2.3568 : 2/8/15 : Zoom (Endless Axis 301/500)

Zoom in focus enhance

give me the magic

this could be my last dance

with the spin

the data

the rush the mélange 

endless obstacles

I faced so staunch

all feeling samewise

all hurdles and woe

get a finger on a new thing

and away I'll go

Zoom into the future

the new optimism

by some other name

through some brilliant new prism

what

2.3567 : 2/7/15 : Zero Sum (Endless Axis 300/500)

Call every course

that's clear

we can escape

We can get out of here

It's no zero

sum game

for a hero

who's worth the name

place in my hand

a gem of great price

call my broker

isn't that nice

I'll put it to serve

a higher good

I'll do it honest

I'm no hood

I'll do it open

no dark lantern schtick

pay heed or no

you will all

feel the kick

what

2.3566 : 2/6/15 : 1 & 11 (Endless Axis 299/500)

One and eleven

til the flash change

how you like all my numbers

do I seem strange

what I'm holding in my hand

you do not want to see

So you better back up

If you dare face me

they say I gotta punch up

but I'm peerless so

I just gave up punching

now I'm fearless, yo

I'll be standing on my soapbox

at one and eleven

shouting everybody duck

here comes heaven

what

2.3565 : 2/5/15 : Not Positive (Endless Axis 298/500)

What rune scribed

could correct or reverse

or instruct or illuminate

or lift the rumored curse

That's not positive

your numbers game is cracked

hell pile it by the door

where all the other failure's stacked

I want a little bling bling

Want to take a trip

Want to know my secret?

Never quit and never skip

that might be my only

ray of sunshine this small hour

stand in the light with me

and we will speak of this power

what

2.3564 : 2/4/15 : Discipline (Endless Axis 297/500)

Teach me discipline

or teach me a discipline

You owe me a teacher

I've been so long ready to begin

Once a disciple

now lost, forlorn

Terrified I was on the 

wrong side when the veil was torn

Possessed of this treasure

what wouldn't I do

go forth and get my hands around

a dream or two

Stick my neck out

no more the cautious terrapin

Oh if I only

had a little discipline

what

2.3563 : 2/3/15 : Bacon (Endless Axis 296/500)

Is this the hammer

will this grindstone

save my bacon

to hell with all of it

I'm dying cannot

put the brake on

Let me spill into

a black and trackless

void of sleep

behold the next slip

and the riddle

there, exquisite, deep

what

2.3562 : 2/2/15 : Next to Nothing (Endless Axis 295/500)

I said in a minute I'm

doing everything right

from now on forever

starting this very night

So hey right now why

not get next to nothing

right even a bit

hah and you think I'm bluffing

what

2.3561 : 2/1/15 : Unrevealed and Yet Invasive (Endless Axis 294/500)

The unrevealed and yet

invasive Lord

and hope unwanted's

a thousand edge sword

I get cut up

any which way I turn

I should shut up

however thoughts may churn

It's been a while

hello Mr. Dim

I swore on a stack of mothers

I never knew him

but that invasive master

invisible hysterical

I should shut up

hell that would be a miracle

what

2.3560 : 1/31/15 : Hundred Weight (Endless Axis 293/500)

I load my pockets

by the hundred weight

proof against such moments

so don't hesitate

I bet the family jewels

On caverns vast

And how the present

spins the future into past

what

2.3559 : 1/30/15 : Typing Test (Endless Axis 292/500)

Called upon

the typing test

better I guess than an

exploding vest

glance in a mirror

am I the change I'm looking for

get in on this disenchanted

world on the ground floor

I stopped calling out

turned my face

I can't be killed

though I will be replaced

as this flight grinds

to existential arrest

and I go down consigned

to take the typing test

what

2.3558 : 1/29/15 : Course (Endless Axis 291/500)

Just now I need to shut up

and change course:

I need to drink a river

need to eat a horse

I need fire and spirits

in equal portions

a bracer for the shock

and the end of all distortions

what

2.3557 : 1/28/15 : Visionary, Translator (Endless Axis 290/500)

Visionary, translator

stationary

plan hater

gotta drift

mull

flow

I'll spin you when I

Bang

go

Parabolic concentrator

Wide net

fire hose later

Open plan

Open heart

Soon ten years since

I hit start

what

2.3556 : 1/27/15 : 5 Vie (Endless Axis 289/500)

5 vie for frame space

in my mind

Science and Transcendence

And oh how they twine

Ecology and Justice

oh grasping for what's true

and a fifth I cannot name

but I know it's You

I had a dream

awake in light

in a sound of pounding surf

that I cooked up one night

As I felt the five

Grasp and tug and pull

it seems old nameless must win out

but until then my dance card's full

what

2.3555 : 1/26/15 : 24 1 Down (Endless Axis 288/500)

