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

2.5135 : 5/25/19 : Self Evident

The strikeline failed

self-evident

right here the same

self-referent

the little errors

fix them in post

If I even get there

may well like most

what will recall

some other version

hey there you

how goes the recursion?

what

2.5128 : 5/18/19 : Lead Inevitably

These efforts to mark

the turning point

lead inevitably

to failing

Until you reach

the breach

You cannot plan

your assailing

this night for sure

is a tale to be told

but I've not heart now for telling

call it a tree

in some forest remote

a silence uninhabited

is felling

what

2.5120 : 5/10/19 : So Dumb

A plan so dumb

it just might fail

snake master class

to bite the tail

but funny times

might well get failed

proprietary

and silence railed

what

2.5017 : 1/27/19 : WRONG

Flat failure

already days back

trying hard

not to attract

more flack

I'll suffer my

consequence

and move it

along

It's hilarious

how it all

keeps going wrong

what

2.5015 : 1/25/19 : The Comedown

What did I do to deserve

existence

what if there's no reward

to persistence

What if there's no onwards

only continuing

and nothing on earth exists

to bring you things

I hate this feeling

call it the comedown

call it noiseome

dismal and brown

All I'm looking forward

to's my man's next book

he never heard of me

and hell never take

a look

I give a rat's ass

it's my cardinal failing

but I care so I stay

well away from

the railing

I hate this feeling

call it the comedown

call it noisome

dismal and brown

what

2.5000 : 1/10/19 : If I Should Fail

Before I start, perceive

it's all about

the tall tale

Deep down think it's for

the better if I

should fail

do I think the magic

number will

prevail at last

however it turns

out

it's surely

no grail

what

2.4995 : 1/5/19 : To Arrest Progress

Soon wrap it up with

failed groping to

arrest progress

Guess I'm trying to keep ancient

history alive but

hey I digress

under the shadow of a

nasty turn in the inner

labyrinth

fail or luck out it'll be a

long day before I

get out of the tall grass

what

2.4898 : 9/30/18 : Jump

Jump before I get

dark as pitch

keep it to yourself

avoid the stitch

maybe next time

the fool's refrain

that stripped the snitch

and left a stain

That hexed my accounts

all loss no gain

old tricks have failed

so must retrain

what

2.4836 : 7/30/18 : Resistor

Resistance peaking

could I yet break through

chased by a nightmare

where I lost

and failed you

what does that nemesis

represent

a ghost of the past

threat of

the present

to what end

this role as the resistor

am I boiling down

a signal

can I insist your

grand arrangement

promises some guiding

will my plodding walk

ever again feel

like gliding?

what

2.4732 : 4/17/18 : Nails

The random

stupidity

has got me

spitting nails

and in its glare

for once

my persistence

fails

what

2.4693 : 3/09/18 : Layers

Delight and dark ire

lay side by side

like layers of flotsam

piled up by the tide

try to burnish one

banish the rest

seems every day

I retake, fail this test

what

2.4656 : 1/31/18 : The Remnants

Before I give in

tip the scales

I'll scribe a tiny letter

to my many fails

the many incarnations

of this very book

the remnants plain to see

here if you take a look

from one perspective

we're doing well

but from a certain aspect

it's for sure

a living hell

and the mobile feast

keeps shifting past

and still I dream

my time will come at last

what

2.4635 : 1/10/18 : Instant Regret

Regrets

I've had a few

Some as instant

as how I fell for you

And I hope it all

adds up on

your side of the scales

my instant regrets

my epic fails

stacked against

my tiny triumphs

my most favorite tales

what

2.4619 : 12/25/17 : Do and Don't

These things I do

and these things I don't

wonder if I ever will

and what happens if I won't

try to find some conception

that doesn't sound like a stunt

familiar but still failing

every morning bears the brunt

what

2.4611 : 12/17/17 : Pin Drop

What's next

the pin drop

what failed

the Big Pop

what's right

not much son

half baked

and all done

what

2.4610 : 12/16/17 : Rapid Failure

Rapid failure

I don't care to explain

took a detour

on behalf

of the lower brain

if that's the

word for it exactly

at this point

I'm just acting

what

2.4608 : 12/14/17 : Thought Word

I need to break the

pattern

so bad

the world's gone

mean-angry

hateful

and mad

oh how to be

that change

we need

failing such in

thought word

and deed

what

2.4482 : 8/10/17 : Task

Hardly caring

and certainly not daring

and the discharge of the battery

seems to produce no energy

pins and needles

the old coward whines and wheedles

need I go on?

it's not much of a koan

did I used to be brighter

somehow more of a fighter

am I coming around

or just producing mocking sound

will it make it to the LP

I expect no one will help me

particularly as I fail to ask

and every moment is just a task.

what

2.4432 : 6/21/17 : Plans that Failed

The plans that failed

to account

for fiddly time

in great amount

or future years

for traveling light

pigheaded disposition

to stay up late

at night

disinclined to pick at

just what kept me at it

after so many times

I declared I'd just had it

still left out where I once began

another night another plan

what
