2.5276 : 10/13/19 : Oracle

Nothing I can think of

matches up with

the oracle

or am I deluding myself or

did I

ignore the call

Any good surprises

left in this

century

were I doing it over

where would my

Sense of adventure be

for sure this week

I'll kick off

phase one of five

still not gave up

though lacking in drive

oracles can't do

the work I

require

but I'll need more than

lists for

the work I aspire

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

2.5083 : 4/3/19 : Transformation 5

Sole tool quiet

inaction

evolution

settlement

clarity

without transaction

transformation

five, twelve

seventeen thousand times

toss out new lives

like nickles

and dimes

what

2.5067 : 3/18/19 : Blink

Blink and miss

five seconds inspired

blink and find

disgusted tired

forget to

change the whole routine

forget and blink

and miss the scene

what

2.5059 : 3/10/19 : Prime

The darkest alt

turns out all my fault

turns out not parallel but serial

the prime I spout

by the pint imperial

the false bravado

the I give up

the fill-to gradient

of the loving cup

the abstract comment

on commonplace vice

all been said

five hundred times

time twice

that's a thousand

try to keep up

that's how the past prime

does creep up

what

2.5032 : 2/11/19 : More Like a Dive

Fair play

gets me sprung

in five

look for a leap

feels

more like

a dive

Five what?

Why, who's

Counting cat?

I kind of think

I'm going to

have to

insist on that

what

2.4954 : 11/25/18 : This Condition

That five minutes thing

Oh yeah that

thought I had

Still could get

after that

cut rate

Scheherazade

though I know I cannot

talk my way out

of this condition still

things to get on about

what

2.4865 : 8/28/18 : Swell

Not much here to match

the unearthly swell

no wonder they're all cheering

forget tomorrow just as well

forget what's marked

don't care for the figure

hope most don't notice

contemplation's de rigueur

and only really trying

to stretch out one last long goodbye

on the other side

of five more days

no plan I'll catch you

on the fly

what

2.4852 : 8/15/18 : Pheremones

What tracks this world's

pheremones

What is the queen?

is it money or influnece

whatever the means

mostly mindless following

following the trace

seldom remember to stop

look up feel sun on my face

like to think a year will be different

all the moreso five

something like my own track

at last, at least alive

to something I lost track of

distracted by false scent

back long the true line

Whatever that ever meant

what

2.4766 : 5/21/18 : There Was an Attempt

There was an attempt

to make measure

of just how far I strayed

from my true treasure

of how long an extension

I bought for the latest

series of contemplations

how I still could be the greatest

Someday sure I'll count the cost

write out a list of every item tossed

but today I'll write a zero

and start the count

five by five supplied

a fair amount

what

2.4719 : 4/4/18 : Kick

Stretched in five

directions

hell with it

worn out

the little card

to subscribe

got torn out

probably still

wouldn't have made it

if I'd begged

and cajoled

scrape together

some dignity

and get this

kick resoled

what

2.4630 : 1/5/18 : License

Never have the liver

for the hype race

but I won't hack another minute

with this po face

Want to imagine

big as worlds alive

you gave me the one

but I will dream this times five

I haven't got a plan

not even a list

but noboday has yet

come with the

cease and desist

I'll call it license

stand up and shout it

it's time to stick around

you want to hear about it

what

2.4533 : 9/30/17 : Try to Stall

When'd it all get so heavy

long before the dam or levy

Does light break through?

I'll leave that verse up to you

I did them in couplets and pairs

alternating and direct

some stumbled upon unawares

Some I struggled to erect

So in spite of whispers and stares

I'll lob you this soft ball

If there's a soul who still cares

to chase the questions to the back wall

try to make it back alive

So baby try to stall

Help's about to arrive

Just check it in a minute or five

what

2.4402: 5/22/17 : Lunatic

Lurk to catch the worm turn

Going to chase its tail

tried a thousand days

five times

over and again I fail

I cannot lose the scent

of this worm that makes me sick

with angry thoughts

inside laughing words

oh my such a lunatic

oh for once

have the hours to set me right

delve to the pure ore

and see my hands flow

with the bright

what

2.4370 : 4/20/17 : Try to Figure Out

Try to figure out

when faith matters most

notice who's the parasite

realize you are the host

who will you trust in between the lanes

not to push you under the bus

out on the mean streets

where only cement reigns

this ain't the end of me

not half not even close

I've got the medicine

I've got a double dose

count five twice open palm

and then I curl it tight

you best to cover up

I showed up here to fight

what

2.4269 : 1/9/17 : Dead Eye

Always aiming

always

scoping out

fifth decade

on the mission

still a

groping scout

never getting

that dead-eye

flow down

oh someday

I shall

there'll be

a hoe down

what

2.4161 : 9/23/16 : Another Seven

5 years scut on the floor

5 years apprentice

Don't speak the language

maybe non compos mentis

So many things

that will never happen

one that always will

this fantasy game

makes decision

a bitter pill

find my own crazy hours

find my galley kitchen

finally end this treading water

never time to get a stitch in

tear gets a little wider

can't think that way by heaven

5 years dirty starting now

and then another seven

what

2.4106 : 7/30/16 : Decks

Clear decks check boxes

as another time approaches

try to hold steady

as doubt, fear encroaches

the matter of use of meaning

what lesson am I missing or gleaning

pick a night to transcribe and turn in

am I just picking which

time to burn in

Say it ain't so

maybe whistling in the dark

maybe in a year or five

I'll find out if I hit a mark

what

2.4068 : 6/22/16 : Candidate

Candidate

for the long box

I did OK

got off

enough rocks

is it halfway

a fifth or third

What else to say

check it: word

what

2.4049 : 6/3/16 : 55

Fifty five

alive, alive

not a simulation

maybe a halfway

thrive

no certainty

all possible

this ain't the hit song

I'm under

the gospel spell

totally caught

nobody cares

and they crowned me king

of the

thousand mile stares

what