24, 1 down

I professed and promised

Knowing I'm a clown

Playing this pantomime

I was never up to do the time

but I did it anyway

and never really stopped

Or questioned that play

soon 2, 3 4 5

Everyone will pass blankly

I suppose I'll wind up still alive

but I'll pretend it's not a trick

I'll land this one and make it stick

and ride it home on a rail

no more excuses

no more chasing my tail

what

2.3554 : 1/25/15 : Pine (Endless Axis 287/500)

Rushing through a lot

Someday you fear

you'll pine to savor

every rough spot

It doesn't seem nice

and it doesn't seem good

and who the hell are you

to tell me what I should?

And still that

doesn't get me anywhere

I'd love a new routine

or just to sit and blindly stare

but all I've got's this sighing

heaving up forever trying

what

2.3553 : 1/24/15 : Condensate (Endless Axis 286/500)

Stab blind again now

trying to pin the condensate

have I got anything

besides I hope it's not too late

do I believe in the meaning still

as much as in the bitter pill

and if I have to climb this hill

I'll take you all with me I will

Somebody smarter than me

has already tried and failed

and catastrophes come thick

however I might rant and rail

Well here's your little ray of sun

another few is all I'm done

I could be you or anyone

You: have a little crazy fun

what

2.3552 : 1/23/15 : Thread Back (Endless Axis 285/500)

Gotta get up up

pulled that thread back hard

heedless of what unravels

or what it might foment for a bard

lurking in this reproachful tower

dreaming about the manifesto

trying to figure out what's that's opposite

trying to spring the trick hey presto

deliver unto me a vision

Oh I don't believe in any of that smack

it's just a way of telling stories

at least until the thread snaps back

what

2.3551 : 1/22/15 : No Runner (Endless Axis 284/500)

Slow off the mark

and no runner

Never had much luck

except as a gunner

in a war of worlds

back in the tower days

despite it if I could

I wouldn't relive that haze

So what now

nothing but up and out

over the sandbags

fake this savage shout

Until I get picked off

or break through

I spun a lot of tales

but I can't fake you

what

2.3550 : 1/21/15 : Puzzle (Endless Axis 283/500)

Is this a puzzle

or just a mess

I'd get on top of it

but I got so much stress

Will it yield to me

if I sleep on it tonight

wake me with the answer

steady creep from dim to light

what

2.3549 : 1/20/15 : It Makes You Think (Endless Axis 282/500)

It makes you think

about how the time always

keeps slipping

I read a joint about it

Called count the clock

that shit was gripping

wish we could go back

Knowing what we know

It's just impossible

It makes you think

could it be everything's saved

could be all loss is bull

but is the bad saved too

the agony eternal

ever hanging there

it makes me think

it's typical: no

easy answers anywhere

what

2.3548 : 1/19/15 : Battery (Endless Axis 281/500)

Does the battery have enough

charge in in it?

You'd think so it's sure

enough large i'n'it?

What's left that's

penny for a pound these days?

how will I live with it

If my sound dismays?

I pulled the poison plug

jeez 15 years

just have to dodge the random squirts

the imp aims at my ears

started to charge the battery

and now I'm at my peak

and I'll power up your crazy bike

'Cause you're my kind of freak

what

2.3547 : 1/18/15 : Idea Men (Endless Axis 280/500)

Heaven help me and preserve me

from the idea men

a thousand curses on the fools

who live by the damn pen

my left hand in a bloody box

to the one who can sell me release

cast me into trackless sleep

and bid every idea to cease

what

2.3546 : 1/17/15 : TALL (Endless Axis 279/500)

It's a Right

to turn aside

the storybook mentality

all's well, ever

it's a ride

the black and white duality

but things go on

and things occur

it seems you must make

Something of it all

If you somehow didn't

Still be a story sure

and real and made up

seem equally tall

what

2.3545 : 1/16/15 : Retread (Endless Axis 278/500)

Can I just retread

something already said

oh good shall be saved

and every trial braved

the moment it will come

I'll come in proud welcome

retread that line one more day

a dream but hey that's okay

what

2.3544 : 1/15/15 : Target (Endless Axis 277/500)

My invisible target

my highest point ambition

backed into the same corner

try to squeeze past the attrition

with these tricks of lists and schedules

with this magic charm

with so little firm to go on

but be kind and do less harm

I'm up to my neck in it

these worldly ends and means

I'm down here with the plebeians

we're packed in like sardines

and would I wish to swim upstream

oh would I wish to rise

risk getting eaten by a

bigger fish sure no surprise

but my target looms over

Still enticing, lost, unseen

But if I'm to stop shooting blindly

I'm going to need a new routine

what

2.3543 : 1/14/15 : The Chaos Script (Endless Axis 276/500)

