2.5026 : 2/5/19 : Commitment

So if the story

of commitment

Doesn't hold up

Leaving me

sitting stupid

with a cold cup

Who's the guy

that wakes

after the after-crash

hooboy you

invisibles

here comes a laughter bash

what

2.5025 : 2/4/19 : Break Character

Break character

and laugh it off

roll up and blaze

the chaff and cough

If I can just

cut it short and crash

bypass the predictable

and minimize the hash

what

2.4976 : 12/17/18 : Better Medicine

Better medicine

Can't I just drift and

laugh?

lark off and

do all things by half

Oh this stumblebum

reeling crawl

what would be left

when we burned

the chaff?

what

2.4975 : 12/16/18 : Husk

That's the big laugh

My stuff's all husk

so never would I

tour or busk

So wholly on

the wrong limb's branch

As far from well

as dawn's from dusk

what

2.4837 : 7/31/18 : Month March

Soon the month march

better locate my starch

year countdown three two one

to where the back half

of my century begun

chuckle if you

did the math

if I made the whole next fifty

must for sure

have earned wrath

at this rate

guessing that's not my fate

and anyway

everyday it's just march

every year

some wrench will appear

to overarch

what

2.4804 : 6/28/18 : Straw

That last straw is no joke

When you're the camel

I must have a breaking point

like any other mammal

If I told the tale

oh you'd laugh

I will someday I guess

but it's not the night by half

it doesn't hang together

there's no common thread

clammy and restless

and way too far from bed

making mistakes old and new

and at the crux

I'm just worn out and blue

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

2.4759 : 5/14/18 : Get Ahead

And now I think I see my chance

toe get ahead of the game

that I know is an illusion

but I chase it just the same

and if I do each thing just right

somehow pans out to the same

There's no ahead because there's

nothing but the game the game the game

While I cling to hope like a crazy hoarder

to think we used to laugh about the new world order

never imagined it could get so dumb and mean

to think I used to think I served the truth machine

that's enough that's where

I put my foot on the chalk mark

you better believe I will soliloquy

fall back before resolve so stark

In some sense I have stayed

one step ahead some way somehow

I'm hardly tearing up the scene

yet I've made it up to now

what

2.4655 : 1/30/18 : A Blessing

Soothe out the mind

on things

seen a thousand times

old laughs

are best laughs

a blessing

despite my crimes

despite my lapses

and frequent

pauses

I'm still limping

after all

my causes

what

2.4629 : 1/4/18 : Response

Laugh meanly at my past self

Strategy: right

this call and response game

getting old tonight

but oh I used to talk

how I'd get the man down

If they could see me now

I'd be a joke in this town

Lord am I still pretending

about to get it right

this call and response game

getting old tonight

pine for something better

soon back out in the cold

and this harkening back

has gotten oh so old

what

2.4587 : 11/23/17 : Pass

This too this too

shall pass

that was a joke

a lark a gas

the best medecine they say

long as I don't laugh too hard

well I never said

I was all that much

of a bard

what

2.4539 : 10/06/17 : Streamed

Too tired to fake clever

or merely disaffected

too many things turned out

as ever I expected

and as for wanted

wished or dreamed

he laughed so hard

he farily screamed

and while the new

religion streamed

I'll tease a tale

of digging out

and now the

long retreat

becoming a rout

what

2.4456 : 7/15/17 : Washing

Washing from a

summer vacation

smells like sweat

and suntan lotion

smells like captured

sun and ocean

Memories from a

summer vacation

would it be fine

always on vacation

everyone laugh as if

it's not a question

what

2.4416 : 6/5/17 : Big Casino

Do I get into a scrap again?

On the great attenuated

sort of conversation

Do I concede the point?

is anybody making

any impact on this joint

all back and forth

and la di da

if the big casino

noticed it they'd laugh, haha

I know where to

point my effort at

turn off the screen

and don my night hat

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

2.4369 : 4/19/17 : Blunders

My share of blunders

foul the data

reveal some secret kink

to wipe out the slate, a

theory of self-sabotage

might well appeal

though I doubt there's much to it

doubt that it's real

just another opportunity

to feast on crow

guess I get down to it

familiar don't you know

at the end of the day

will I really just laugh

hope there's a sunny side

to every stupid gaffe

what

2.4194 : 10/26/16 : No More Downcast

No more downcast

forgetting every past

ignoring future shades

inhabit whole these

present glades

scratch still with me

so the itch insists

endeavor to see nothing

through the mists

all will be as

ever was afloat

and won't contain

this laughter

rising in my throat

what

2.4039 : 5/24/16 : Grease

Anything at all to grease this skid

Oh no you didn't: oh hell yes I did

I'm through I'm not down being sick no more

This time it's me that's showing you the door

Give me an inch and ounce I've got the time

this joint could use a little grit and grime

Your face could use a little bit less smirk

I guess that smile'll falter when you feel the jerk

I guess you won't be laughing when you see my name

upon that board that tells you that I won your game

with a bit of grease of course and work for days

I'm not feeling half done better hope it pays

what

2.4032 : 5/17/16 : A Thousand

A thousand tries

I laugh at you beginners

Divide your life by fives

try to spot the winners

have I hit my long round

is this my dire arena

bail me out oh Lord Rama

release me great Athena

oh Lord another thousand

oh man and call it halfway

by Ur and Zoroaster

behold the half mast last day

what

2.3997 : 4/12/16 : Cookies

Eat every cookie

then down the wine

No stomach for it

So pickle me in brine

Who'll get the last laugh

wait and see

too bad for you

you won't know me

what
