2.279 : 2/6/06 : More Obscure

2,469 : 8 ?


Pull another layer over
make the camera more obscure
hide the ever there observer
make the output seem more pure
Some are born to float unheeding
Some are born to watch
Some are born to seek the light
Some are born to carve that notch
pull another layer
make it all of it obscure
even history gives us VIPs
I fear there is no cure

what

2.278 : 2/5/06 : Hella Skella

It’s all in the secret agent
handbook of archaic activism
I could write it up again
refract it through a different prism
proclaims I am the terrorist among you
strapped forever hung with death
ready ever to be captured
a few more will taste the basilisk’s breath
There’s no way to capitalize
anonym or hateful poser be
just another dark imagination
maybe someone’s schtick not me
These days you could be arrested
if I was a high school kid
surely they would apprehend me
take a good peer under my lid
Call it the hella skella papers
some weird hook to cite the masses
shake the literati up
and knock the pundits on their asses

what

2.277 : 2/4/06 : Balthazar

Writ upside down by a flaming hand
the gasper and the grasper and the and and and
Balthazar said look observe
I’m hardcore and there’s none I serve
Serve none fear none none exists
to still the hammer of my iron fists
Look at Balthazar arrayed
raiment of a god displayed
golden wings and golden eyes
gold at head and wrist and thighs
gold at ankles gold at heels
golden hands and golden wheels
Nothing here is as it seems
we see all things as if from dreams
And Balthazar no monarch is
just monstrousness inside of darkness
This is gold’s illusion plain
reflection breeds the shadow’s slain

what

2.276 : 2/3/06 : Bad Information

The bad information
crept in no one knew how
some said it was a warning shot
across the fevered brow
it didn’t really matter
the outcome was the same
3 months left to go
the voyage
wasn’t living up to its name
I’ve got to overcome this
he said from on the floor
where he had fallen over
half a step inside the door
it all seemed damned unlikely
he wasn’t going nowhere
he moaned and grumbled on the floor
but crawled into a low chair
and from that slightly elevated
Vantage point he took
he pointed with a trembling finger
read aloud to us from the book

what

2.275 : 2/2/06 : The Moment of My Greatness

What do I care for the moment of my greatness
my hair may be gray
or it may be past
or it may be there
is not memory ‘twill last
And I need not sigh too long
about it
I was never convinced there was too much
to my genius
I had a moment,
the better part of some year
long ago
not quite half a life ago
It is not for that I write
And this is bright modernity
of a fashion now so dated now so stiff
the contrivances of ages past
always seem so and I know
that no memory will last
Having just realized that post
modernity is passing too
I thought I’d sketch a few lines on the unnamed
aftermath that is upon us now to you

what

2.274 : 2/1/06 : Mammon

I’m swimming against the
stream like a salmon
Trying to live in America
and not serve mammon
It’s that or God
the master said
And it just keeps rattling
rattling around my head
The problem’s I owe Caesar
bout all I’ve got
He’s into me so deep
my skulls about to pop
It gives me an ice-pick headache
right above my eye
I just want to get clear
but no matter how I try
I’m sliding into mammon’s pit
wishing I was a rich guy
someday maybe I’ll beat the house
someday maybe pigs will fly

what

2.273 : 1/31/06 : Ping (Movie Sketches 4/4)

Ping
this is the real not the virtual
thing
there’s no latency and this
bling is real and how I feel
is a matter of record
for this record dial
and if I had to wrap the jazz up
I’d close the book
and slap that spazz up
write it in my memoirs one day
I hung up clever
and took the
fun way
out

what

2.272 : 1/30/06 : Honorable Mention (Movie Sketches 3/4)

2,463 : 1 ?