I try to tap the leisure well

but all I get's the chaos script

try again try again try again

or so the motivation robots quipped

If I only had a hero's heart

I would just toss it all and write the book

but I want a sure thing or at least some insurance

So I keep searching searching for that hook

what

2.3542 : 1/13/15 : Wondering (Endless Axis 275/500)

Still wondering

what time's made of

and who makes it

Still wondering

what works this thirst up

What slakes it

will I stop wondering

or breathing first

Will time ever

dull this thirst?

what

2.3541 : 1/12/15 : Pithed (Endless Axis 274/500)

After the ice-pick cold

pithed my skull

the leeches drew their blood

and sent me reeling out

for belly full

And pretty soon

got the pick again

it's a miracle

I can still count to ten

and what's the point

of these mundane tales

What's the point of anything

that won't drive sales

I used to think I had

all that jack dicked

but the pings and yarrows

just picked and picked and picked

what

2.3540 : 1/11/15 : Voices (Endless Axis 273/500)

I don't hear voices

no it's more like a hum

lean in and I'll murmur

where I reckon it's from

this kid I know showed me

two mirrors opposed

and the illusion thus composed

two kids

two tin cans

ten billion strings

why in the hell

am I still counting things

wanna get up up

I deny myself my favorite leaf

and the new one I turned over

was bitter

and gave no relief

Soon the black tide

will roll over

you'll laugh but that's my

bright side

I add that one to the

book of searches

and give thanks to my

thick hide

let me lose the marks and reminders

let me find work

and affix the blinders

and let the not-voices

drone and roar

and let me want

for nothing more

what

2.3539 : 1/10/15 : Hand In It (Endless Axis 272/500)

Betrayal and abandonment

make a good tale

Where's your hand in it

Nowhere in these pages

these passages

Guess I got fed up

Guess I said what gives

I made a little noise

I don't suppose you noticed

I guess I'd a been better off

dwelling on the lotus

or the holy writs

or the stars or yarrow stalks

a nasty little voice says

better listen how the money talks

what

2.3538 : 1/9/15 : Riposte (Endless Axis 271/500)

Every vicious riposte

then what I flashed:

the most

savory return of all

hells yeah

the ball

what

2.3537 : 1/8/15 : Volleys (Endless Axis 270/500)

Get lost among the volleys

So many arrows

I dreamed God took a nap

So I had to count the sparrows

as they flew under the shadows

of ten thousand spinning shafts

and I spun my wheels in shallow surf

ignoring my first drafts

can we not call a truce

I get shouted out from all sides

and I should get this act together

Comes more marches, comes more ides

but I'll end up a pincushion

I go out without a shield

and I still can't seem to stomach

Choosing which weapon to wield

what

2.3536 : 1/7/15 : Drop a Dime (Endless Axis 269/500)

Drop a dime

a penny in this cup

I swear to God

I'm going to quit

and give it up

then I don't

then I don't

then I don't once more

and heaven help me

what the hell's in store

the killer cowards

still running amok

still struggling with the

bottom line and feeling stuck

Still get a glimpse of

majesty

through clouds that briefly part

still not quite halfway there

but

it's more now than a start

what

2.3535 : 1/6/15 : All Along (Endless Axis 268/500)

And just like that

I see: all the wrong reasons

and can't recall the right ones

and thinking of the seasons

all gone oh so

Long long ago

then I remember

and it's still

what it was about all along

what

2.3534 : 1/5/15 : Salton Sea (Endless Axis 267/500)

Dreaming real in a

standard fugue

living on the Salton Sea

burning Partagas

only the desert's free

Don't think about 

beating the odds

outlive the good ones

Stuck with the pods

Expire only half old

On the Salton Sea

build parks for kids

Plant a palm tree

what

2.3533 : 1/4/15 : Previously (Endless Axis 266/500)

Back to the square

previously named

well aware of by whom

I got gamed

best at this point

to keep it zipped

someday hard to believe

but this too got shipped

what

2.3532 : 1/3/15 : The Bottom Line (Endless Axis 265/500)

Could I call this progress

the bottom line's not shifting

Should I write the manifesto

could I straight resort to grifting

try to dowse what's in my nature

savage brevity no edits

Someday I'll tip you to the answers

buried in the final credits

what

2.3531 : 1/2/15 : Even So (Endless Axis 264/500)

Why did I sign up for this

valleys and hills

Why are things run by these

hustlers and shills

What will the future bring

do I want to know

hardly caught up again

but I'll keep my resolution even so

what

2.3530 : 1/1/15 : Killing It (Endless Axis 263/500)

