2.5228 : 8/26/19 : Pursue Dreams (The Experiment: 63/100)

What this experiment reveals

Dream tide spits us out

each morning agog

Fiddling for the name

For whom

the alarm bell peals

try not to feel

immediately at slog

Pursue Dreams:

Well let me tell you Jack

mine are a weird pack

and unsuitable

for anything but shaking head,

shouldering up the stack

all interpretation

highly refutable

what

2.5191 : 7/20/19 : Poison (The Experiment: 26/100)

Pick my poison

some things go way back

No grace or poise on

build up the stack

with another admonition

to ignore all prior timelines

Latest hymn to king attrition

scrapping coins to pay my rhyme fines

my inflation style syllabic

pick my poison see the trend

watch me pull my usual drab trick

drift lift spill mill wend

what

2.5116 : 5/6/19 : Novelty

Do my thing

describe the thing

I can't do

Like about

the novelty

work it through

like to think

they're placeholders

do I ever circle back

too caught up in

the day to day

just grind and stack

what

2.5107 : 4/27/19 : Big Can

Try a big ran

try to relax

enough to throw another

example on the stacks

I need to big can

I need to believe

'cause I'll only get one go 'round

all in one tired sleeve

try one last shot

at this old stupid thing

see it again in seven years

hope it has

a long past it ring

what

2.5061 : 3/12/19 : Dig Through

What do I have to

dig through

to get to

whatever

needs airing out

fed up

with what's

welling up

every day

how it makes me feel

how I'd like to play

this next hand

is like as with a

deck marked

and stacked

and get this wild

homebrew racked

what

2.5040 : 2/19/19 : Cracking

Cracking up

let's say

in the fun way

find a

friendly

landing spot

Some day

a cohort to

respect my

Stacks

and meantime

just keep

showing stacks

what

2.4886 : 9/18/18 : Pile

Pretend I'm stacking

charging the pile

preparing the outfitting

for the masterful mile

It all looks lovely

if you just don't pay heed

That just keep going nowhere

at astonishing speed

what

2.4863 : 8/26/18 : Tossing Art

Hey old acquaintence

clocking in I guess

on four years back

and glad enough

you're still tossing art

up on the stack

I hope it's led you

somewhere with more bends ahead

forget again a dozen year

see where it's all led

what

2.4738 : 4/23/18 : Talk Back

Should I talk back

rather just get out

not a speck

of interest in yak yak

there's no discourse

just dueling rhetoric

and me silently

praying to get off the stack

for my sins

I got competence

and a big square hole

someone else, the hammer

I need to lock down

get to real planning

If I've ever going to get

out from under of this yammer

what

2.4694 : 3/10/18 : Deep Slack

Even in deep slack

I rack a stack

of little battles

versus entropy

and still feel

rust dulling my steel

considering what others face

can only sigh in empathy

this world's

got a mean streak

wide as the Mississippi

through both poles

and the equator

and the foolish debt

we've all run up

will surely hit

and sure will leave a crater

what

2.4692 : 3/08/18 : Relax Pretend

Organize this mess

protest

under duress

but it's the only

ray of light

the America

the plight

level up

the stacks

a list or two

relax

pretend I

can believe

that I can ask

and will receive

what

2.4662 : 2/6/18 : Coming Back

So was that an old friend

or a nemesis?

At least I'll have someone

to talk to about exegesis

and I suppose

tomorrow will come around

like a clock on sea-stilts

churning up dry ground

and it's going to be

such a big sound

when I finally

blow the stack

I don't know why else

I should always keep

coming back

what

2.4635 : 1/10/18 : Instant Regret

Regrets

I've had a few

Some as instant

as how I fell for you

And I hope it all

adds up on

your side of the scales

my instant regrets

my epic fails

stacked against

my tiny triumphs

my most favorite tales

what

2.4486 : 8/14/17 : Too Many Books

Scattered over too many books

always thinking this one might

maybe if I tore out the pages

finally get them shuffled right

answers that i tried to scribble

was I ever inspired or just grasping straws

never one there when you need it

in the dark numinous jaws

of a moment that could spill

escape and revelation

this one dropped into the tub

that one lost on some vacation

this one colonized by figures

that one I can't read my own hand

can't think of what but to stack them

dusty corners are the home brand

what

2.4483 : 8/11/17 : Early Shift

Get in an early shift

on the third unpaid job

no sure what it's good for

besides flapping my gob

Probably no essayist

ever going to sing its praises

but I guess I own it outright

and still the stack raises

oh I did it again

went and inverted the bottle

have to break it in need

to let out all this wreck and dottle

what

2.4438 : 6/27/17 : Blocks In My Head

Eveyday illusion

of getting ahead

Stacking up imagery

tetris blocks in my head

whatever gets clear

keeps falling

and I'm giving up

early

howso you might

find it apalling

what

2.4311 : 2/20/17 : Little Crutch

Do I mine

or scan the sky

for what I need

to get by

Don't even want

to name it

and if I see it

will I dare to

claim it

I want or so I say

to change so very much

tell myself that

interim

I just need a

little crutch

I don't know

wha'ts really lacking

or if I'm really

gaining for all my stacking

what

2.4231 : 12/2/16 : The Night Manager

Only civilization cares

I said it but it was a lie

because I care

and if you need someone

to manage your night

I might be passing by

the gremlin took my

meta mind

I had solid state back-up

take but a fire to mock me

entropy will always stack up

civilization

and I care

civilization

and I care

I won't get by

on the good old blank

stare

'cause next year

civilization

and I care

what

2.4170 : 10/2/16 : The Matter of the Principle

The matter of the principle

how the hell to sustain

will it ever get better

been too long to skip the refrain

Stacked all up side by side

each moment drop and ripple

Somehow still perched on

this nasty wave

trying to tame the principle

just say I'm stupid

wouldn't behave realistic

just say we're typical

not hard to find the statistic

pushed below the happy mean

by the principle's cruel math

and a bad taste for the finer things

and I'm thrown out with the bath

what

2.4100 : 7/24/16 : Cracking

All on me

ain't cracking

every day

just get stacking

and when I'm high, high

I'll look around

and hear oh!

what a sound

what