Sir let me state my firm intention
founded on this great invention
Let it serve me as my pension
And secure my honorable mention
Never expected to be in first place
nor runner up I’m not in that race
A three way tie for third is more my place
And I’m not just saying that to save face
I’m satisfied just to have shown
the way that my ambition’s grown
and if my name is all I own
I’ll keep it no matter how the wind has blown
now load this beast and head on back
with your accomplishments written on a plaque
no trophies for that subtle hack
Our treasure’s stored on heaven’s stack

what

2.271 : 1/29/06 : Vision (Movie Sketches 2/4)

Am I arisen from sleep
am I awake or dreaming
what is the vision
in the predawn gleaming
a hundred legs
two dozen drums
Each one an island complete
but watch how it comes
together
pulses deeper than blood
travels through petrified mud
it must be a vision
next must come the flood

what

2.270 : 1/28/06 : Rally (Movie Sketches 1/4)

Take to the road
the call came in
We were ready to begin
and if it still seems like a sin
imagine what it may forebode
Gather up your pearls
protect them from the swilling swine
I swore to God I’d make them mine
and that I’d one day taste that wine
and twine my fingers through her curls
the day’s begun
we’re on the road and going fast
sailing as it were full mast
and when all hope of reason’s past
we’ll blast by you at a dead run

what

2.269 : 1/27/06 : Manifest Destiny

Hoping that the tea leaves or the tides
the pattern of the yarrow stalks
or bouquets tossed by brides
will manifest our destiny
Ignore the paradox of liberty
I don’t really want to be free
I just want to find the way

what

2.268 : 1/26/06 : Relativism

Not to be mistaken for relativity
Or recidivism if that’s your proclivity
No right or wrong
no good or bad song
Never a belief always an accusation
Relativism offered as the explanation
of the state of affairs
or how it got there
I declared both sides to be false
Shook my head gravely took society’s pulse
Declared the situation doomed
Shut myself up in my room
And waited for the war to tear it all apart
tried to keep the taint out of my heart

what

2.267 : 1/25/06 : Dualism

Opposites defined as equals
sets the stage for the play and all its sequels
Good triumphs again
but it won’t last long
how dull it would be
if no one did wrong
Every decision cast as
either or
All or nothing: no less no more
Absolutes are fine
for fighting online
And dualism will suffice
to hypnotize the electorate
pick a horse it doesn’t really matter
just place your bet
And just behind the party line
concealed by a thousand banners white and black
the sea of a thousand shades of gray
rises and swells; nothing can
hold it back

2.266 : 1/24/06 : Caught Again

2,456 : 6 ?


The crazy thread
run through the crazy quilt
is caught again
suspending guilt
at least for one more day
I’ve caught the
crimson plague again
If I’ve had it once
I’ve had it ten
Yet here I am and here I’ll stay
Caught up again
in baroque reverie
the visions that unbidden
Come to me
and pass away all unfulfilled
One day I guess they will all flee and fade
And I’ll be rocking mumbling in the shade
when at last my caught up mind is stilled

what

2.265 : 1/23/06 : This Wretched Society

I’ve run out of excuses for this wretched society
I’m tired of trying to cast it in a good light
This is not about manners or simple impropriety
but rather an impenitent obstruction of the light
liberty sweet liberty your torch is long since doused
guess I’ll get my taste of living in a police state
when will they finally tear down the halls where she once housed
when will I find at last their meal on my plate
I’m not a stitch closer to a solution for this culture
And hell it doesn’t seem like most particularly want it
So I just shade my eyes and scan the skies for circling vultures
Guess when the times comes if I’ve got ball I’ll punt it

what

2.264 : 1/22/06 : Fish

Fish swimming swimming
swimming all over
upstream
downstream
all around
a floater, a swimmer
a flasher, a rover
shallower or
depth some even
run aground
So many fishes in the sea
So many fishes in the sea
One might be you
One might be me
So many fishes fishes in the sea

what

2.263 : 1/21/06 : Oops

Shouldn’ta pressed
that button I guess
mobilize the troops
I screwed up oops
not a half an hour after
with a burst of crazy laughter
I declared the end of that chapter
I just kept writing more
when I saw how I had done it
how I had blithely begun it
how I’d grabbed that bell and rung it
I was rolling on the floor
I better stop
I better roll and drop
put this sneaky fire out
I never was a boy scout
better whatever than inaction
though disappointed by the reaction
guess I best promote my faction
and rise above this small infraction

what

2.262 : 1/20/06 : Violin

If I picked the right numbers
about the tenth thing I would do
is buy a fine electric violin
to give away to you
I think you might just like it
I guess I could be wrong
You might think it a stupid gift
you might think this a stupid song
I know that these are stupid thoughts
to dream of wealth unearned
and all the toys and presents I
might buy instead of
every stone unturned
It’s true it’s fun to dream
about a different line of time
It’s worth a song or two I guess
a line of prose a reworked rhyme