Not sure about

the precedent

Still dodged

the gloomiest revenant

and tried

and learned a little bit

too late

and not exactly killing it

but but

oh hey drop that refrain

for up and up

and I'll be back again

what

2.3529 : 12/31/14 : Stakes (Endless Axis 262/500)

OK well

figure out what's at stake

better deliver

because the new alternative

Sure feels like a fake

that leaves me craving

the old real taste

that leaves me hating

this old postwar paste

what

2.3528 : 12/30/14 : Bar (Endless Axis 261/500)

Never fall in love

with a bar as it drops lower

One day I will prove

I am a doer

not a shower

And I'll prove myself

worthy in the small things

ring that bell

and earn my wings

what

2.3527 : 12/29/14 : Sacrifice (Endless Axis 260/500)

Is all fear of time

fear of regret

is all fear that

this is all we get

remembered joy

it comes with a price

and there is no true life

without sacrifice

what

2.3526 : 12/28/14 : Thick (Endless Axis 259/500)

This pea soup

is thick getting thicker

I could go on and on

but I'd rather be quicker

rather call

the whole thing a wrap

Sounds worse than I mean

but anyway tip my cap

what

2.3525 : 12/27/14 : Luxo (Endless Axis 258/500)

Throw down

the ascetic act

I'm coming on

with the luxo pact

no apologies

because it ain't like that

I just really like the look

of a monocle

and top hat

I heard a thing about the lizard gang

some have to spoil

well some have to bang

Well I'm above it

I'm just so refined

the punters say it's looking

like a crash but never mind

what

2.3524 : 12/26/14 : Double Y (Endless Axis 257/500)

Tear up plans

a through double y

don't need to scrap

or beg when I'm such a cool guy

from now on first class

goodbye to inner conflict

Sure I deserve the very best

this late stage mayhem can inflict

Because plan double z

is gonna open eyes wide around every block

because I got a dirty need

to make everybody feel my culture shock

because plan double y was to live not to die

long enough for the fire to burn

well past the point of control or return

what

2.3523 : 12/25/14 : Adamant (Endless Axis 256/500)

I can only

throw up barriers

they all seem

to get crossed

struggle to believe

I've rolled with

every trash hand

I've been tossed

Sure I'll muddle through

end up somewhere

only adamant

conclusion

Come what may

won't cease to care

what

2.3522 : 12/2414 : Peace on Earth (Endless Axis 255/500)

There is no peace on earth

I said

And then what came:

was silence, dead

And what will launch my

odyssey

A fat book

of theodicy

then couldn't scrape up

another line

eyes only for

the deep incline

and hold my breath

till down is up

now give me peace

or dash this cup

what

2.3521 : 12/23/14 : The Piece on Earth (Endless Axis 254/500)

Treasure ten

this cloudy shard

the piece on earth

why's it so hard

to get along

to make

common ground

the piece on earth

once lost

now found

we dream of other

parts it fits

We suffer visions

how it all went splits

What happens

when I hold it thus

close my eyes

now this thing gets serious

what

2.3520 : 12/22/14 : Of Necessity (Endless Axis 253/500)

I take a

strong dose of necessity

Wish I would get

what you're trying to get

through to me

The only one thing

clear

I've got to work it right out

down here

Grant me to shake off

and I swear I will break off

This dim long plunge

into complexity

what

2.3519 : 12/21/14 : Sauce (Endless Axis 252/500)

Been cooking 24 years

have I been gathering moss

right up until today

I forgot all about the sauce

Oh my so rich

oh gift of the stew

not a person alive

I'd share it with but you

I'll visit the stone

Some time this year

can't doubt all I say

the sauce well it isn't here

what

2.3518 : 12/20/14 : The Greater Peace (Endless Axis 251/500)

Wouldn't that be just the thing

but refuse it

grasp the notion

fling

the very thought

or chance of it away

And now in a little silent

place I pray

Grant to me the greater peace

in this season

Gift, release

Uplift and hold me

carry me through

till I'm ready to listen to you

what

2.3517 : 12/19/14 : Hold This Fire (Endless Axis 250/500)

I blew a hundred shots

to feed your complacency

look at you all

Sleeping and it's plain to see

from me you're not expecting much

Well if I ever had the golden touch

I sure don't have it now

Someone mutter mediocrity

Almost feel sorry

in our awesome meritocracy

No need to waste time

wondering why I'm smiling

no need to sidetrack

or look at what I'm piling

up around your feet

or how I'm spiking every beat

or when I came to

hold this fire in my hand

What's that noise

relax

it's only shifting sand

what

2.3516 : 12/18/14 : Bad Atlas (Endless Axis 249/500)

