2.5206 : 8/4/19 : Management (The Experiment: 41/100)

Sure not a fan of

their management today

save it, slappy

I know just what you're gonna say

I don't occupy eternity

the long view's not my luxury

If They can't make it work

here and now Their deal's spiritual usury

And I know your answers too

across the other aisle

and I know how I look

slumping this moron's mile

Guess I deserve to be

judged by the company I keep

let both sides think what they will

Like, I know talk is cheap

what

2.5139 : 5/29/19 : Dome

Future efforts to

hack this fevered dome

the current estate it hits

a little too close to home

recalling journals written

in some can in the

old tower

the ivory age-gilded

feeling the

nadir of my power

if I ever had any

oh maybe

it was all just feeling

the dark spirit is on me

and I'm reeling

what

2.5049 : 2/28/19 : Rusty Oil Lamp

Rusty oil lamp

keep me burning

never really mentioned

where the

oil come from

what defines those

who come ready

who gets left back

feeling dumb

rusty oil lamp

will you still work

get to that

spirit cave

will I find

the guide awaiting

by what little

light that lamp gave

what

2.5010 : 1/20/19 : Surround In Wrath

Some saw

surround in wrath

Some say

intervene

Sometimes the truth is

truly

Somewhere between

get right out of it

Something inside said

enough trouble

enough dissonance

inside one head

no mind no self

no ethereal spirit

just the breath

that goes then stops

and fate, the blind

plucks at the string

in other hand

his razor

at the leather lash

he strops

what

2.4951 : 11/22/18 : Ticking

In the pure

spirit

of ticking

off boxes

It still counts

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

2.4746 : 5/1/18 : Break

During this brief break

from the avoidance

Guess I'll discharge

this momentary annoyance

can't summon at the moment

the can do spirit

neither come to terms

with this garbage I inherit

that's no dichotomy

that's a stinking monopole

should maybe pick another hour

if something different is my goal

what

2.4621 : 12/27/17 : Call Out

Another call out

to Lord Rigamarole

shone out the signal

to the owl patrol

those as would notice

must be my lowly squad

Force for peace in all things

spare every rod

Quell my violent spirit

ugly power dreams

playbook is tiny

against reams and reams

of dark designs

and wanting fast and loose

don't know if I'm getting there

but I've got no excuse

what

2.4599 : 12/05/17 : Stance

Change stance

challenge for tomorrow

What won't come natural

naturally will have to borrow

speak light

display a brighter spirit

not exactly faking

and perhaps will get near it

what is the stance

it's heading somewhere

panning the silt

the gold is in there

patience purpose

practice and zeal

Kept close to me what for

something I'll know when I feel

what

2.4579 : 11/15/17 : Bounce

Just want to

spitball a couple

big new ideas

and bounce

quick fucking up

get stinking rich

lose about

a quarter ounce

maybe get

real spiritual

happy poor

and tripping balls

all make believe

sure I'll be working

and bouncing

right off all the walls

what

2.4439 : 6/28/17 : Conjuring Up Spirits

Conjuring up spirits

should be careful with that shit

didn't I read my Earthsea

Don't I remember it?

It isn't magic

Don't you know it's just memory

Who knows the difference?

Guess rocks just don't speak to

me

Sorry for your bad day

mister nobody

I'm putting the spirits to rest

Be the road so muddy

what

2.4253 : 12/24/16 : Spirit

Kid's got the spirit

try not to hear it

like a grumpy old trout

ain't it what it's

supposed to be about?

get out the toys

the flashing lights

I'll get myself into

the spirit yet tonight

nothing bad happens

it's really all quite good

and if you haven't got

the spirit yet you

really should

and as I loop around

quite near it

I get very quiet:

then I hear it

what

2.4196 : 10/28/16 : Concentration

Should have studied

distillation

can't get

enough

concentration

the potency

the solvency

lines define

the golden ration

the essence that

the spark defines

the legacy of

burned wines

but I didn't study

that spirit nation

and now must battle

dissipation

what

2.3932 : 2/7/16 : Calling

So sure I'm envying our

called in their calling

Even if the market is falling

Covet their assurance and spirit

should be there for me too but I don't hear it

did I cross the line some day so far back

some days doubt there ever was a a right track

and if you could clear it up in a minute

anyway here's how I'd begin it

put hand in hand and agree

none will rest till all are free

they'll insist the cost will be appalling

but can't resist the army of your calling

what

2.3912 : 1/18/16 : Yoke

Yoke's killing me

right in the neck

stiff and hunching

and sore as heck

here's the punchline though

the funny joke

I don't know if it's the hard

or the easy yoke

millions pick their numbers

their spirit ploy

one hits they're sure

the Lord said oh, you boy

So maybe my talent is shoveling shit

So maybe your face looks

like it wants to get hit

what

2.3558 : 1/29/15 : Course (Endless Axis 291/500)

Just now I need to shut up

and change course:

I need to drink a river

need to eat a horse

I need fire and spirits

in equal portions

a bracer for the shock

and the end of all distortions

what

2.3456 : 10/19/14 : Bad Skeptic (Endless Axis 189/500)

Had be been a

bad skeptic

listened to emotion

heard the spirit

as it hovered

over the chaos ocean

His story

an inkblot

everybody

bring their baggage

ignoring how

it's all talk talk

ignoring

it's all cabbage

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

2.3433 : 9/26/14 : The Bitter (Endless Axis 166/500)

For this strange spirit

that lights my limbs

From unremembered

till the last light dims

confused by all misery

but still fighting

still the spirit flows

Still lighting

the lesson in father-loss

Each day a gift

each day a toss

time's truly come

to discard the bitter

don't get so hung up on gold

you ignore the beauty of the glitter

what

2.3218 : 2/23/14 : Plain Dealing

Put on my stone

no once can say he didn't try

I'm not alone

I'm hardly trying to claim I'm some special guy

I just can't decide

if I'll very be okay with if it's all for naught

I just can't decide

what I might do if I knew I wouldn't get caught

the spirit is willing

but the flesh will never be immortal

the piper's billing

and there's only one escape portal

and I've a feeling

I'll have to settle for a lot of could have's passing me by

but it's plain dealing

and nobody can say I didn't try

what