what

2.261 : 1/19/06 : Departure

The old regime remains behind
I’ll sum it up
and nail it down
and wrap it in one perfect line
now my departure only at last
remains to be
projected in the telecast
the world will see because they really care
the mode of transmission
that takes me from here to there
from the isle of the wicked gaze
that focused on my center button
that land of foul enchantment
and the pain for which I was a glutton
across the silver bridge
suspended in the air
I didn’t forget anyone
I took all I loved with me there
to that wondrous continent
the Kingdom of What is
to only taste the real fruit
that grows outside parenthesis

what

2.260 : 1/18/06 : The Fall Behind

The fall behind the winter now
entrenched despite a lack of snow
annual enchantment of my land
born here but not raised at first
may be a few years are what raised a thirst
I don’t mind the cold but I wish I had the ocean at hand
If I’ve fallen behind again
it may be sad or foolish but it’s not a sin
it’s not a crime I have harmed no one
but if so it’s not virtue either
no proof that I’m a bard or writer
that I picked it up that I again have begun

what

2.259 : 1/17/06 : Sketch of a Second

What goes in the middle
after the first flush expires
do you try to blow it up again
or bank your waning fires
do you hold out hoping for more juice
or conflagrate once more cut loose
the moorings and the anchor lines
mix metaphors in steadily increasing lines
what’s the formula
Greek and Persian fires
how do you transnavigate
the doldrums when the first flush expires
trying to sketch out
where it could go
Sketch of a second verse
It’s not perfect but even so
In the real thing I’ll put a ring
a wizard and a girl
All set up in a garden
and I’ll give the thing a whirl
and when you hear it you’ll remember why
the last was about how it was okay to die

what

2.258 : 1/16/06 : Utopia

2,448 : 25 ?


Utopia your brilliant shores
that shine like unto mountain heights
they say your cities
reach up to the sun
and pour forth sweet delights
If nobody got sick or died
and everyone who wished got laid
do you think that it would work
at all if everyone who came stayed
If it seemed a shame
we had to go
I’ll tell you why I told you no
generations are the sweet
variety of life eternal
And the pleasing rhythm
of our deaths are natural as diurnal
passages from day to day
And every city has its night
even in great Utopia
Some turnings never see the light

what

2.257 : 1/15/06 : Cup of Cornflakes

Every morn the cup of cornflakes
appears as a portal to the stranger’s grasp
Each sunrise the cup of cornflakes
appears at a further extent of the seaside’s clasp
Cornflakes and solo dance attenders
Ms. Ross vegetates in a soft container open ended
And I’m unconcerned
As long as objects remain on
the lathe of heaven turned
Each diurnal the cup of cornflakes
unsteady tiny vessel of the glittering
essence of silence
Which one will become the cup of cornflakes
with increments of poor Ms. Ross
radiating temperance
I’ve entered within to such a distance
I’ve crossed to the opposite face of the portal
and circling is simply inefficient for a
mortal
When I’m within again I vow
I’ll never exit
anymore from now

what

2.256 : 1/14/06 : Goodbye Secret World

Goodbye secret world
all the stories that lie sleeping curled
and cozy in your stony deeps
oh secret world this time
we’re playing for keeps
where once was two
there now is three
a little minus you
plus a little minus me
plus you a good while
though not so long as expected
in the crucible of you
you and I
were perfectly reflected
And so a few days hence
I got right off the fence
And I’ll say in my own defense
I kept one step ahead of consequence
And shut the door
Just one time
On my
secret world

2.255 : 1/13/06 : Transformation

Crystal mounted spider screw
must have snuck inside of you
subverted now the mechanism
refracted through the helix prism
reproducing spreading free
branching every tributary
Transformation from within
wind up healthy wind up thin
wind up brilliant wind up rich
off the prenup I signed with the bitch
Transformed first into a bucket
half filled until I said fuck it
Empty when I found the hole
with what should I fix it dear rigamarole
transformed into a sphere of light
who knows why
flying like a kite
visioning a fate more vast
for now though
all flags drag low mast

brought on by vindictive food
I did not order from the menu

oh hell I wish I were standing in your shoes
oscillating every morning
oh it shakes me through the night
And the mighty oscillator

Got me them oscillator blues
Standing waves on every corner

With scarcely sole regard of even
One or two pairs of interested eyes
Cast the role to the ocean he

How many truly allow each day
Their legacies to come to this
each particular strand to go astray
How many were never found
even for a moment even by a few
Maybe even messiahs maybe even kings
queens, clerics, even poets like me and you

2,442 : 19 ?


