2.4562 : 10/29/17 : Seamless

Just cold rain

not quite winter

plug end days

to weld and sinter

not quite seamless

not much of a whole

dead leaves falling

farside of the maypole

what

2.4458 : 7/17/17 : Rain Symphony

Rain symphony forever familiar

never remotely the same

nature who will outlive us all

forever wild and never tame

they hunted water in the desert

they prayed for fire to melt the ice

and in the age of heat and more heat

they counted it as gold in price

we'll pray the mighty river does not dry

we'll fight them trying to pipe it to Vegas

and because irony never dies

in many times and places the rain will plague us

I'll tip my head and smile wide

you'll hear no doleful din from me

just the soft tapping on my skin

in the falling of the rain symphony

what

2.4417 : 6/6/17 : Wet Slap

So I say my piece

for what it's worth

doubting it's worth

a wet slap in

monsoon rain

all the big world

and its world-sized problems

that I try to match

with my little brain

all in this ironbound

hall of treasure chests

try to find the little box

that my key fits

they welcome my spade

in the fields of toil

and I wonder if that

will be as good

as it gets

what

2.4396: 5/16/17 : The Rain

look to the lightning

storms rolling

narrow narrow path

I'm strolling

no ticket no key

nobody here

but you and me

what

2.4090 : 7/14/16 : Rambling

Leave my river crossing rambling

in the little book

rain or shine you know me

I can always cook

So take a peek in as

I stir up this pot

Because you know I got a lot

and I serve it hot

Surprise some thought

my rambling days had dried up

some days thought myself

these circuits were fried up

With this and that

up my sleeve

a little half smile

take my leave

and ramble on and up

turn tramp baton and cup

what

2.4012 : 4/27/16 : Flight

All things are made of flight

all variance is density

hail the lenses focusing time

remote in space hid in immensity

So is transmuted each desire

and I no longer know my own mind

poison seethes just underneath

my vampire teeth just pierced the rind

I envy the ones I put in place

I covet their clarity and call

a million cash and a thousand week vacation

got no answer to what if I won it all

beams cross at neither art nor science

heaped and fettered in the danse mundane

hey newest saint blow a kiss back

this acolyte is bowing in this rain

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

2.3755 : 8/14/15 : Line (Endless Axis 488/500)

Draw a line like a circle

trace a mazey line

I'm right as rain

baby I'm super fine

around the rosy corner

when I lunge

You'll feel it always

then I take the plunge

what

2.3481 : 11/13/14 : Falter (Endless Axis 214/500)

The falter and the false step

by now must have a bad rep

but the recovery is all

Don't call it a fall

The bastard and the bad breaks

I'm kicking I've got the shakes

they called it a bad habit

raze it to dirt and half slab it

to make it really rain witches

don't guess my rhyme save nine pitches

please when the pivot comes don't let me falter

despite it all there's not one thing I'd alter

despite myself I'm filled with hope

mouth full of soap, upslope with enough rope

what

2.3453 : 10/16/14 : Pouring (Endless Axis 186/500)

Raining

so it's pouring

pretending

my spirit's soaring

pretending

I'm really wroth

really I'd like

to end you all

like Yog-Sothoth

No strength

to spin that

yet the axis holds

I guess I'm in this

till the whole plane

folds

never doubted

guess that's

my silver strand

now give me

a fucking break

now dial me up

a band

what

2.3386 : 8/10/14 : Clouds With Sun (Endless Axis 119/500)

Seems there's always

clouds with sun

a little rain

Shouldn't bother anyone

Hello blue sky

hello new day

its's a trick to believe it will be

different but I will anyway

Oh it must all come

to some conclusion

but I'll just enjoy the clouds

I'll just enjoy the sun

what

2.3351 : 7/6/14 : Long Division (Endless Axis 84/500 - Nest 2: 4/11)

Long division

try to parcel out

the time remaining

ignoring unknowns

try to count

the moonrises

the raining

let me find

a better way

and this time let it

be here

to stay

what

2.3263 : 4/9/14 : Heavy

Metal raining down

rocks and logs too

forsake history

before it flogs you

bounded by atmosphere

and gravity

What else heavy

can we throw in the cavity?

glass chunks raining down

Steel as well

we've every capability

to make this world a living hell

Why do we go heavy

so easily?

Why don't we have a better plan

than what will be will be

what

2.3253 : 3/30/14 : Higher Purpose

I'm kill this poison

with stronger poison

how'd I get

so smart

there's no such thing as

a higher purpose

there's no such thing

as art

there's such a thing as

getting my end in

you better all

watch out

I gave up looking

for my higher purpose

I'm on a tear

a rout

I'm kill the stronger poison

with lord high

ultrapoison

I'll seed it in

the clouds

oh how I'll laugh all

immune and furious

watch it rain on

the crowds

what

2.3237 : 3/14/14 : Let Nature Make You Happy (TWoB 5/11)

We better damn well

try to keep some

We better start now

boy we're gonna reap some

industrial whirlwind

rain on the cement

Better keep your green space

Better pursue that talent

there's compensation

it's not all hair shirt

there's peace in tall trees

there's join in clean dirt

let nature make you

happy and show it

We better damn well

keep some and grow it

what

2.3112 : 11/09/13 : Authority

The game, the game

the half pauses

the rain the shame the

escape clauses

So many things

don't deserve to be good

sometimes they are anyway

don't you think there would

be some authority

but there ain't nah

how do you think he'd

explain it brah

well keep anything short

and double up the beat

throw a little flash in

make the lyric sweet

the game the game all

past the point

of no return

as such

decamp this joint

what

2.2903 : 04/14/13 : This Wet World

This world of constant
falling
the way we can't
get down with love is galling
this wet world
the rain is continuous
I like to see you there
shining prone and sinuous
It would be better
if we all got down
asked for everything we wanted
went to town
it never happens
and the reason's fear
and your head's down
but it's getting
wet and hot in here

what

2.2575 : 5/21/12 : Yuba (Mt. Metaphor 44/58)

Yuba City blues
standing with
rain in my shoes
nothing by the book
and still
firmly on the hook
there's still a
wicked piece to roll
and I am tired
down to my soul
and none can say
what freedom means
or what divides us
from machines

what

2.2515 : 3/22/12 : Middle

forgot about
the middle thing
bold strokes that fall
like stupid rain
a stupid yo
from a stupid friend
fuck it jack
call that the end

what

2.2466 : 2/2/12 : Optimism

Optimism optimism look at my side
you'll never find one lighter
privilege ain't the half of it
there's no future that's brighter
what a nasty load life tipped
well buddy I just skipped away
I'd like to help you take care of tomorrow
but I'm so busy living in today
optimism have I got it
like a royal flush in hearts
must be what makes me make the rain
makes me so much greater than my sum of parts
I will not stand for a dark world
a minor chord or a frown
I get lit up so naturally
nothing ever seems to get me down
share a smile with the optimist
so much nicer this side of the street
look a half full day to dance away
and for certain it will be a treat
