2.4825 : 7/19/18 : Won't

I don't want to

So I won't

You might care

but I'm guessing you don't

what

2.4824 : 7/18/18 : 3 Brief (3)

3 brief

3 briefest

time sure

the thiefest

one aim

go down quicker

figure soon how

to not get sicker

what

2.4823 : 7/17/18 : 3 Brief (2)

3 brief

descents

it matters still

briefly take on

the hatter's quill

by virtue of

one mad aproach

till all the darts

of life encroach

what

2.4822 : 7/16/18 : 3 Brief (1)

Time to quash hyperbole

This no descent to hell you see

Just common grief

the sadness up

And one more lap

to drink it up

Three brief repairs

Down in the loop

Last time recoup

what

2.4821 : 7/15/18 : Beat Goes On

I too can fairly say

the beat goes on

Just now don't want the day

to go too long

can't say I'm too jazzed

for the coming act

and if I get razzed

I deserve it in fact

what

2.4820 : 7/14/18 : Front

Watch them on the heights

a thousand floors

if it's two

me at eleven

I can explain the rest

do I have to

spell it out for you?

I can't get up

above the chop

The doldrum ocean's

set up shop

now let me take a break

look at them codgers

man can still front

a little heavy in the face

if I may be so blunt

Surely too late to start

can't scrape the loss up

some plan be please come forward

hey Eminence wassup?

what

2.4819 : 7/13/18 : Moth

Thing has no

direction

it's a restless

moth

illusion of

the restart

new, cut

from whole cloth

nothing to

pinpoint

no reference

sample

another week

to come

the same

evidence

is ample

what

2.4818 : 7/12/18 : Uncertainty

I studied the principle

pushing 30 years back

now a hundred million miles

away from having the knack

the math to form the inkling

the glimpse of the reveal

and better not to think

of what I let my stumbling

random path steal

there's commonplace uncertainty

awash at every turn

at least I've lost the taste

of being clever with the savage burn

that I saw it as a glimpse

of reality's stark resolution

fuzzing out just where

You might have thought

there's be that fine solution

what

2.4817 : 7/11/18 : Tether

Are the ends

growing together

will the next step

yank the tether

We no longer

see the other

me just father

you just mother

if I asked

oh really would you

Said I couldn't

oh but could you

knew it wouldn't

be tonight

and the when

is out of sight

what

2.4816 : 7/10/18 : Regimen

Finally get enough sleep

get on a gratitude regimen

frequent active breaks

could I be the specimen

so many tricks

that I never apply

meditate, eat great

will I ever be that guy

It just can't go on

the gnashing and grumbling

Where's the effect tho

of this truth to which I'm tumbling

the regimen sits

in its dusty box

and you'd be a fool

to invest in my stocks

what

2.4815 : 7/9/18 : Settle

Settle in

like I'm born to scrub

in a stolen moment

pathetic little dub

worrying about

my unruly tongue

pray one more outburst

goes unsung

pray the morningmen

carry off my leavings

dwindling sins

of various resleevings

pray the next hallway

ends in a door

oh the sorry little prayers

I settle for

what

2.4814 : 7/8/18 : Out of My Mind

can't much get the one thing

out of my mind

no hidden meanings here

just whining on the grind

forgot for a week

but it didn't forget me

and the sink and the swell

will aid and abet me

in being washed over

and soon well submerged

no big change in the offing

no transforming verged

I'm not out of my mind

oh I'm lucid and clear

once more into the running

try to be of good cheer

what

2.4813 : 7/7/18 : Usual Dog

So the usual dog

wants to bark and protest

So I put what I've got

saying just give it a rest

it's nice getting back

back back to normal

so though I didn't have time

to engrave nothing formal

welcome back problems

welcome back job

anyway you're mine

though at times rough as a cob

 