Life without a punch clock
life without a card
never dreamed it would be so confusing
never guessed that it would be so hard
to have something like freedom
mixed with true responsibility
plus it seems I somehow
earned my muse’s enmity
nonetheless I’m keeping busy
nonetheless I’m making time
still searching for the subtle turn of phrase
or the less worn scrap of rhyme
If indeed I’m poor in spirit
I am rich indeed in dreams
and the hope of inspiration
in the hope it’s all more than it seems

If one in a dozen are reachable
if one in a hundred are reached
if the object of the game is millions millions
if we gotta jump off before this whale gets beached
it sounds like we got two point five
call half the cost of doing business
Guess we gotta convince them to cough up eight bucks each
the traditional method is to argue more is less
but I’ve got a devious devious plan
give twice as much charge half the price
crazy enough it probably won’t work
I’m not sure if I want to roll them dice
and it’s all still just a little fantasy
dreamed by one little rat in his one little pipe
and the race it’s still waiting for me
patiently dissolving all my hype

2.249 : 1/7/06 : No More Shortcuts

No more shortcuts; they always take longer anyway
look at all the months it took to catch up with today
now wear your determined face and say never again
nor more failure no more lapses no more falling no more pain
But most of all no more shortcuts to the prize
If only I could stop them dancing right before my eyes
Sugar plums of pocket monstrosities or maybe
the album the t-shirt the novel ain’t it all so cliché baby
money money money the short cut uber alles
why we play the lottery pray the label will call us
I hate hate writing about writing
I hate talking ‘bout the industry
I don’t know the first thing about it
I should be happy that I’m free
I should be doing something constructive
Poison moment fills me with invective
nothing working out this morning
I think I got a dream side warning
but I ignored it as usual then guess what
went crashing down another shortcut

2.248 : 1/6/06 : Portrait of a Sailboat

Fifty minutes in
the rising act begins
but everything is set out
on the plate I needn’t
really have to wait
it through to see
the chase the hunt
the romance
the final contest
if it had to get cut short
now just might be best
I hear the dissent choir
already begun
at my portrait of a sailboat
at my cliché of a setting sun
at a paean to technology
Oh it always plays so well
just a minor lapse into style
at the center remains the tale you tell

Got no finesse got no style
I just bulled through mile after mile

Stop a second and
ask yourself what it really was
you wanted
while the rest talked loud
Put the dog and pony show on
and fronted
No more shortcuts
we’re taking the long way around
no more pauses
until we run this thing aground
and find out if what it takes
will take a penny or a pound

Stats

For the most part looking at the artists stats on my Bandcamp account isn't very, ah, encouraging. Not a lot of traffic. Not that I'm expecting or actively courting much but still, human nature, you know. Despite myself I'd like an audience, I guess. I just saw an old (early 90s) thing from public television about Bill Holm in which he talked about deciding that as a writer he wanted an audience and since he was in America he consequently started writing prose because Americans didn't really read poetry. Hmmm.

Anyway. My favorite thing on the stats are the referrals, when someone surfs into it, however briefly, from somewhere unexpected. So it was very exciting to see today that somebody had stumbled into some of my 90s-era experimental sample wack-ness by following results (upper middish on the second page) from their attempt to search google for "another term for the middle of nowhere". Hope that helped, random searcher! Heh.