The only way to break out

if it's only for a day

And laughing as nobody

hears a single thing I say

I've been letting down the axis

a bad Atlas shrugging off his load

after all it was just a nice thought

and such things will erode

maybe we're standing on

the shoulders of the weak and small

maybe the giants are

the ones who need us groundlings most of all

and none of them will matter much

if we run it all aground

so I will learn a cheerful tune

to whistle while I'm dropping every sound

what

2.3515 : 12/17/14 : Trivial (Endless Axis 248/500)

World's being heavy on me

I'd rather be trivial

You say it's privilege

true that but I'm convivial

I'll come out swinging

if I can just pull myself upright

and end this self-destruction

this long this trackless night

what

2.3514 : 12/16/14 : Turning (Endless Axis 247/500)

Here turning turn turn

Whose heart through worming

burn burn

turn away

turn back

another day

another dollar stack

Here I stake it

rap rap

Admit I used to fake it

but now I'll tap

a vein of sap

I laid damn deep

and whatever went before

You may keep

what

2.3513 : 12/15/14 : Join Them (Endless Axis 246/500)

The million mes

Billions? Maybe

some degree

of infinity

and the fractures

have been cracking me up

the fighting

regrets

and I'm no young pup

I'm not beaten

but anyway

got to join them

and brilliant

new sayings

we'll coin them

what

2.3512 : 12/14/14 : Beaten (Endless Axis 245/500)

Feelin 'em

beaten them

odds but

likely illusion

and other kinds

out worshiping their

gods in

all their profusion

My secret plan

was to

reproduce old destiny

probably a dream

but once did seem

it was a moment

drew the best in me

what

2.3511 : 12/13/14 : Deuce (Endless Axis 244/500)

Same and same and

no excuse

forget already

really what the deuce

And a little bit of

delineation

a little bit

you call that creation

I already wrote

about every leaf

they're all old leaves now

and how time's still a thief

what

2.3510 : 12/12/14 : Effortless (Endless Axis 243/500)

If I opt again

for the effortless

sometimes it works out

how is just a guess

deep in my gold heart

suspect mine is really all

where my axeman at

where my axeman at

forget it

do not call

right now want a flash

revelation

effortless

right now I want a partisan

right now I want a yes

what

2.3509 : 12/11/14 : Possible (Endless Axis 242/500)

Maybe I'm afraid to

figure out what's possible

Maybe I'm afraid that

I already run that bell

What the hell now, oh man

down this rabbit hole again

at least not this at least not that one

step back hon I'm going in

what

2.3508 : 12/10/14 : Wind and Light (Endless Axis 241/500)

Could we make something

of wind and light

Find a way to make peace

never more to fight

I should say oh yes

So what's the delay for

Oh just one more famine

just one little war

I thought I set out to shout

Up at beauty's high window

tied up in sunlight

racing like the wind blow

oh one more revolution

putting different thugs in charge

one more false economy

small eaten by the large

Maybe I turn my back

today on the whole affair

If I know nature

I'll still find beauty everywhere

light and wind

on the waters and shimmer

to hell with your rhetoric

make do with a trace and glimmer

what

2.3507 : 12/09/14 : With the Thumbs (Endless Axis 240/500)

This interesting class

is suspended but not cancelled

Random Walk University

trying not to get Greteled and Hanseled

I mean left out in the woods

I mean trying to track with crumbs

I mean set up for the oven

Look at this guy with the thumbs

tried to string me up by them

but I would not drop the class

As I'm bound to learn

to be the master

if you'll please forgive

my being crass

what

2.3506 : 12/08/14 : Vessel (Endless Axis 239/500)

So drink the liquor

So drink the tea

behold the vessel

and from want be free

enough and water

enough and broth

hey new horizon

all cut from whole cloth

deliver nine treasures

appears a stoneware cup

thought provides content

magic fills it up

heck could call it silicone

gasoline

another irony

of the post-machine

what

2.3505 : 12/07/14 : The Confusion (Endless Axis 238/500)

Hey wait I think I fell for the

illusion, you know they called me

the confusion and I fell for

the old forest just for a tree

now buried deep is any sense

I should get emotional sure

I could conjure up old highs lows

Words meant to insult and inure

If we live these old slaps over

knock my confused head right on back

Did we learn a thing I think not

the illusion shows not a crack

can't make an excuse anymore

of my confusion be it so

acute painful and burdensome

Might seem unfair well ain't it though?

what

2.3504 : 12/06/14 : Empty Spaces are the Vessels of Use (Endless Axis 237/500)

