2.4677 : 2/21/18 : Wobbly Pins

The wobbly pins
on this thing
Ain't gonna last long
Think you
know what
I'm gonna say
but you're wrong
hope I'll save the
Gap back
from this song

2.4527 : 9/24/17 : More Hassle

These gaps
near 'bout a fugue
hive is unquiet
more hassle
to deny yet
best plans
and the blah blah blah
No use
So usual
anymore?
Say nah

2.4414 : 6/3/17 : Am I

am I a comedian
an advocate
am I washed up
past it
plain old hat
these kids
are generation gapping me
and still the
old ambition
strapping me
am I going to
snap out of it
eventually
not that I'm
expecting answers
incidentally

2.3186 : 1/22/14 : Always Hidden

Always hidden:
the outcome: the snap
sometimes obvious
Sometimes a shot, a slap
flying out of darkness
stark as destiny
climb under the gap
you'll find the
rest of me
not a puzzle
not a secret handshake
no a hidden path
we might be led to take
When I speak of mystery
with the capital M
dream in drift
of this ever hidden
oceanic gem

2.1609 : 9/28/09 : Back Down in the Hole

There’s a lesson in this
if I bring myself to hear
the mission to get clear
can obscure what threw me
back down in the hole
back down in the hole
That’s easy but this is hard
to find another path to trod
wave the carrot or don’t spare the rod
Who knows what will keep me from falling
back down the hole
back down the hole
maybe I’ll leave one more gap
at least it won’t be the same today
maybe tomorrow well who can say
having nothing to do but hope and pray
I don’t end up just jumping
Back down the hole
back down the hole

2.1605 : 9/24/09 : Groan

Sometimes there’s nothing but to
hold your nose and groan over it
It’s shameful but there’s sure no point
in throwing a fit
I’m no less trapped
but my house is cleaner
no I had better get unplugged
before it makes me any meaner
when the gap is shut
and the ten year calendar is caught up
when the money’s flush
and the armageddon rations bought up
will I still be facing
this idiot pundit class
well I guess we’ll give those dolts
something new to harass

2.693 : 3/27/07 : Intent

So intent on
the gap the failing
the pit the hole
the shaky railing
my intention
I can’t recall
it anymore or
what it was at all
In the tent with
the holy of holies
praying to figure
how to pull a fast one
on the prollies
such an unGodly mission
such a hairsbreadth from a crime
I’d gladly go
the whole way down
If I weren’t scared
to do the time
So instead I cool my heels
wait for a message
heaven sent
or failing that
a pointed push
or failing that
intent

2.477 : 8/23/06 : The Gap Closed

The filthy cheating
serial
shows you the outcome
but does not tell
how it ever came about
we closed the gap
nothing else to say about it...

2.476 : 8/22/06 : At the Gap

It turned out that we’d only
dreamed about it
now to imagine we once
lived without it
yawning out
impassible
impossible
malignant and uncrossable
At the gap
and gaping baffled
longingly recall past
glasses, half full
bridgeless, earthbound
basically stumped
we shut our eyes
and screamed
and jumped

2.418 : 6/25/06 : Continuity

2,610 : 25 ?



Now auditioning
for the position of
continuity
all I need is
a perfect hour
that stretches from
from you to me
to two, too
it might seem like
something got damaged
something got lost
there is always
an agenda
there is
always a cost
this is ten years
this is thirty eight
this is ten seconds
let that egg wait
half an hour
halfway healed
fill the position
the gap
unannealed