What’d you do? Wake up this morning
and say I’m gonna ruin a man’s life
filthy diamond of desire
root of evil source of strife
Just the simple steps to one thought
what have you been spending your time on
look behind look back
the moment’s gone
what did you do when you
woke up this morning
did you take a hair of the dog
and which rules were suborning
While the rest follow that

Something that nothing can separate
Something indivisible

I’d be the first to admit it if asked
it isn’t much of a plan
lit up in front of a lit up box
listening in on the little man
listening hoping to catch a dim whisper
of something that could be together, forever
fit to entice up the new paradigm

I’ll spare you the suspense of reading ahead
the hero ended up feeling better off than dead
and the whole thing just moved along like money
there were accounts to close prices to pay
I’ll settle it with cash I say
It’s gonna be a hell of a ride I promise honey
at half past one I bowed to defeat
looking down sadly at my bronze clay feet
the fall inevitable the nature I decline
I swear I’ll own it make it mine
But that is not today today I strike the harp
And wrap a hella long way track
the way forward a long way longer than back
and the lesson of tomorrow I fear will be sharp

It may be catching up with me
but I can sneak one last
unconscious melody
Into the vortex of all recorded thought
Started with the scripture
now see what we have got
if information overload
is the century’s curse
I guess I’ll throw my own
handful of verses on that purse
Simpler than you could imagine
this is all it takes
jump it with a sweet line
and a bass escape that shakes
and it’ll go down sweet
as any other
thinking bout the new year
thinking about my brother
thinking about my aching hand
I surely bust that nut
If there’s anything I’m not
thinking about I don’t know what

next big thing on the ultranet

might pale before the fact of life
might redefine both woe and strife
plenty new under the sun

to carry through this simple pledge
I balanced every moment

Thunder distant
thunder rolling under
just below what you can hear

it’s nothing to
be afraid about
though it’s gonna get near by and by
though it’s gonna really shout
it’s just a changing of the season
things still happen for a reason
meaning may have died
with irony but
reasons still abide

it’ll just be a joke by then

It’s a near light but so very dim
I can hardly see a thing
the energy was never fully dissipated
and what a chain reaction it created
So near to the center of me
revealed at last the central fallacy
nothing ever really stopped
it’s all still rocking on the beat He dropped
on the first day ever
whatever that means
A man makes a mess
and he just cleans and cleans
When God makes a mess
all creation sings
And I wind up hung upon
by a thousand things
But nothing ever really stops me either
So I guess you could say I’m a true believer
Or I guess you could say I am fortune’s fool
But I’ll give it all up to gaze
Just once more in that pool

You can’t exactly call it evolution
You can’t exactly get behind the revolution
televised or not it’s surely bought and sold
oh they’ll do anything for filthy gold
This is barely a scratch on the surface
I’ll keep on digging till I find my purpose
I’ve got my row to till my furrow to plow
It started out so small but look at me now
Look at how it’s rolling crazy
I’m not always quite so lazy

Powerful impact boom! no dodging
deep into the mantle lodging
sent in by a bad old crew
that flew long before me or you
the tidal waves that rip the sphere
reverberate through oceans clear
throw up a spume to cloak the earth
happened before for what it’s worth
maybe the first five shots went wide
the longer they fall the harder goes forth pride
if it happened and it surely could
I guess I’d try to hang on I surely would
‘cause after all it’s just another day
I’ll still be signing if the music still plays

Was it the acid sent him round the bend
He saw it all the way down to the end

hurtling down the cellular time tunnel
vague remembrance of a harsh k funnel
So on fire to be the chosen
In that crystal valence frozen
turn on turn on turn on turn turn turn
I feel it you’re about to burn
and issue forth a wild decree

2.233 : 12/22/05 : Epiphany

While I was building a booth
to house the Son of God
Moses and Elijah
both reverted to sod
and the lesson I was told
by the Voice from the sky
was try not to let the moment
pass you by
this was my epiphany
while the glory was revealed
I was fretting on the sea
that was getting very choppy
that was getting very rough
I remembered I had already
Said I’d had enough
but we didn’t stop we went
on up that mountain anyway
and that’s how I came to see the son
transfigured on that day

2.232 : 12/21/05 : Photograph

Light travelled from the sun
93 million miles
took 8 minutes to get here
for light that’s quite a while
refracted through the atmosphere
bent and colored shining
through the clouds and through the air
polarities aligning
bounces off some mass of mass
whatever doesn’t get absorbed
reflected at the angles of
the incident and tangent of the orb
and so reflected passes by chance
focused by a lens
and tangles with a chemical plane
thus the photograph begins

2.231 : 12/20/05 : The Trackless Track

There’s no roads left less traveled by
or so it seems it seems to me
He said you’re wrong by definition
If there’s more there’s less it’s a tautology
And do I really care at all
why stray off the beaten track
except for all my trackless dreams
and even they lead me endless back
to this well beaten mortal coil
weaving to a center so well known
that’s been so many times before
but mine will come for me alone
and few reports are even claimed
across from that dim other shore
Are we surfeit past the trackless track
or do we useless beg for more?

