2.5201 : 7/30/19 : Wise One (The Experiment: 36/100)

It's time to call the
reckoning
if the pattern fits
We're going down
to earth
deep where the
wise one sits
and if your
question isn't ready
why you'll waste
Your chance
why'd you come
on to the party
if you didn't
plan to dance
Worry: maybe there's
no wise ones
just fancy robes
mull that ugly
take, while
the floor light strobes

2.5178 : 7/7/19 : As It Seems (The Experiment: 13/100)

If the mark's
never hit
if a shrug's
the end and
whole of it
If time's been wasting
and no way to redeem
it it's all
pretty much as it seems
and how'd it snake
around to here again
and is that the
signal
I'm trying to
pick out of the din?

2.5174 : 7/3/19 : Pattern (The Experiment: 9/100)

The pattern long established there
how swiftly could it change
Trying to bind the other tracks
adapt and rearrange
unknowing if the shift it marks
could truly move the dial
The dirty secret of it all
just time to waste and while
I told the pattern chanced upon
may we fix things at the start
but all that stands in every way
know too well in my heart
and in the endless chatter of
this dialog of days
could ever a result true yield
and so the pattern frays

2.5075 : 3/26/19 : Meat Cure

How much
to blame
this human meat
Where to
attain
a meat cure
Some kind
of apothecary
a little powder
grind to be sure
time's wasting
one way out
from the same old
a step up
if I may be
so bold

2.4809 : 7/3/18 : Sheer Forgetting

Neat trick if you can pull it off
Sheer forgetting
lose that corner of my mind
I'm always subletting
wasting time and
being so very smart
I blow it off
chalk it all up to
the restart

2.4754 : 5/9/18 : Den

First thing I'll get out
of this den of waste
can't think about the hours spent
can't afford the the slightest taste
What I go to
barely a setup
better than nothing
and I'll never got my rep up
anyway so not to worry
about missing every scene
and blowing up the fantasy of
Somehow getting out clean
imagine I'll be back well
jump off that bridge when it's here
did you hear the one about
the fool waiting for me to appear

2.4620 : 12/26/17 : Recompense Revisited

Thinking is there
any sense
reckoning after
the recompense
I feel I must be owed
for this long denial
recompense revisted
surely I was inhibited
and such wasted blame
and still played the game

2.4588 : 11/24/17 : Slower

The message loud and clear:
everything: slower
drop back
dull down
come in lower
nothing wasted if in time
you hit the
sweet spot
you can curse what's
offered but
you'll still
get what you've got

2.4300 : 2/9/17 : Sovereign State

The independent
sovereign state at war
now everyone became
what all deplore
an ugly spectacle of waste
but what the hell
we all had the taste
for the spice of blood
in our narrative
so dreary the lot
of all who merely wish to live
peace and good fortune
where's he poetry in that
said the troglodytes
as the took the best to the mats
a grim spectacle
but with a handful of
bright gems
seems a poor trade
for us left holding
a dozen dry stems

2.4282 : 1/22/17 : Alternative Facts

Day 3 in the realm
of alternative facts
I've downed my share
and my amazing acts
of daring in mind
of generous words
a prince among tasters
in the first age of the nerds
I'll be an iconoclast
demand evidence
a train of logic
and things making sense
no doubt become an outcast
crying in the waste
imagining the real alternative
as the age batters truth to paste

2.4206 : 11/7/16 : What Will the Future Think

What will the future think
of our little contest
You know I think they'll have
forgotten all about this mess
a bump in one long smear
of shallow drifting waste
hell if they'l mark at all
one sticky lump in the paste
like Rocky said about
water in a black cup
we afford the past no sense of choice
and then I drank it all up

2.4045 : 5/30/16 : Another Night

When will I learn
or else I guess get sick enough
only advertisers act
like they want on my dick enough
So I didn't go overboard
take the bait on leading social site
but if you could see inside
oh how I would waste another night

2.3925 : 1/31/16 : Aristocrat

Take my rights
as an aristocrat
of verse
the hand will only
transact
bad and getting worse
no precedent
to this quick collapse
and I can't waste
another battered
synapse

2.3840: 11/7/15 : Waiting and Wasting

Gone mild
with the waiting
the wasting
always bitter
in the sweet I'm
tasting
not going to
behave anymore
I've been have
enough
deliver the door

2.3611 : 3/23/15 : Laughing Alligator (Endless Axis 344/500)

Powers of mind
and Castaneda's trip
these wasted hours
if I peel off a strip
Same old sutras
on the original can
and me still here
with nor more a plan
and I never tried to work it
I just liked the story
I guess and I can't
say I'm exactly sorry
So I won't hang it out
or be a hater
but rather a brother
like a laughing alligator

2.3311 : 5/27/14 : Extent (Endless Axis 44/500)

So I start to see
the paradise of extent
a little something
I knew as reinforcement
by the light
of this day by day
at last I see
the glimmer of the right way
two days down
form a sickness of escape
it was a waste
but at least I got
one thing on tape
I said soon very soon
but in fact it was all now
and with the thought
the shadow left my brow

2.3150 : 12/17/13 : Beginning and Not Beginning to Begin

Don't call it wasted
since I wouldn't sell it
at any price
I should have tasted
more by now
I should have been there twice
and there were many mornings
beginning, and not
beginning to begin
and there were clear signs
and knocking, tapping
Let me in
I won't pronounce
upon a day
non one hour old
but I'll announce
for all my turnings
Your indifference is cold

2.2960 : 06/10/13 : Diver

Minneapolis sewage diver
yeah I could be
some kind of poop McGuyver
They say
he wrangles a turd
like nobody's business
So glad we got him
'cause there's no end to this mess
Make it a metaphor
now that's an insult
I only want to start a little cult
of the five or so admirers
of this holy wreck
then again I might be better off
in some dim tank of dreck

2.2940 : 05/21/13 : B.C.L.

We're all born into this world
with a fucking deficit
And the past's a cancelled check
So let's get on with it
I've an ironclad excuse
for every era that I wasted
Let us cut through the slack
and jack the alibi I pasted
I was bullied I was lovesick
I was heartbroken and stoned
then I had too much responsibility
and on that rock I honed
a claim that seemed ridiculous
and all the more surprise
I will transform into a black-
chromed lotus right before your eyes

2.2911 : 04/22/13 : Day On Earth

Just another day on earth
dark and light
death and birth
say mea culpa
but we don't change anything
another day
and what does it bring
hard to believe
but it's all getting hotter
who'll do the time
for the crime on the blotter
I lose sleep over it
for what it's worth
our carelessness and waste of
each day on earth