2.4812 : 7/6/18 : Paint a Picture

If I could paint a picture

because beauty is everywhere

from the highest falls

to the mist in the air

And the things I let drag me down

drift and shift like the fog

If I only could hold steady

pursue fidelity like analog

I'll lose the thread again

distracted by society static

and I'll drag out of that again

as long as I have a few bats left in my attic

Thinking about the ones past

the ones with so much left

I guess the losing is the warp

the beauty is the weft

what

2.4811 : 7/5/18 : Lament

Something in the water

something in the fare

or just how the trouble

finds you everywhere

the habits you know

just can't continue

no sign of the kingdom

of God within you

and no justification

for another lament

in a week I'll be wondering

how the time got spent

what

2.4810 : 7/4/18 : Freedom

Good God don't

ger me started

on freedom the word

generally seems departed

can't stop there of course

but I earned my pause

half baked but then

not expecting applause

what

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

what

2.4808 : 7/2/18 : Rough Night

A rough night

but then things went okay

hope to hook little

bit of perspective

to stay

and not demand much

of the nightly report

everyone's entitled

to a little summer sport

what

2.4807 : 7/1/18 : Witching

This spell is old

its virtue all but gone

and what I'm muttering

is neither poem nor song

And what I've been brewing's

a check I dare not cash

and so so sick

of the same old hash

I can check out

It'll come back tomorrow

and even I'm embarassed

to call the thing sorrow

but it's a weight to be sure

and whether time will tell

is a crystal ball clouded

impervious to any spell

what

2.4806 : 6/30/18 : Angry Candy

No more angry candy

from your loving cup

dumbass think-o-sphere

does its old tear it up

back in that library

that lives now in my dreams

death and love and loss

and memory, all such themes

Did I ever write that letter?

can't really recall

started it I'm sure

sure it doesn't matter at all

what now? you guessed nothing

or so I seem to think

but I hope for everything

from crazy soup to kitchen sink

what

2.4805 : 6/29/18 : Freak Out

So I got to freak out

but real real quiet

looking like a month or so

a steady diet

pray to believe

I'll come through clean

Whatever in the world

I think that would mean

what

2.4804 : 6/28/18 : Straw

That last straw is no joke

When you're the camel

I must have a breaking point

like any other mammal

If I told the tale

oh you'd laugh

I will someday I guess

but it's not the night by half

it doesn't hang together

there's no common thread

clammy and restless

and way too far from bed

making mistakes old and new

and at the crux

I'm just worn out and blue

what

2.4803 : 6/27/18 : Dream Train

Watching the dream train

the summer

the fall

The spring all past

want to see them all

the horror show bombs

the sci fi fandango

the old dismal future

where does all the pain go

load up on the dream train

and shot up in lights

like the whole thing

all the bright

fancy flights

what

2.4802 : 6/26/18 : White Noise

Record every bit of it

end to end

So low so fast

load up hit send

reduced in fidelity

sounds just like white noise

call it performance

are ya feelin' me boys

I wouldn't have the slightest

what to do on a stage

or if a wealthy barfly

offered to buy a page

So I feel so lucky

the secret gets kept

and it's like the white noise

grew a story while I slept

 