What’s coming up the shifts
the shut down rifts
the watchers of the watchers
the exploding gifts
the bomb squad units
the terrorist label
the last transmission of
the Tower of Babel
What’s coming up
the satanic angels
releasing a report that
Only sex and pain sells
displaying the latest rolling stock
sliding a slim hand
over your stopcock
coax another drop from the tap
collecting your dividend of sap

Mistaking the reflections for the source
Shadows on the cave wall
will occur to you of course
Don’t mistake an archetype for a legend
You can’t eat metaphysics
So we’re fishing off the deep end
chasing light that dances
off the walls
shakes and shivers rises falls
mistaking movement for
real life
grinding dull the edge on
Occam’s knife

The liar has not stopped
it must go back
ten twenty thirty forty years
playing on the prejudices

Some time they catch
Somebody getting sucked
But who the hell can keep up
with abstracts like liberty
and that’s the nature that’s
exploited by the liar of the free

The reactions proceed by steps and ramps
collecting baseball cards coins and stamps
led to the cabin back up in the sticks
led to the manifesto and the package tricks
There ain’t much excuse or even explanation
Just inexorable ramping station to station
First the crystal radio from Radio Shack
Next thing you know the terrorist attack
Demand an accounting be demanded by the masses
better arrest anyone wearing glasses
raid the universities the college kids
who knows what sedition lurks beneath their lids
cleanse society of every intellectual
after every other method proves ineffectual
give the whole thing over to you numbskull jerks
see if all the average joes can make it work

Learning something new every day and
getting pretty sick of it
Still I don’t really know what to say
still I don’t get the trick of it
Learning to take it a day at a time
And really it isn’t any easier
It just makes it possible: the choice is always mine
It’s creeping like molasses though the lightning couldn’t get
greasier:
My God what misbegotten tripe
what a a waste of good time after bad
And even if it’s at myself I snipe
Still it surely makes me sad
not enough time for all the visions
vision one through vision fifteen
Only time for snap decisions
and the hope for a break that is
clean

I stacked my bricks up
stone on stone
I could not finish
or leave it alone
And when a thousand and one
days had died
still I was not
satisfied

I knew one stone could not
remain upon another
I knew that brother
must rise up against brother
I knew the name writ on
my secret stone
I knew the name of the
beast who usurped
the throne

It’s just a dictionary
I said
It’s just a contemplation
of daily bread
I’m just a messenger
so kill me if you must
ashes will stay ashes
and you’ll still eat dust

I don’t look for any
final end
Nobody at all knows
what’s around the bend
but I can feel it
In my bones
Hello to another day
of stacking stones

This ain’t the first time plans went astray
Surely not the first of a million
Head’s too full of thoughts they say
If I had a penny I’d be worth a billion
Place holders may mock resolve
Promises made silently all alone
so I write another apology that will not solve
these questions etched as deep as bone
So I write another song in which
I write another line about the song I’m writing
at this point’s the truth’s a bitch
and the outcome is neither surprising nor exciting
the best that can be said I suppose
I did one thing I said I would do
today and even if it’s another one of those
just holding a place well its intent is true

Reminiscent of the time I started

four years five years six years I know
this is the real one
I’ll make it so
So blue
not yet started
formalism says the day’s begun
and I am broken hearted
thinking of the paths all
unwinding
Such a precious stone

endless night

When will the truth set me free?
When will the truth set me free?
I’ve been raising up its name a long time you see
And I only ever asked for what was said would come to me

When will we meet face to face?
When and in what kind of place?
I waited such a long time hoping for just a small taste
Though I guess that I’d be waiting here in any case

When will the work be complete?
This good work in me be complete?
I’ve raised my voice so many times I’d rather not repeat
I wish though you would answer while I’m still on my feet

Oh when will I be free?
When will the truth set me free?
It’s lined up there with all the other things they said would be
But nobody gave me a vote -
And this is no democracy