Whether winding up

or wrapping up

It's beyond me, this small hour

What I'll lay down to

now I'll rise

dream the plain

the gap

the tower

empty spaces are

the vessels of use

maybe I'm afraid

of what I might turn loose

and yet and still

I see the crisis peak

in the empty pause

before I dare to speak

Something wrapping up

something winding down

and still unsure

Whether to play prince or clown

what

2.3503 : 12/05/14 : Flash Point (Endless Axis 236/500)

Point and flash

point and crash

I never knew

the whole story

half sounded

like balderdash

If there were

any plans

they fell apart

and my

subconscious

needs a real

heart to heart

what

2.3502 : 12/04/14 : Ground (Endless Axis 235/500)

Got to

get to ground

rather

not make

a sound

better be

quickly done

Call this

the ground

floor one

what

2.3501 : 12/03/14 : Action (Endless Axis 234/500)

Get action words

get to the point

push it forward

go faster

this day inaugurate

anoint

get what plot is

hallelujah

long last

Taste ultimate

freedom

before another

day's past

what

2.3500 : 12/02/14 : Lost (Endless Axis 233/500)

Find the fear in the impression

nothing's ever lost

true no indiscretion

true no secret cost

the metaphor's a holograph

the whole in every part

you said it looked like paranoia

I said boy don't make me start

in on the lost stuff

you think I don't know

I don't really have it rough

but even so I lost plenty

more to come

You better stop you better give me some

lost the revelation

still here but it's not flashing

anymore it's bargain basement

oh the value's always slashing

because it's minute to minute

and you can't slow down

and rolling through the punchline

is the root of my renown

what

2.3499 : 12/01/14 : The Lesson (Endless Axis 232/500)

Consider the lesson

too simple to dismiss

refuse fear

even of being remiss

the solution

When you're grasping

fearing running out

is to embrace now

and dissolve all doubt

what

2.3498 : 11/30/14 : Farther Lands (Endless Axis 231/500)

I choked out that

son of a bitch metaphor

Didn't have the heart to kill him

but I showed that bum the door

who'd cast a dark spell

that had bound our hands

and killed the dream inside us

to reach the farther lands

everyone scratching mandalas

on their pocket computers

oh hell we picked this

from a thousand million futures

I guess we'll see every green field

turned to drifting sands

before we reignite our passion

for seeing farther lands

but I won't tie my wagon

to this race or age

Whatever dim dull fate

I've got my very own page

And since only such a one

ever knows where he stands

lift your head up and say

you'll join me running for

the farther lands

what

2.3497 : 11/29/14 : Crew (Endless Axis 230/500)

And for these goals

that stay obstinately still

And those who it seems they won't

though they say they will

don't let it get me down

be glad for the ones

who break through

Someday a mission

Someday a peace chest

Someday a righteous crew

what

2.3496 : 11/28/14 : Ice Arrives (Endless Axis 229/500)

Ice arrives

I know for sure you mean to cool me

Fooled me twice

So now never forever fool me

anymore

and this ice I mean to beat it

this halting state

I'm no machine I will defeat it

Get out ahead

race the ice's leading edge

So say hello

to my little thin end of the wedge

I mean to dive into

the crack of this dumb earth

So spun to chaos

yet I can't contain my mirth

what

2.3495 : 11/2714 : Raising Thanks (Endless Axis 228/500)

Pardon me and

forgive my cliché

but must raise thanks

for a beautiful day

for a wonderful world

for a beautiful wife

for my beautiful boy

for a wonderful life

fear kills gratitude

root of all fighting

Don't pardon the war machine

riots inciting

I come hard with peace

unflinching: resolved

raising thanks all the while

while a great day revolved

what

2.3494 : 11/26/14 : The Jewel (Endless Axis 227/500)

Sure the excitement

may precede a crash

here though's the jewel

I pulled outta the trash

Nothing of value can

be ever lost

it's impossible: and it

annihilates cost

no consultation when you're

chained to a radiator

despite transcendence then my

enemy is forever the hater

but one day even they

will be pulled back across

It stings a bit to hear but they don't

get to queer our perfection with loss

what

2.3493 : 11/25/14 : Great (Endless Axis 226/500)

The wicked impulse

comes and goes

You said you couldn't

decide and it shows

Let me list every

thing left too late

no time no time

nah isn't that great

what

2.3492 : 11/24/14 : Clock (Endless Axis 225/500)

Thankful for being

on no clock but my own

just write the check

and leave me well alone

I've had my paychecks

may need a couple more

Come to me my clock

my taxing paramour

damn my distractions

and the axe I fear

give thanks at all times

watch the clock disappear

And I pierce right through

to this all time spree

and as I spool the real dope

I can't hide my glee

what

2.3491 : 11/23/14 : Reclamation (Endless Axis 224/500)

Find in true thanks

a passage into

transformation

been writing empty lines

and shooting blanks

but this new foundation

will establish

reclamation

what

2.3490 : 11/22/14 : Tropical (Endless Axis 223/500)

Give me not relevant

give me not topical

Give me crude escape

real cliché

remote and tropical

Give me Deus Ex

Yeah

give me full machina

look at me go

tell me so

ain't we rockin', nah

hah...