2.4801 : 6/25/18 : Lofi

Doing callbacks

and look still lofi

hark back on bad old days

I was a solo guy

and really really

better to be happy

get back to the old style

not be so rappy

and get back to

when I stood guard on crumbs of hope

and stood a little firmer

on yon slippery slope

what

2.4800 : 6/24/18 : Limps

The little thought zaps

the creative juice

rarely follows through

just can't get loose

knowing just what

tomorrow brings

It limps along

and nothing sings

Keep walking

get on with it

when it's gone

you just might miss it

and oh I'll still be

limping along

maybe somehow

get strong

what

2.4799 : 6/23/18 : My Fancy

Whatever strikes my fancy

so I check in getting antsy

I've been phoning it in

Maybe I'm honing a pin

to pop this grown up bubble

probably not, not up for trouble

but I'll let things flow tonight

and just trust things will be all right

what

2.4798 : 6/22/18 : The Young Dilettante

The on and on

the gypsy roll

the moonlight mile

all takes its toll

the tale of

the young dilettante

grown old and ragged

no spring jaunt

vow to turn to

the other path

I've seen the future

done the math

I'll foreswear demons

seek the light

that endless road

won't be my plight

what

2.4797 : 6/21/18 : Silly Affair

Blew a boiing rant

an some silly affair

But it got me past the

doom thoughts so there

and I'll box up that

silly era too

maybe maybe at last

the circuit's coming through

what

2.4796 : 6/20/18 : Write Good

Write good, I guess

I must obey

take every literal

word you say

picking favorites

it's a deep pool fair

or maybe just wide and shallow

hard to tell hout there

in my heart I fear

I'm in the heads down pack

evil runs around again

and I am seeking slack

yet get well bucked

every time I hit the box

If I could only harness

shift it all

in my own stocks

what

2.4795 : 6/19/18 : Squawk

Get all multitasky

meanwhile

life's got pretty

mask-y

once again or maybe

I just like the pose

this grindy

isn't me

or else it gets the hose

not finding

much else to be

there goes that

road I don't like

miss the days

I rode around on my bike

waiting on my own

signal

full of big talk

still feels like the cycle

So listen to me squawk

what

2.4794 : 6/18/18 : Peaks

The mysteries of

the peaks

Stats are all

fakes

Obscurity speaks

louder than

silence

turn off yes

pass by friends

it's still

going on

oh it all takes so long

what

2.4793 : 6/17/18 : Screens

Try to give advice

befitting my state

not feeling so fatherly

not doing so great

too much poking

at the stupid screens

we're all like goldfish

and who knows what it means

spending money

that's not in the bank

give the Man more tether

so he gives me a yank

No idea what I'd do

with that suitcase of cash

except I guess to leave

the younger version a stash

what

2.4792 : 6/16/18 : Dissolved

Smuggle an apple through

the gates of lost time

next up my day so called

so what's on my dime

come strike a blow

against the darkness of the heart

They'll never know

whence came the signal

for the start

paid out in pieces

hammered out the silver strand

I looked behind and

saw no fooprints in the sand

those were the times

before and after

He pulled a straight face

then we both

dissolved in laughter

what

2.4791 : 6/15/18 : Boat

Give me a glad hand

give me a boat

give me a chance

to shove my cha cha

down your throat

not what it sounds like

I just want you to dance

And this is barely a thought

and barely a stance

what

2.4790 : 6/14/18 : Dregs

Copy of a copy

The lines getting soft

like me in this room

unlikely to get aloft

the same ay oh ay ho

is it my best heigh ho

should I mix it up

or drain the dregs in the cup

the blurring gets deeper

who knows what's a keeper

So I keep them all

though the shine seems to pall

snap back up the line

one more copy to make

and the pity of course

is it all I can take

the same ah oh ay ho

is it my best heigh ho

should I mix it up

or drain the dregs in the cup

what

2.4789 : 6/13/18 : Printing Money

Soon as I

dial this disease in

I'll be printing money

sure they howled when

I slipped the tease in

what were you thinking honey

Still quite sure I'm

destined to be a winner

inches from the master plan

cheap destiny

will serve up a rich dinner

'Neath the flutes of a plaster Pan

what

2.4788 : 6/12/18 : Trinket

Little trinket half half plans

I toy aound

surely need changes

not much on the ground

half thoughts daydreams

little ideas

belie mundane existence

not half as free as

happy little clouds

afloat in the sky

and the trinket's getting

dusty as the days pass by

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

2.4786 : 6/10/18 : Lease

just try to find

the spark of hope

maybe like a

periscope

glance above

this turbid swamp

far away from

glitz and pomp

seems so simple

as you say

only love

not fade away

only grant

a rest of peace

one more step on

in this brief lease

what

2.4785 : 6/9/18 : Way of Peace

oh show me

the way of peace

this ugly era

show me an exit please

useful work

rest at day's end

won't you show me?

