

No apology
for thin blank verses
for reused phrasing
God damn my curses
I crawled up far enough
just to shake my fist at the sun
and fell back into a hazy mire
with a feeling something had begun

2.2724 : 10/17/12 : Sell Out

If they offered me a paycheck
and a slot to tuck in
I'd sell out this mess so fast
your little head would spin
but there is no they
and nobody is buying
So it's back to the blank sheet
as it seems I'm far from dying
What a miserable topic
You must be so bored
as I struggle to embrace
what I claimed I once abhorred
we who never truly hungered
never truly faced the street
will sell out industry's last dregs
as we drag and drag our feet

2.2654 : 8/8/12 : Trilogy

No one's going to
line up for my trilogy
the hero only wanted
to escape and get free
you could fit it on the
jacket leave all pages blank
I'll have to think a while longer
about who I'd like to thank

2.2239 : 06/20/11 : Carte

That whistle far off
means soon departing
you can bring whatever
you can fit on this carte-thing
the false scarcity
of ideas
versus the silly notion
that the truth will free us
I've got no reason
to be confident
I'd be hard put
to say that I was sent
I must demure
if asked was there a call
they handed me this blank card
that was all
and not too many
days have past I have not scribbled
some days they roared in torrents
some days they dribbled
and sure plenty
seems so dumb I cringed
but the card seems to keep me
this side of unhinged
and however much I put down
on this crazy ride
believe it or not
there's another side

2.1988 : 10/12/2010 : Blanked

Blanked out on whatever
I thought I had on my mind
Leaving an empty status
that left me in a bind
I've got no continuity
I've got no future plan
I just keep dreaming of seeing
the flash of gold in my pan