Another dog makes three
listen babe to me

We’re going to get a cat
A cat with socks and stripes
aloof you know their types
And if that kitten should prove false
we’ll get a fast evolver vat
And grow it up into an ape
I warn you it may well escape
and make it’s way all the way
to the talk show set I guess
Then I will get a bird
less trouble so I heard
And if you wonder if it
makes much sense I couldn’t say yes

Chance it says the inner mind
Not expecting pay in kind
All convinced the consequences
will not overwhelm our senses
Twisting upward in an updraft
Something between warp and witchcraft
And adventure no mistaking
with each dubious turn we’re taking
Ask why does this maze exist
ask what lies lost in the mist
find the gem the sword the scepter
I left a thread who knows what kept her
Who knows why she came at all
to see us off against the wall
but we appreciate the support
Nevertheless backtracking is the last resort

Is there a way to slice some time out of my day
without a seam or glaring gap
is there a method or a map
can you bewitch the clock to count the hours
but skip a beat at your command
halt the pendulum still the sand
Time out of hand
Time out of mind
Time flies time creeps
Time is money time is blind
I don’t have the method you are seeking
we all have to heed the same clock
In our walking and our speaking
In our wander round the coil
Get no time out to reflect
Or revise our strategy
Or our hidden motives reject

chewing on the carpet bouncing off the walls
Napoleon and Chamberlain facsimiles in human skin

I can’t tell the doctors from the patients
whose side I belong to
we’re all locked in here together anyway
We all know we’re bound to sing the same song too
Bedlam oh Bedlam home of my madness
Good fences make even madmen good neighbors
just how sure are you of which side you are on
Where do you look for reward of your labors
Lord oh dear lord to whom shall I go
for words of eternal compassion
there is no better than a good Bedlamite
for invoking you after his fashion

Do any turn the cheek
Do any give their cloak as well
And do these only find what they seek
Do any find a world without war
without injustice
without greed
Keeping the faith is so hard
So unnatural
So many in need
I do not keep the faith
I have a violent soul
I want to cling to what I think is mine
I don’t want the path
Only the goal
I pray to be completed
A good work once begun
I pray that this might be accomplished

Unfinished business painting book
masterpieces half uncooked
Striving for completion
tempted by deletion
got there but what a toll it took
You can’t tell me this ain’t progress
You can’t so I’ll just say God bless
And stick another dismount
Try to pretend I’ve lost count
Try to ignore the agony of abscess
I could say it will all change from now on
I could say forever now I’ve got my plow on
but all I got is magic beans
produced by magic elf machines
I worried they were not so smart
a thing to spend my cow on

The most dangerous game

So thoughtless

I smell danger I smell fear
I smell a rat something rotten
Scratching at the back of my mind
Something I’ve forgotten
I watch the news for secret signs
I wait for what tasks

I wait to go all the way crazy at last
for the signal
for the omen

Such a dissipation
Such a shame
This maze of words without a name
Work made for hire
Work done for free
the work to carry meaning

Profligate, it spills all over
It gets about a bit
it’s sure a rover
It’s got six shots a week it’s a revolver
Still dreaming that one extra push
is going to solve her
God forgive me profligacy
I only ever wanted to be free
Instead again it backed me right in

dodging the tomatoes of each
passing scorner

What can be said it’s not a full time job
just a modest graph
of the spaces between
waiting in the dark
for dark lord Psyche
for muse or inspiration
for our faces to come clean
It’s prolific you can’t deny that
ready to enforce it with a baseball bat
ready to lay down
another and another

The world I see in my mind’s eye is
Nothing but a chaos haze of interactions
Every cup of coffee is a little crisis
The endless reflections of the endless refractions
It’s a point source in theory but the point is massive
So theory doesn’t cut it but the sun still rises
And if my take on it seems still and passive
I’m just a little glazed by non-stop surmises
I’m hypnotized by the process behind every product
I’m overwhelmed by all the stuff so plastic
Still I’m miles away from sorting out my conduct
And every plan that I concoct just seems so drastic
Would it be better to close my mind’s eye
if such a thing could ever be achieved
For a while yet I guess I’ll have to try
till the man in the back finally says I can leave

For everyone stuck on this boat

And I probably cannot deny

I smacked him on the temple with a half full cup
I kicked his legs out he got up a third time

