2.5205 : 8/3/19 : Wildflower (The Experiment: 40/100)

Say wildflower

like there's

any other kind

I'd like to mirror

you in my mind

just

nod at the sun

Seems the only

way forward is

to sever every grasp

bob wind-free

where I want to clasp

and see

there really is no one

what

2.5186 : 7/15/19 : Imaginary Friends (The Experiment: 21/100)

Talk silent keep it

in your head

subvocal by

inner eye be led

It's been awhile

while I pursued the winding ends

but I think I

need to check in

with my imaginary friends

Dear souls I

really need a better way

to feel about this mess

Dear souls

I'm suffering a

fair bit past the usual distress

Want to feel positive

a winner

full of confidence

but I'm not hearing

much reply

so shrug goodbye

and hie me hence

what

2.5141 : 5/31/19 : Pearl

So easy to declare

I have faith

in the pearl

of such

great price

you know it girl

the moment

I see it

sell all I own

finally to

every fortune's wind

I'm thrown

what

2.5047 : 2/26/19 : Gyre

Winding and

wilding in the

transpacific gyre

democracy's drones

produce holy fire

the century came

and departed

nothing started

the best

are on the short con

the worst think

they know what's wrong

and worse

how to fix it

marked at the X

where one

inflicts it

at the core

that came up hollow

the sage said

all use was there

but that was

hard to swallow

what

2.5018 : 1/28/19 : Wind It Up

Put the

machine together

and wind it up

feel close

to answers

decline to give up

how long can I talk

about the

grave

time march

I guess until I

prove

I can be worth

my starch

what

2.5005 : 1/15/19 : Fortunes

My fortunes shift

just like the wind

and where did all

my hopes get pinned

beyond distraction

on the floor

I'll bite until

I hit the core

what

2.4982 : 12/23/18 : Wind Up

12 minutes with a book

get a month's long

wind up

I saw the pattern

hell and right away

I signed up

saved time and fit

the particular stage

and on and on

until

the next thing I grind up

what

2.4891 : 9/23/18 : Pitches

So maybe I'm the one

who showed all my pitches

say change is imminent

that's got you in stitches

and ready to wind up

send my next one to the stands

everybody gets up

and claps their hands

or maybe I hold you off

for another round

think I'll still measure short

anyway, pound for pound

what

2.4866 : 8/29/18 : Next Recreation

The next recreation

better start real quick

overindulged

feeling a little sick

not in a cool way

like some cool kid

that's one illusion

I should be well rid

it's all a muddled cluttered

mess upstairs

the whole damn circus

feels like splitting hairs

Some seeing total breakdown

we should have such luck

I see another hundred years

of winding down

and staying stuck

what

2.4828 : 7/22/18 : Second Wind

Is there any real chance

at a second wind

getting tired of rolling

and the halfway mark though pinned

on the chart upon the wall

marks no real turning point

maybe uphill twice as steep

all while I still don't get the point

any chance at some renewal

of the sense at least it moves

feeling now like circling tracks

deeply rutted in blank grooves

easy enough to keep on

might be harder to desist

So far still not pulling that thread

but it's on the secret list

what

2.4787 : 6/11/18 : Wind the Watch

Count on my fingers

Wind the watch

every last toss

comes up a scotch

how's it ever

going to come up aces

will I ever again

feel I'm going places

what

2.4730 : 4/15/18 : In the Wind

Now revision

now decision

now come the moment

God turns on the vision

said it a thousand ways

for each finger on

finding it as still not time

Soon started on

the other hand

but tonight I say

I've done enough

and I'll proclaim change

in the wind

until the wind

calls my bluff

what

2.4568 : 11/4/17 : Happy Hour

Spent my happy hour

like a happy buck

don't have to like me

but admit I've got pluck

I'll roll it up soon

but here's to you my friends

and this winding path that seldom

goes where anyone intends

what

2.4467 : 7/26/17 : Dox

Behold I am become

the heterodox

thus composed

half man, half bat, half clocks

dare not ask how or

why or whether

while I storm down upon you

hell bent for leather

how could any respect?

for none understand

I am the tender plant shoot

reared under the stark hand

so stern so loving

and skillful

a lesser being would despair

to wind up with one so willful

bring me the headwind

of old John Tsunami

bring me the scion

of the family Umami

Deliver me from evil

from boredom and from haste

render to me Caesar's surplus

in the halls of my special taste

what

2.4334 : 3/15/17 : This Stop

This stop I have to

get off or stay

declare the wind down

I've got a right to

go my own way

can I find a reason

beyond the keeping on

do I try to fight

for another floor

up the tower of song

what

2.4290 : 1/30/17 : Every Griefer

Could get

every griefer

swift reprise

to every griefer

swift wind

none see apporach

bearing the lance

of this towering reproach

what

2.4257 : 12/28/16 : Prefer

Prefer not to

and since I'm

on my own nickel

I toss one off

to this wind

so fickle

what

2.4167 : 9/29/16 : Every Minute from the Future

Wind down

let it all wind down

abandon all

good effort

become fallow ground

let every vice flourish

oh the easy feeling

to giving into sloth

and stealing

every minute from the

future

every minute from

the herd

surely end up

running

every muttering

a curse word

what

2.4146 : 9/8/16 : DIME

Throw down

that dime

I'm turning

tight

all for real

thrown down tonight

they're not going to

seem me wind

up the sucker punch

and wrap this

whole thing on

a hunch

what

2.4141 : 9/3/16 : What Comes Around Goes Around

Take comfort in the fact

that what comes around

also goes around again

the wheel metaphor is

awfully worn

and rusty oh but then

it gets you there

anyway doesn't care

everybody used it to death

the wind the river

the bridge the clock

cup and ring and arc and breath

what
