2.5236 : 9/3/19 : Routine (The Experiment: 71/100)

If I was having my

morning coffee

on top of eight

hours of sleep

If I was wearing

better shoes

would the routine

feel more deep

If I can't find one

tiny bright star

in the midst of the

routine grind

well I think I think

I feel I fear

I might just

misplace my mind

what

2.5012 : 1/22/19 : Morning Man

Could be the

biggest twist

tranform into

the morning man

I feel resistance

at the very thought

oh can that be

the real path on man?

sure not

making it

tonight I'm

on no new trajectory

and change a

distant daydream

yet the May theme

wrecked or Free

what

2.4881 : 9/13/18 : Limitation

Kind of digging on the limitation

strictly proscribe the act of creation

none of these gangly run on lines

stick to the fork, 3-4 tines

long past thinking I'll crack the nut

just another morning, get up 10-hut

sew it up again at the other end

a line or twenty float around the bend

and probably time to hang up

already slipping, feel the bang up

tie you a real neat bow

follow through and keep it low

what

2.4767 : 5/22/18 : On Point

Am I on point

i get so easily astray

The principle

of just a little

every day

seems to be losing

ground to entropy

another morning

dragged awake, dopey

if I can only

stick on a point

ready for striking

when time's the joint

what

2.4619 : 12/25/17 : Do and Don't

These things I do

and these things I don't

wonder if I ever will

and what happens if I won't

try to find some conception

that doesn't sound like a stunt

familiar but still failing

every morning bears the brunt

what

2.4415 : 6/4/17 : The Director

Since I can't generate

that special brand of fire

guess I'll

talk talk talk

about it

like a regular liar

is it inspiration

or harder work

do I just need a vacation

or who knows what I shirk

the production goes on

but the Director

is a no show

and what comes

the next morning

is a low blow

what

2.3856: 11/23/15 : Light

Considering light

and the light side

but who am I to say

look at the bright side

advice you must only

ever give to yourself

I save it for a

rainy day it's top shelf

darker every morning

for another month

get baffled why I stay

here if I'm being blunt

maybe hooked on

the relief when it turns the other way

and light comes creeping back day by day

what

2.3788 : 9/16/15 : Crease

Increase Decrease

I got to get a dip

of the good grease

'cause it's a rough start

all morns

all horns

we reborns

no chosen no called

at the pit at the pit

at the pit I stalled

rolled up then

Shot the crease

now done the work

it's day

So may I

desist and cease

what

2.3592 : 3/4/15 : Zag (Endless Axis 325/500)

Must look for sun

in the morning

must look for tales

in my heart

there's no end of roads

despite every warning

there's no limit

no claim on art

If I'm brief

it's that time's quicker

So here's the point

before you reach for the clicker

must look for sun

when sun's shining

and though for every

lost day I'm pining

for each new day

I raise the flag

walk forth

and drop jaws when I zag

what

2.3150 : 12/17/13 : Beginning and Not Beginning to Begin

Don't call it wasted

since I wouldn't sell it

at any price

I should have tasted

more by now

I should have been there twice

and there were many mornings

beginning, and not

beginning to begin

and there were clear signs

and knocking, tapping

Let me in

I won't pronounce

upon a day

non one hour old

but I'll announce

for all my turnings

Your indifference is cold

what

2.2758 : 11/20/12 : These Days

Sure of these days
I was very clearly told
they even guaranteed they'd strike
before I was quite old
They even told me I'd be
surprised despite the warning
but no one could explain
the way I'd feel that next morning
no use in getting mad
anyway we can't afford it
if there's only one train out
What use to refuse to board it
these days I have to ask
Is it really any new trouble
or just that it's our turn now
to draw a black spot and get it double

what

2.2531 : 4/7/12 : Underway

It's still exciting
to get the mission
underway
I am no child
but I too am new
with each new day
the feeling
in the morning
in the dim dawn light
the feeling
mountain roads at dusk
and dozing off
and into night

what

2.1896 : 7/12/10 : All Night

Up all night
only to fail of the morning
look upon the sad
story as a warning
this shaky platform
can go up or down
for the best of everyone
I think I should conceal this frown

what

2.1579 : 8/29/09 : Five Years On

The magazine folded

was it even a year

and the patrons all got hung out

missed their money’s worth I fear

and I’m not quite pushing 40

but I’m on the downhill side

and lately I admit

I haven’t thought much of the ride

Five years on

from some declaration

whatever I thought it was

was all in my imagination

if it wasn’t for all the ink

visibly spilled

I would count it all a dream

that harsh morning sunlight

killed

what

2.1119 : 5/26/08 : Every Damn Morning (Spell 3/5)

Every damn morning

the sun rises eventually

like magic

And the sublime rhyme

I dreamed disperses

leaving me elegiac

So I take it instead

making sure that I spread

the blame around a little

Rome just looks so great burning

and I’m so busy turning

the pegs on my fiddle

what
