2.5270: 10/7/19 : How Long

How far have I come

well how long has it been

not all up and down

not all sweat and tin

stop trying to keep score

stop seeing a race

drill down on the core

beating heart strong in space

like a jewel on a line

monofilament mount

one at every crossing

hanging jewels beyond count

each one a pure heart

I have only to pluck

when it's been so long twice

I'll no longer be stuck

what

2.5262 : 9/29/19 : Real Science (The Experiment: 97/100)

In real science

the data run is just the start

this is no science

I'd had to debate

it's even art

a protracted

growl of protest

I didn't get the

crown I wanted

and it hurts

down in my chest

You could call me

heartsick

I get afraid it's

not an idle phrase

and these eye teeth

are far too long

to gloss it as

a passing phase

what

2.5257 : 9/24/19 : Something Like (The Experiment: 92/100)

Put away more

and still more

try to figure out

What anything's for

something like a sieve

something like a still

anything sweet left to

temper this bitter pill

is the goal to be content

or angry enough to leap

could I turn it around

with a little more sleep

I read our hearts are

made to endure

chasing down the long game

has a certain allure

by the end of this run

to have something like a plan

to get me somewhere

though I'm surely and also-ran

what

2.5231 : 8/29/19 : Gift (The Experiment: 66/100)

Up early

and tossing at night

want to rush

but I'm cautious

got to get it right

the perfect offering

to You I would uplift

just as soon

as I discover

my gift

maybe you struggle

as others say

so hard to choose for me

hey it's okay

but I sure wish

you'd quell the

pining in my heart

and if there's anything

more

I sure wish

it would start

what

2.5223 : 8/21/19 : Favorites (The Experiment: 58/100)

What are your favorites?

Wrestle with that one

The old desert island

just a little fun

can you extend it

The pattern underneath

Some key just fit

get the medicine past your teeth

cure for the ailing heart

trapped between dwell and dare

assurance of the goal

food for the journey there

what

2.5211 : 8/9/19 : Something Nice (The Experiment: 46/100)

If I can't say something

nice

how does that

go again?

do I make

something up

think they'll

notice when

I go quiet

never knowing when to start

or was that

where to start

Sure, be still

my heart

what

2.5174 : 7/3/19 : Pattern (The Experiment: 9/100)

The pattern long established there

how swiftly could it change

Trying to bind the other tracks

adapt and rearrange

unknowing if the shift it marks

could truly move the dial

The dirty secret of it all

just time to waste and while

I told the pattern chanced upon

may we fix things at the start

but all that stands in every way

know too well in my heart

and in the endless chatter of

this dialog of days

could ever a result true yield

and so the pattern frays

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

2.5122 : 5/12/19 : Passion Project

Passion project

revisit the old

raise it up a level

If I may be so bold

I couldn't want your brief

like I could ever hack it

but to have the access

if anyone would back it

and what would be

the project of my heart

back to the science at last

or the masks, second part?

or finally make that trip

the island of the coast

seems like I still don't know

what suits my passion most

what

2.4964: 12/5/18 : Satire

Not a bit of trouble

in my heart over the satire

sticks and stones

you know my heart

and its strange fire

say what you will I'm

bored with the debate

but wait to hear

a single word that

will inspire

what

2.4947 : 11/18/18 : Say Nothing

Getting that say nothing urge

befitting a say nothing dirge

take down the old graffiti

oh be still your heart so bleedy

be no protest be no cry

a few might notice by and by

like back in ancient days

shut up in class professor says

is anything amiss with you

I bluffed it then I will now too

stomach's sour, no heart ease

So I'll say nothing if you please

what

2.4900 : 10/2/18 : Pedant's Theory

Pedant's theory

of course

the countdown

doesn't start

at the nones

but at the ones

maybe I'll transform

overnight

so take heart

what

2.4869 : 9/1/18 : Shawshank

Want to bust out of this habit

like Shawshank prison

Warden's not answering me

maybe get somewhere with his son

Oh how will this one

be different than most

Remember care thanks

heart ideas time toast

So here's to all my other

last hurrahs

here's to booking right past

any thought might give me pause

add up the numbers

and call it a day

and day will come and

with the sun a hopeful ray

what

2.4833 : 7/27/18 : 3 Yr. Grind

I thought to plot

the three year grind

different this time

some shift in my mind

poke my head up

when I'm pushing fifty

ain't time's relentless

nature just nifty

one plan for the body

one plan for the call

one plan on earthly power

who else wants to have it all?

one plan for nature's sphere

dear to my heart

and the big one for the great axis

spirit song glory art

what

2.4829 : 7/23/18 : Not Deep

Turn down

the anger

get more

sleep

eat better

move more

it's not deep

Would all things

fall into place

Would you see

there on my face

oh far off friend

that joy at last

seen in your dream

crazy years past

not smart not deep

but from the heart

would that be how

the next would start

what

2.4796 : 6/20/18 : Write Good

Write good, I guess

I must obey

take every literal

word you say

picking favorites

it's a deep pool fair

or maybe just wide and shallow

hard to tell hout there

in my heart I fear

I'm in the heads down pack

evil runs around again

and I am seeking slack

yet get well bucked

every time I hit the box

If I could only harness

shift it all

in my own stocks

what

2.4792 : 6/16/18 : Dissolved

Smuggle an apple through

the gates of lost time

next up my day so called

so what's on my dime

come strike a blow

against the darkness of the heart

They'll never know

whence came the signal

for the start

paid out in pieces

hammered out the silver strand

I looked behind and

saw no fooprints in the sand

those were the times

before and after

He pulled a straight face

then we both

dissolved in laughter

what

2.4757 : 5/12/18 : Bearing

Can I relate

to the crushed

ball bearing

can't you read what I wrote

on the cuff I'm wearing

shot from the sleeve

where I'm wearing my heart

and so crazed I almost

think I'm ready to start

what

2.4755 : 5/10/18 : Go On About

Far from every

grinding impulse

heart brooding

and drums a grim pulse

and the last thing

I want to go on about

Better just screw down this mood

before it turns a rout

what

2.4729 : 4/14/18 : Old Trismegistus

Always winter

never Christmas

is this dark spring going to be

the end of old Trismegistus

I'm heavy on fed up

and weak on lore

and my foresight's all fouled

no idea what's in store

the view from the radar

is totally whack

and the digging out

is like to give me a heart attack

what