Got up a sixth time when I called his bluffs

And will to navigate the storm
I’m not saying I don’t believe in it
but the possibility must be thought about
that the whole system’s just blind chance
that there is nothing that we’ve brought about
And we’re no more than schools of fish
darting with the mindless mass
that one day in some storm we can’t control
the whole of humankind will pass

Telling you be thankful

And if this is the height of man

will get swallowed up in the
cover up somehow
in ages to come
And even the best think to themselves
They better get some
Before the next collapse

Moments grow like leaves on trees
A thousand million simultaneously
They have their sun time strong and green
That passes never to come again
Their colors fade to gold and red
green life gives way to past and dead
and in the mind of endless time
they drift and swirl a dance sublime
You cannot hold a single one
past when their sunny season’s done
Ours is just to watch their day
their bud and growth and fade away
and soft descent to join the rest
and to this truth I do attest
that we like moments, we like leaves
have got no last tricks up our sleeves
we each one have our appointed hour
though we defy or run or cower
still when it strikes we too each fall
and join the drift in silence, all

2.188 : 11/7/05 : Critical

2,378 : 10 ?


Critical juncture critical mass
critical density of the boil on my ass
critical malfunction of the
critical function that joins it all
or would have in the critical conjunction
I wouldn’t dare expose it all to critical review
Because right now there’s no evidence
That it isn’t all just spew
And some goats’ milk give spider silk
like some trees give you apples
God help me I ooze this stuff out
when with the Lord I grapple

2.187 : 11/6/05 : Marginal

If this seems a marginal accomplishment
another speech about how hard
the job I have to do is
Please excuse us
We are indisposed
Dumbstruck by the question you posed:
If the goal is to be goalless
what does motivation mean
Are you sure I’m not just
Some kind of
machine

2.186 : 11/5/05 : Roll Reversal

I don’t want to levitate
or fly through the air
I just want a five second delay
For when I gotta stop myself
before I go there
I don’t want a time machine
or the power of mesmerism
Just give me a quick replay
just give me a prism
to split the difference
‘tween the lesser of two lesser evils
when I got to navigate the breaks
when the breach is narrow
and th’ observance has gone missing
let me redo
just a few of my mistakes
The roll reversal power
when the roll has gone against you
Otherwise I’ll have to muddle
through it like I’m prone to

2.185 : 11/4/05 : The Track (Bonfire Night)

Get on get on
get on the track
that’s what every one was
tellin’ you all the way back
Don’t let your wheels
roam their own way
don’t give into fate
Lock your mag lev
on the main rail
Succumb to the steady state
First there was anarchy
then there was patriarchy
matriarchy
The ancestor gods
Then there was theocracy
then monarchy and aristocracy
and it would be hypocrisy
to say Guy didn’t talk to me
Some nights
Tellin’ me to blow the rails off
the track tonight

2.184 : 11/3/05 : If You Really Have to Know

If you really have to know
Today was the day I let everything slide
I drew a line I numbered it five
succumbed one last time to that old jive
And if you asked and I didn’t tell you so
Six years three days to the day just so
Now I’ll tell you
If you really have to know
Time is an illusion it doesn’t
really matter
You can think about it till your brain’s in tatters
You can think about it all live long day
this too this too shall pass away
I wrote it down just to preserve
a record of the too many masters I served
On the way to try to pare it down to one
I sensed that my trial had just begun
the littlest sentry just would not sleep
I got my big last number
but the price was steep
I gave it one more minute, plunged into the fray
reminded that every single day was today

2.183 : 11/2/05 : World of Words

I am lost in the world of words
what I wrote
and said
and read
and heard
It’s unquestionably real
but is it what it seems
and could the same be said
of our experience and dreams
but I’m given to believe
it’s a deceptive path
So many throw the baby out
and keep the dirty bath
Yet still I seem entranced by it
still I can’t seem to stop
I can’t escape that feeling if
I don’t write my skull will pop

2.182 : 11/1/05 : So It Ends

2,372 : 4 ?


So it ends for just one day
This is all that I can say
There is only sleep and death
All else is just revolving
Still yet a month to set things right
Still yet it seems an end in sight
Another hangs on bated breath
Try to see what I’m solving
Here’s a thought to wake up to
believing something doesn’t make it true
But belief goes on it seems
And each day comes regardless
And so it ends begins or pauses
the small print in your escape clauses
warns in sleep may come such dreams
warns of softness warns of hardness
