2.5188 : 7/17/19 : True Quill (The Experiment: 23/100)

You with the true quill

shouldn't condescend

to tell us hoipolloi

about our foolish dreams

and where the path

of striving ought to meet its end

look to your own fault

Shift your own eyebeams

Don't we know well enough

who's known and who's admiring

who makes a dark patch

in the shadows of the crowd

it's not your place to

critique our poor desiring

so zip it if we dare

to dream out loud

what

2.5185 : 7/14/19 : The Farthest (The Experiment: 20/100)

Just fooling

fooling fooling

I ain't none

of their kind

and the page

no doubt the farthest

it will get

past my mind

what

2.5153 : 6/12/19 : The Gateway

The gateway of

everything that ever was

trips so lightly

off the tongue

really we're

in a deep well

at the far end

a sparse bead strung

is this a saga

or a tuba solo

incompetently played

by a dumb fool

would you really want to

Call up the gateway

probably wipe me out

but hey it will look cool

what

2.4939 : 11/10/18 : Pretend

Pretend pretend

Don't know what else

all the partisans

fooling themselves

but what does being smart

get anyone

not a dime

not another day in the sun

So am I giving up?

Heaven forfend

so until I'm feeling it again

guess I pretend, pretend

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

2.4851 : 8/14/18 : Hollow Summer

Summer grows hollow

even in the heat

center turns to dry pith

in the long days' retreat

every one seems quicker

illusion of age

and really they've got longer

as our impact turns a page

never again that long spell

left on my own devices

better not to dwell

hours spent on fools and vices

and every hollow summer

falls into itself at last

thinking how to fall indifferent

thinking through and holding fast

what

2.4816 : 7/10/18 : Regimen

Finally get enough sleep

get on a gratitude regimen

frequent active breaks

could I be the specimen

so many tricks

that I never apply

meditate, eat great

will I ever be that guy

It just can't go on

the gnashing and grumbling

Where's the effect tho

of this truth to which I'm tumbling

the regimen sits

in its dusty box

and you'd be a fool

to invest in my stocks

what

2.4754 : 5/9/18 : Den

First thing I'll get out

of this den of waste

can't think about the hours spent

can't afford the the slightest taste

What I go to

barely a setup

better than nothing

and I'll never got my rep up

anyway so not to worry

about missing every scene

and blowing up the fantasy of

Somehow getting out clean

imagine I'll be back well

jump off that bridge when it's here

did you hear the one about

the fool waiting for me to appear

what

2.4750 : 5/5/18 : Slack Star

Damn it but I can't stop

working too hard

damn me I've got no slack

Times got too tough

for a working bard

now I'm hip deep in the muck

Try to figure if it's working

out oh try to justify

but I'm not on the side of angels

try to figure if I bought in

to the big dumb lie

and try to find different angles

I can't stop picking

at the seams

trying to tear through to where You are

I can't give up quite

on such foolish dreams

grind my way to being the Slack Star

what

2.4748 : 5/3/18 : Deez Nuts

Alla deez nuts

aint' gonna stop burning

alla deez nuts

ain't gonna stop yearning

You want a solution

for the typical yutz

you gotta contend

with alla deez nuts

go try to fool them

nuts get wiley

get them in the feels

nuts just get smiley

preach like an angel

hear LOL butts

you gotta contend

with alla deez nuts

don't know if they're

the sickness or symptoms

mostly not villains

mostly not pimp bums

lotta cheap johns though

and I'm such a putz

still thinking I can talk

to alla deez nuts

what

2.4747 : 5/2/18 : Hand Over Hand

How to retrack

kick the inertia back

How to revise the tool

though I'll look a bit the fool

I tried hand over hand

the one foot two foot

kick off the dust

still shuffling in the soot

what's this routine about

just trying to get faster

because time is spilling

and I'm rarely my own master

what

2.4743 : 4/28/18 : Fooled

Fooled by an idea

in my head

thought to have done

did nothing instead

Flip the counter

back to nothing, flat

just when I don't want to

ger a second at bat

what

2.4641 : 1/16/18 : Anxious Frame

What percent of this is an anxious frame

Still waiting for something

amazing to happen

How on earth after all these years

How I'd like to give

the fool a sound slapping

Still wrangling around in this restless mind

the arbitrary versus

the wait for the call

and the dark surmise see it plain in my eyes

that both sides are bankrupt

and there's really just nothing

at all

what

2.4614 : 12/20/17 : Attention

I'd be the first to admit

and the last two admit

because who else could be

paying attention to it

that the caper the plot

might sound good but it's not

got a budget or schedule

and already you hedge fool

I see where I put my attention

say I have to but fail to mention

never time left for plan I

if I'm counting right well am I

am I yet hopeless enough

to crack to break out for this slough

what

2.4607 : 12/13/17 : Enjoy the Fantasy

Already mad

but will I ever get even

think about blowing up

think about leaving

Piss on my desk

Fly both free birds high

goodbye fellow fools goodbye

Enjoy the fantasy

While you may

Some seven hours hence

Sure enough another day

And I'm eating what I'm served

with a dead false smile

and that's all I'll have to say

for a while

what

2.4600 : 12/06/17 : Kicking

So when do I start kicking back?

rally from this sneak attack

When do I run up the flag?

One man party always stag

I tried my best at being done

settle for the stick a little weekend fun

not sure who was fooled by my act

maybe all I saw was tact

Still unconvinced I've got a play

I say I'll kick off any day

the stance collapsed by ten o' clock

another day kicking it in drydock

what

2.4503 : 8/31/17 : Fooled Again

Fooled again

by the big charade

Seems unlikely

I'll ever have it made

and getting angry

in a useless way

lost the narrative

and so what's to say

that's been restated

too many times to count

and taken altogether

to what does it amount

it isn't all it is

and thanks for that

but dear Lord

I'm ready for a new hat

what

2.4502 : 8/30/17 : All Regrets

All regrets as

still unrecovered

I find there isn't

much I discovered

really in all those

channels and shards

a kind of weary

send up

for the fool-king

of the bards

what

2.4477 : 8/5/17 : Money Wave

Dream of surfing this

American money wave

some say it's crashing soon

best jump for one last rave

One time I'll hit the timing

get in on floor one

jump at the very peak

call me mister one and done

dreams are easy math is hard

never showed the head for it

what fool would bet on me

more for me when I hit

what

2.4472 : 7/31/17 : Reverie

Dont call it a reverie

It'd be an affront to reverence

Dumb slump at the end of day

balanced on a fool's fence

between waking and sleeping

lingering in a limbo curious

another thing to try to throw over

time sapping stiff injurious

what
