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

what

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

what

2.4795 : 6/19/18 : Squawk

Get all multitasky

meanwhile

life's got pretty

mask-y

once again or maybe

I just like the pose

this grindy

isn't me

or else it gets the hose

not finding

much else to be

there goes that

road I don't like

miss the days

I rode around on my bike

waiting on my own

signal

full of big talk

still feels like the cycle

So listen to me squawk

what

2.4722 : 4/7/18 : Minute

Thought I got ahead

for a minute

but that minute

has been and gone

so many like it

go past me

right now all

seeming very long

And just right now

just can't examine

the cycles and the cycles

feast or famine

what

2.4654 : 1/29/18 : Tune

The tune in my head

Cycles in a round

Sometimes hum along

Sometimes don't make a sound

and it goes goes

Oh so slowly

and softly well suited

for one so weak so lowly

what

2.4652 : 1/27/18 : Anywhere

So many places to

go to be

not especially concerned

that there I'll still be me

So many places

but for the straightjacket

the sunken cost

the business cycle

of course the debt racket

many never make it

much of anywhere

live the life you choose

so why should I care

but a seed planted early

still tries to sprout

but I wouldn't lay money

that I'll ever get out

what

2.4617 : 12/23/17 : Back to Ground

Far from the only one

sick of the grownup run

Time got so tight and fast

afraid to ask

how long it will last

feels like the terminal

round

I'll never get back to

ground

unless I find

what's the name?

each cycle comes

to this same

what

2.4557 : 10/24/17 : Drive By Nerds

Haven't I run out yet

words on words

something to impress

the drive by nerds

rather have a tin whistle

drone by the hour

no bigger audience

but I might be less dour

Could sit for an hour

Won't learn a lick

won't break the cycle

or update my schtick

what

2.4518 : 9/15/17 : Nub

think I'm

worn to a nub

ah there's

the rub

I knew the cycle

and this

mission's a scrub

never a thing to prove

the bell's rung

and I have

to move

what

2.4506 : 9/3/17 : Cycles

Is it just

the cycles

nothing really to solve

goes down

must come up

must go back down

no one to blame or absolve

Is the world getting

better or worse

or just standing

just standing stock still

the problem is people

are not percentages

and just too damn many

running up the bill

what

2.4433 : 6/22/17 : Say Cycles

To say cycles, again

is redundant

pack in

a thousand

lights a minute

then recyle

and begin it

right blast off

yes perfection

like I feel

in my

infection

self awareness

this imp

yeah there's

a story

to this limp

what

2.4368 : 4/18/17 : Theory

Scratch out a new theory

of the method of the weary

too plot out of the old cycle

call Fortuna call on Michael

ten in hand

one leads the band

by sea and sand

and there to let it stand

the wise ones stacked like crooked blocks

scratched words and rhymes

on scattered rocks

I'm not their kind

a lesser mind

and little skill to bind

and all that's left behind

what

2.4299 : 2/8/17 : Always New

Holler back

to cycles

like sick again

somehow

always new

old unwelcome friend

not feeling

eloquent

mired and

glued

and though

the cycle will turn

tonight I'm

buried in

its brood

what

2.4154 : 9/16/16 : 7 Year

The seven year cycle

is scratching at me

These pendulum hooks

always catching at me

and the whispers make

me get down at the heels

and forever thinking

on these spinning wheels

7 years again and again

and how many more

between less than one

and less than a hundred seems pretty sure

please don't even

get me started on eternity

rivers lost in the

fog of the burning puzzle tree

what

2.3890: 12/27/15 : Crown

This world's no present

if I dare to say

not for must of us

well not everyday

or most of them

and the endings: atrocious

and possibility

curse of the precocious

this: lacking vision

too long down

fed up with daydreams

of the golden crown

one way kept avoiding

silence: stillness

maybe that way at last

the cycle of brilliance

what

2.3875: 12/12/15 : Life Four

Someone's out to teach me

something with this latest cycle

don't know what but

it's pressing pressing

something about the

work relentless and

something about all these

dreams distressing

and something about these

bells I keep hearing

tolling for ones who

Somehow so it sounds like snapped

I've had enough, hearing

things all too terrible

and somewhere back a minute

a life four got scrapped

what

2.3833: 10/31/15 : Spin

Spin up another

just to

Strike it straight down

this vicious cycle

still makes me frown

used to think it enough

now I'm not so sure

every minute spinning by

every cost yet to incur

what

2.3678 : 5/29/15 : Toll (Endless Axis 411/500)

What's this usual

rigamarole

the old familiar

hell bell toll

What else to say

been there too

and hating being back

through and through

I groan and toss

the cycle dismal

the toll it takes

no entry abysmal

what

2.3108 : 11/05/13 : Cycles Vicious

Feeling the cycles

vicious in the repetitions

the want to stop

the crazy machine

we're all on it

and yelling won't do anything

the bad stretch

always under the weather

how does everybody

keep it together

hope there's a bigger thing

a gear to engage

depart the cycles vicious

spin up a golden age

what

2.2873 : 03/15/13 : The Glimpse

The Glimpse into the past
reveals too much
the principle of cycles
my clumsy touch
100 just reasons
to throw in the towel
the plow, the sword,
the telephone and the trowel

what