It's real quiet here

kid in a

fever bed

dark cold mist out

Strange in here

locked up head

Count a blessing

I guess

a little time to think

then I

forgot the rest

what

2.3489 : 11/21/14 : Rebel (Endless Axis 222/500)

Something

rebels

all the messages

the point

it's just

a crazy wheel

and this is just

another joint

Oh you

heard that before

we've heard it all

big ho hum

let me paste

a big fake smile

for axis' sake

on all this glum

what

2.3488 : 11/20/14 : Battalions (Endless Axis 221/500)

And still sending

the troubles in battalions

no ward signs

no magic medallions

What can I say

back to basics

Guess it won't kill me

though the mind

it may play tricks

Got to strategize

marshal this ragged band

turn the next ellipsis

into another ampersand

what

2.3487 : 11/19/14 : Lens (Endless Axis 220/500)

Before I can

count to ten

the whole thing's laid out

as through a

different lens

who can argue

big picture, clear view

who could wonder

Should have guessed it's you

what

2.3486 : 11/18/14 : Dig In (Endless Axis 219/500)

Was the message

of the dream

to give up or

to dig in

Wake up far

out on the beam

When did this

carnival begin

I don't want to dig in too deep

in this shifting sand

I need a rock I need a rock

I need a clue I need a hand

I don't want to dig too deep

because I want a guarantee

was the message of the dream

there's no such thing

I was lost but now I see

there's no lesson

in the stars

You have to come up

with your here and now

Well if you think

I'm blowing smoke

there's a precedent

I'll allow

what

2.3485 : 11/17/14 : The Beast (Endless Axis 218/500)

One way or another

the beast will out

but the way's clouded

So I've got to scout

turned out in darkness

hardly tooled up

hang tight I'll get

another world spooled up

Wake up too early

think I detect the beast stalk

Stay up too late

dirty pictures and cheap talk

I try to fight it

when it's nowhere to be seen

regret the distraction

back to building the machine

what

2.3484 : 11/16/14 : Gears (Endless Axis 217/500)

Are the gears spinning

is something getting worked out

Don't want to check in

I guess that I'm all lurked out

It's been too long I guess

since I really did the math

got lost in the magical thinking

lost the plot and took a bath

Are the gears spinning

cooking up another transform

Will I know how to read the output

Will it tell me how to set up

will I start out on the right foot

what

2.3483 : 11/15/14 : Institution (Endless Axis 216/500)

I strike a blow at the heart

of all fear and discord

I'd say it was a good week

and deserving of a good word

Show me the rhythm of

the next great revolution

show me the foundation of

a persistent institution

Give me a sign anyway

that the time's right to raise the shout

I just want to start a quiet movement

to form a mob and throw all the bums out

Found this institution for

a modest goal, say 500 years

hope this sick society is ready

When the fog lifts, and the teacher appears

what

2.3482 : 11/14/14 : Crowns (Endless Axis 215/500)

Sure I'm mistaking

moons for fingers

Kings for crowns

and songs for singers

would you believe

I'm all about the bright side

have to call it a good week

well despite the slight slide

will there always be despite

will it never shine clear

resign myself to fate

maybe somewhere, not here

still throw over

all second guessing

get out of all mad quick

and trust somewhere's a blessing

what

2.3481 : 11/13/14 : Falter (Endless Axis 214/500)

The falter and the false step

by now must have a bad rep

but the recovery is all

Don't call it a fall

The bastard and the bad breaks

I'm kicking I've got the shakes

they called it a bad habit

raze it to dirt and half slab it

to make it really rain witches

don't guess my rhyme save nine pitches

please when the pivot comes don't let me falter

despite it all there's not one thing I'd alter

despite myself I'm filled with hope

mouth full of soap, upslope with enough rope

what

2.3480 : 11/12/14 : Phase 10 (Endless Axis 213/500)

Back to square two

pray I'm not stuck again

'Most 15 years

dreaming about Phase 10

feel stupid, bespoke iconography

believe me

this ain't hagiography

I wish I had a little more time

to sit and think about phase 10

work is better but it's not so shiny

and there's sure a couple

things I wish I could do over again

If I could get back inside

sure it would destroy the mystery

maybe just a fool constrained on all sides

jumping up and down

to insist he's free

But hey we're on square two

Can't deny it's progress

work more relax

chin up complain less

hey that kid, 28

don't cut him up so hard

he got us here in his way

he played his card

what

2.3479 : 11/11/14 : Replicate (Endless Axis 212/500)