Neighbor? Friend?

what

2.4784 : 6/8/18 : The Axe

The axe is swinging

felling heroes

more the burden

on all us zeros

Wish I could say

I knew the magic word

to turn it around

but I've never heard

what

2.4783 : 6/7/18 : Little Shop

Just want a mild obsession

to found a little shop

A place to eke out the remainder

come out nowhere near the top

likely well past halfway

closer to two thirds

today I'd say this latter stretch

is strictly for the birds

what

2.4782 : 6/6/18 : Seven Years On

Seven years on

I should express gratitude

I mainly beat the new worm

and less pain's no platitude

Some long hard years

plenty of blood

mystified as to the cause of it

way out clear as mud

of course the grind came in

stole most of the gain

pulled out of the red spiral

So much for less random pain

but I've got to be real

and give a real thanks

at least until life

pulls the next of its unholy pranks

what

2.4781 : 6/5/18 : The Order

Trying to get the order right

how to step down retire from the fight

Daybreak must take it up again

armed with nothing but a pen

I pine I'll fall into a trance

and dream at last my own true dance

the work that feels like coming home

but daytime smashes it to foam

and then I try just to accept

nothing much ever came when I slept

and what I got was what there is

and still the pining dream worlds fizz

what

2.4780 : 6/4/18 : No Magical Place

You go down the rabbit hole fast

It's no magical place

it's a blast from the past

and the present and

help me the future too

I daydream again

about escape with you

I need I need to smother this toxic seed

this angry ghost

this ersatz need

stop looking in the dead wrong places

seek the lower ground

the watery traces

If I put my hands together

bowed to the floor

If I kept my face to the wall

will you show me the door

If I edge out of this hole

a wriggle at a time

stay alert to the revert

and on tiptoes for the chime

what

2.4779 : 6/3/18 : The Mundane

Give half attention

the ranter the mocker

pointed at me

time is the stalker

dragging me along

back into the fray

call it the mundane

just a day to day

where does the time go

I know precisely

I'd tell you at length

if you'd just ask nicely

but that's not your schtick

I might well succumb

mooching holding my dick

what

2.4778 : 6/2/18 : No Plotting

No plotting

no vision tonight

no recalling a brief

glint of hope, bright

down in the tunnel

virtual realm

yet another notion

someone else at the helm

one more thing

to feel bad about

like I had options

like I had clout

closed up shop

gone and forgotten

back to earth mundane

and no more plotting

what

2.4777 : 6/1/18 : Chores

So much for that

back on my head

guess I did enough

no time for instead

all I want now

is to finish the chores

sweep out the chaff

and shut the doors

what

2.4776 : 5/31/18 : Hand Crafted

Twist a few more up

handcrafted I pour up

a bitter witchbrew warlock

a man of peace I uncock

the piece I won't posess

I won't add to this mess

the peace past understanding

let me put up with underhanding

underlings all lying

still many many dying

putting up won't cut it

but I don't know how so shut it

what

2.4775 : 5/30/18 : Rage Funk

Better the toil for sure

than the rage funk

not the good kind no

but the dumb junk

how I take a little

time back

not quite redeemed

but I'll take slack

what

2.4774 : 5/29/18 : Hits

I'm rolling under punches

I must keep

the hits coming

keep singing

keep writing

keep tapping

keep drumming

When it always feels

like so so what

up to my ears

in nonsense

and scut

holding my tongue

my nose

and my horses

don't rush through it

as hits

cruise through the courses

what

2.4773 : 5/28/18 : As Usual

Feeling the effects

as usual

late nights

indulgence

nothing unusual

thinking this time

to pull up quicker

guess I still

loved sickness

why else get sicker

no research

no deep searching

no mulling and dwelling

toward what portal

I'm lurching

keep things simple

damn for once

stick it spike it

forward on all fronts

what

2.4772 : 5/27/18 : Riddle

As we close in on

the beginning of the middle

getting lazy

giving a shrug invoke the riddle

an inkling tickles

but it's not like there's a pulpit

for a gospel I might preach

and anyway

I'm just a culprit

in this seven billion lineup

no no's stand out in the crowd

however I might quietly

however I might loud

try to ring a bell

or flash a little light

better start something small

as well befits

