2.5090 : 4/10/19 : Brass

In dream realm

vacation

ditching

the road trip

just want to

fly around

first class

rock the gentry tip

daydreaming

20 years

reunion tour

it'll come to nothing

for want of brass

I'm sure

what

2.4678 : 2/22/18 : Why Fake

Fuck anticipation

and expectation

Once again I got nothing

why fake a sensation

I should skip it

demand inspiration

but I made my plan

and allowed no vacation

and if I can't

come up with wherefor or why

well maybe I was

never really that kind of guy

and if you can't

find a reason to look

well maybe I could never

write your kind of book

what

2.4567 : 11/3/17 : Tame

Think i might be

fully tame

ask: how'd it happen

look for:

who to blame

so sad because

thought I was so wild

When you get so much

closer to being dead

than a child

do I want to

bust off the reservation

damn appropriationist

this is no

vacation

no manifesto

no hot art take

just another tame one

just a fake

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

2.4456 : 7/15/17 : Washing

Washing from a

summer vacation

smells like sweat

and suntan lotion

smells like captured

sun and ocean

Memories from a

summer vacation

would it be fine

always on vacation

everyone laugh as if

it's not a question

what

2.4443 : 7/2/17 : Tool

You took my little tool

you bastard you

Price for the scatterbrain

coulda been worse too

let go the done and done

Get in line for extra fun

Got all the tools I might need

Line 'em up and

pay heed

what

2.4434 : 6/23/17 : Excuses

Excuses are the coal

we're burning down time with

I thought with you for once

I'd get down to the pith

and we did oh we did

and what a strange revelation

discover it in the dirt, Lord

Discover it on vacation

you can work a long time

and walk some heavy miles

how is it you can always

give me the smiles

Even when I'm burning coal

from both sides of the lump

you best believe when it comes calling

I'm gonna be on the jump

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

2.4217 : 11/18/16 : Stone Age

Knocked back to my

stone ages

power failure

no point in rages

call it a vacation

from the damn tubes

wringing hands

over the wrath of the rubes

worry over Caeser

and the devil's due

the pitiable failure

of my weak kung fu

but at least maybe

I'll make up some rest

since it just keeps coming harder

and I haven't been my best

what

2.4077 : 7/1/16 : Vacation

Feels like a job

do I get to not do it?

vacation time

and I intuit

find what I'm getting

away from is not me

get back get back

to a truer way to be

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

2.3906 : 1/12/16 : Blue Flow

I ain't got the mystery of

the blue flow down

you know I heard those

girl angels flew this town

and our walls our walls our walls

are in our minds

this ain't me trying to be kind

I give a dollar

give a sawbuck five

to hear a solid theory

that it matters we're alive

aw it's just this sickness

these crow city blues

and they'd line up

for a mile vacation in my shoes

what

2.3605 : 3/17/15 : Dark Liberation (Endless Axis 338/500)

Abdication of

responsibility

that's not liberation

so what does it

mean to be free

unfettered

and fearless

oh the forever back

when I fantasized

I was peerless

no you're really

down in the scrum now

you could say

I look pretty dumb now

and pining for

the uncertain vacation

and pining more

for this dark liberation

what

2.3463 : 10/26/14 : Horse (Endless Axis 196/500)

Bring to my hand

this day's doing

for the sake of

this king's horse

I'm shoeing

this bloodless battle

for the soul of a nation

or a nation of soul

or a permanent vacation

As to why the ones who

Could stop working don't

As to why those who could

will my comeback won't

I don't need none of that

just a horse to ride

the work to my hand

and this day most glorified

what

2.3071 : 09/29/13 : Forgetting

Getting afraid and

obsessed with forgetting

the obvious fruit

lies unpicked and I'm letting

too much red ink spill

while I strive for a new way

to believe every morning

to arrive at at today

should I know her name

did I see that already

have I written this

written this before

Can I hold steady

as the years do their work

on every foundation

did I write that before,

may I have that vacation?

what

2.3050 : 09/08/13 : Professional

Did I sign up

to be the asshole in this

situation

I'm thinking

I just might

go pro with that

professional asshole

sounds like a vacation

sounds like

you might

know this hat

no need for kindness

no need for

understanding

What I got

You know

everybody's got one

while I'm undoing

undermining

underhanding

You all just

kiss my

big hot sun

what

2.3041 : 08/30/13 : Confabulator

Confabulator

in the service of kings

tarnished versions sure

ignoble things

you picks your poisons

and collect your coin

hoping it will kick up

something better to join

hope I end up

with some time to spare

come up with my own

little lies to share

A world of plenty

folks of good will

a common purpose

no reasons to kill

oh sure now that's some

confabulation

but if everything's stories

that's my busman's vacation

2.2789 : 12/21/12 : Deserve

I deserve a break too
just as much as
her or you
I'll steal it from
my aspiration
call it my
deferred vacation

what

2.2784 : 12/16/12 : Empty

Not a thing in my head
and it feels pretty good
I needed a vacation
and I said I would
Empty out my brain
and start fresh clean and cold
zero preconceptions
and good as gold

what

2.2657 : 8/11/12 : Little Vacuum

Call it a little vacation
not even going to make it rhyme
it's a sorry business
but them's the breaks
And if you don't like it
post a complaint
or wait a day