Must replicate

screw it

it's a date

put my money money where

I've been blowing

hot air

Reproduce

the result

add enigma

to insult

I'm not backing off

no sir

So to the pot

I go to stir

what

2.3478 : 11/10/14 : Understand (Endless Axis 211/500)

I understand now

and tomorrow will be different

I'm haunting a past of mine

like a back channel revenant

A lot of things won't change

Won't or can't who knows

come hell or heavy weather

I'm knocking down the rest like dominoes

The answers sure aren't in

these old picture trips

but it'll do to burn the last hour

or so before I raise this sunk ship

what

2.3477 : 11/9/14 : Harmed (Endless Axis 210/500)

Harmed early in

is there any chance at recovery

oh please be this time

find I'm still on

the voyage of discovery

oh be the end

of denial and regret

and every thing

I couldn't get

what

2.3476 : 11/8/14 : More Art (Endless Axis 209/500)

Many things can happen

the horror and the hope

Pray for more art

and a wider scope

Maybe just need to

relax and dig in

And vow to push hard enough

to fit this peg in

If I made a real vow

What on earth would I unseal

What's highest and holy

or unquestionably real

Open my eyes wide

and ride it without fear

believe believe believe

that way at last will be made clear

what

2.3475 : 11/7/14 : The Great Wheel (Endless Axis 208/500)

Something is beginning, again

This angry doubt a devil's hand

trying to steal my pen

Oh how have I forgotten so much

how to move with you

turned within and out of touch

now that I reject

the deck the arcana

no choice but faith

but without the mana

Was it before or after

the party, the line changed

to if you don't work you don't eat?

If I could only find

the light, the easy yoke

if I could be resigned

just another spoke

the great wheel

used to believe in its sweep

but then I thought in the end I'd get a good seat

It isn't this it started a while ago

not exactly asleep

and for sure I didn't know

If you forgot you just have to relearn

at least the lesson isn't

complicated: turn turn turn

what

2.3474 : 11/6/14 : Live By My Wits (Endless Axis 207/500)

I need out quick

so what then

trying to live

by my wits and pen

or am I trying really

don't get me started

a hard spell

worn out, downhearted

I've been letting

the axis down

feeling left behind

in a mean town

one light I'm 

giving up the dumb dreams

I'll help you in a minute

but my eyes are full of beams

what

2.3473 : 11/5/14 : AM HERE (Endless Axis 206/500)

The back burner wasn't on

and that pot's stone cold

and I've got a real clear

picture about getting old

still the week is almost young

and the list is long

you think you know what's coming next

I won't tell you that you're wrong

but you are not right and

your scheme didn't work

lottery day's done

and so much for team berserk

I've been a long time coming

and the cost's been dear

but you better make room

because I'm here

I got fire on every station

strange I still got friends

and the strange situation

Is that nothing really ever ends

that was the lesson

of the first big goodbye

and it's true there's little chance

less than half of everything's a lie

what

2.3472 : 11/4/14 : Electrosurf (Endless Axis 205/500)

I need this

hiss

shuffle

swell swell

spill over

roar

white noise

crush poise

And I start

to chill in the electrosurf

I need to find

my gratitude again

to be here

Somewhere clear

of the shilling

and the astroturf

Where was I

Oh yes

crash roar recede

low thrum

deep hum

then

sifting sharp

and fine indeed

what

2.3471 : 11/3/14 : No Heart (Endless Axis 204/500)

No heart

no faith

no stomach

for this round

Oh boy

for sure

I'm going

to get pound

down

to the meat

laid flat

count ten

Heaven help

me and

I get back

up again

what

2.3470 : 11/2/14 : Proper Start (Endless Axis 203/500)

Do everything right

for a change

but a proper start and me

still seem to be estranged

and the answer's not here

and there's no there there

and I try to play it cool

but I really really care

look high and low

to science philosophy and art

trying like hell to track down

one proper start

what

2.3469 : 11/1/14 : Thankful (Endless Axis 202/500)

Give unto me

to live as I dream

be a superhero

Solo no team

I don't need to be

or do everything

just need my personal

flying wing

eighth treasure

of the ancient

and the lost

Someday will reclaim the art

but oh at what cost

better to keep it special

Saved for one special guy

excuse me while

I kiss off and fly

skip the middlemen

money invention power

make the simple

peasants' hearts soar

See the wicked cower

Standing on my wing

no lines, red tape

Skip the middlemen

Skip straight to the escape

what
