2.5286 : 10/23/19 : Shingle

Back to the old

two track

hype then crash

eureka up a

third way

I'd rake in the cash

hang out

my shingle

full potential

at last!

want to look at

my credentials

buddy

not so fast

what

2.5090 : 4/10/19 : Brass

In dream realm

vacation

ditching

the road trip

just want to

fly around

first class

rock the gentry tip

daydreaming

20 years

reunion tour

it'll come to nothing

for want of brass

I'm sure

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

2.4838 : 8/1/18 : Rainbow the Falls

The rainbow

the falls

moments

and thralls

if I could paint

a canvas

the trailbreak

the grand pass

in memory

far from the box

no money moves

no counting stocks

the memory

must now sustain

till falls again

bright summer rain

what

2.4793 : 6/17/18 : Screens

Try to give advice

befitting my state

not feeling so fatherly

not doing so great

too much poking

at the stupid screens

we're all like goldfish

and who knows what it means

spending money

that's not in the bank

give the Man more tether

so he gives me a yank

No idea what I'd do

with that suitcase of cash

except I guess to leave

the younger version a stash

what

2.4789 : 6/13/18 : Printing Money

Soon as I

dial this disease in

I'll be printing money

sure they howled when

I slipped the tease in

what were you thinking honey

Still quite sure I'm

destined to be a winner

inches from the master plan

cheap destiny

will serve up a rich dinner

'Neath the flutes of a plaster Pan

what

2.4726 : 4/11/18 : Scrambling

Hard to look graceful

tubby

and scrambling

if I had the

fuck you money

I would can it

be ambling

stomp brakes

on the fantasy

real time only

in line for

a new gig

at least I'm not

lonely

what

2.4707 : 3/23/18 : The Revelation

The revelation might be

quiet, and dull

how would I recognize

feel that deep pull

brain is juiced out

on the quick and easy light

I said their dollars

wouldn't turn me

but I scarce put up a fight

I'll get up early in

the morning

for a shot at their plow

the tyranny of a sure thing

if they could see me now

If the I of then

could see me now

I'd curse a blue streak

no sign of revelation

and I'm dragging

tired and weak

what

2.4652 : 1/27/18 : Anywhere

So many places to

go to be

not especially concerned

that there I'll still be me

So many places

but for the straightjacket

the sunken cost

the business cycle

of course the debt racket

many never make it

much of anywhere

live the life you choose

so why should I care

but a seed planted early

still tries to sprout

but I wouldn't lay money

that I'll ever get out

what

2.4549 : 10/16/17 : No Difference

Might be no difference

how it gets cranked out

by day in the money trenches

nightside whatever this mess is about

If only I could simplify

get it all stuffed in one tent

but I swing useless between poles

with my axis badly bent

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

2.4466 : 7/25/17 : Robot

Get me a robot that

makes me save more money

get me a robot

that makes me work harder

I caught my robot

Sharking texas hold 'em

that darn robot

turned a sharp carder

robot took my job

robot stole my girl

load it on my trebuchet

give the ugly thing a hurl

guess I'll have to stay human

forgo my robot pal

do this thing my old way

don't quite trust the robot

and I've got to jump today

what

2.4437 : 6/26/17 : Money Magnet

Money magnet I

will make you mine

grail stone

I'm going to drop your line

don't have an interest

in immortality

but money's always

been a friend to me

not supposed to say it

to ask is gauche

I'm going to climb that ladder

like a tower of approach

and fix my magnet

to the tippy top

summer again

here goes another crop

what

2.4404: 5/24/17 : WAYBACK

Things that go

way back

and when the

old static clears

something deeper

more orderly appears

all getting older

finding out there's worse

all a little overloaded

everywhere but the purse

someday all will merge

with the way back

tally every turning

and find no lack

what

2.4384: 5/4/17 : What Truly Matters?

What truly matters?

oh don't ask me today

the thing I despise

locks me in sway

money, lucre

filthy gold

curse its dominion

curse its hold

Lo the prophecy

self-fulfilling

call it the rat race

boy it is not thrilling

tell myself all that

doesn't matter a whit

but my words ring hollow

up to my teeth in it

what

2.4348 : 3/29/17 : Tank

Everyone will

end up in the tank

pipe in

a far from perfect fake

block out

the truss and shank

forget there was

a real before the break

monetized

and sort of bespoke

Warehoused

and hydroponic

even the designers

will forget the inside joke

in the semidark

and the drone subsonic

what

2.4285 : 1/25/17 : Every No

Pile every chip

and every tattered bill

pulled my gold tooth

but oh they want more still

every single day

they want a little show

for want of a

better idea

I bite back every no

a sack of tarnished pride

Weighs down half my tightrope pole

but it gets balanced pretty good

by what I think's

a sack of coal

And if I haven't found a virtue

lately I'd care to extoll

well look around you lord of hosts

because the devil's

on a roll

what

2.4226 : 11/27/16 : World Wants Blood

World wants blood

nothing else

violent death

that's all that sells

and I'm no hack

for that ghoul horse

not that anybody's

offered me a sou of course

what

2.4205 : 11/6/16 : Genius

Sometimes a glimpse

a little genius flash

feels good okay

but never gets me cash

and never really gels

all fragmentizes

yet I'll be good say thanks

for all little surprises

what

2.4123 : 8/16/16 : The Sellout

The sellout wasn't nearly

the struggle expected

the better not to ponder

what facts that truth reflected

wish the price was dearer

but I picked my door

leave alone the question

what the wind up was all for

Since I couldn't hack it

and make Art pay

I'm stuck wrangling the money

learning how it got that way

and though I can't say

the spark's out and done

I'd rather keep the filthy secret

from just everyone

what
