2.3421 : 9/14/14 : Interstices (Endless Axis 154/500)

I can jam
the whole transformation
through
the interstices
May think that sounds
too good to be
true
Yeah well sure it is
keep it
Spontaneous
limber and brief
I take your
status quo
vanish it just like a thief

2.2989 : 07/9/13 : Hooray

Hooray for you
oh human race
I know you'll manage
not to quite blow up
the whole place
and not quite to starve out
or fry
and skirt the
narrow line
'round making
killer AI
Hooray for all you
the status quo
won't quite sink you
all the way
and don't you know
though you'll never make it
Past planet four
though you won't come close
to learning life
without war
Somehow you'll keep on
stumbling through
Oh boy here comes
my hat off to you

2.1052 : 3/20/08 : Status Quo (Seventyseven: 57 of 81)

Uphold this empire by the status quo
but you’ll need something special to win this war
but the world just needs to be left alone
I know what’s within, I know what it’s for
keep it all upright covered in laws
and we just all become poorer
We keep ourselves armed right up to the teeth
the confusion grows ever more
So many the brightest and the best
Pretty soon it all gets strange
the finer, more grand this edifice of law
the more you’ve got robbers and thieves on the range
transformation proceeds when I hole up tight
You all get into your regular groove
I stay aloof and you all get rich
sweet simplicity: I’m sure you’ll all approve

2.576 : 11/30/06 : Not One More

Not one more
marathon
not one more
graceless end run
I do not
accept the status quo
when it includes
the kind of shit I know
just happens
every day that passes
no choice
but to exploit
the masses
I got another way
but my voice is so tiny
I get flustered my voice
gets high
tight and whiney
the prose gets shrill
sound like a shill
feel like I better
stop
So I think I will