my dim insight

what

2.4771 : 5/26/18 : On Base

Did I hit any home runs

seems like a long time

try to get on base

wait for the song chime

try to work the pause

try to change the script

keep my mind away

from where the story slipped

keep my mind away

from how the plays get ripped

always another day

and watch the page get flipped

what

2.4770 : 5/25/18 : Launch

Launch into

this passage

with perfect intent

all bad thoughts

shall get

well bent

keep balance

rest and work

still a few tricks

in this

middle age turk

be my grubby self

not pristine

but the coin I

pull out will be

perfectly clean

what

2.4769 : 5/24/18 : Consistency

Chasing conistency and scope

chasing the imp of a reserve

Don't know if I'm just stringing out the rope

If there's anything more I deserve

I try to balance out the sides

stay open challenge comfort

still some uneasiness abides

deep down I'm searching for some fort

Something to fortify, provision

something to arm and entrench

easier before when I though I had vision

and only thought to hurl in the odd wrench

what

2.4768 : 5/23/18 : Contraption

Soaped the hours away

on the modern

idiot contraption

this old war brain

is tired

been a long time

since it's seen real action

I know just why

they cloister

in the ivory towers

I lost my least

on decades since

and seldom

taste those powers

but there's no use

crying over

spilled opportunity

dust off the old

contraption

try to find a new community

what

2.4767 : 5/22/18 : On Point

Am I on point

i get so easily astray

The principle

of just a little

every day

seems to be losing

ground to entropy

another morning

dragged awake, dopey

if I can only

stick on a point

ready for striking

when time's the joint

what

2.4766 : 5/21/18 : There Was an Attempt

There was an attempt

to make measure

of just how far I strayed

from my true treasure

of how long an extension

I bought for the latest

series of contemplations

how I still could be the greatest

Someday sure I'll count the cost

write out a list of every item tossed

but today I'll write a zero

and start the count

five by five supplied

a fair amount

what

2.4765 : 5/20/18 : Ask

Don't ask

and I'm not telling

no tale or portent

the runes are spelling

no current interest

in the outcome

just want to finish

as the state is loathsome

what

2.4764 : 5/19/18 : 7

Seven years

and I can puzzle

over which

effort to rise

above

ended up in what ditch

and different's

the same

change means nil

I can puzzle

over which

dry swallowed bitter pill

what

2.4763 : 5/18/18 : Murder Mill

The murder mill

then the news machine

and nobody

will ever ever

get out clean

people stop talking about

that thing called change

it was only a rumor

and we've all turned strange

nobody wants to think

where we hit the twist

all feel we might be

culpable

and dream no

answer but

a clenched fist

what

2.4762 : 5/17/18 : Taking It

Mad as hell

and taking it daily

protesting frailty

under a spell

worth achievement

what will fulfill

the fear nothing will

hold off the bereavement

on pins and needles

one spun off the cuff

made of sterner stuff

and pitch forward heedless

what

2.4761 : 5/16/18 : Glutted

Glutted on the

quick fix of the wire

it'll all come to nothing

the opposite of inspire

hard to feel the chance

of a reckoning

reversal or correction

and nothing much is beckoning

what

2.4760 : 5/15/18 : Plank

Never know

if the next step

is walking the plank

Here I go

anyway

likely breaking the bank

well it's felt

pretty tapped

not much like getting there

all on edge

waiting to step

and only feeling air

what

2.4759 : 5/14/18 : Get Ahead

And now I think I see my chance

toe get ahead of the game

that I know is an illusion

but I chase it just the same

and if I do each thing just right

somehow pans out to the same

There's no ahead because there's

nothing but the game the game the game

While I cling to hope like a crazy hoarder

to think we used to laugh about the new world order

never imagined it could get so dumb and mean

to think I used to think I served the truth machine

that's enough that's where

I put my foot on the chalk mark

you better believe I will soliloquy

fall back before resolve so stark

In some sense I have stayed

one step ahead some way somehow

I'm hardly tearing up the scene

yet I've made it up to now

what

2.4758 : 5/13/18 : Sleeper

For a hot minute got fired up

to go deeper

Plumb those hidden depths

the real summer sleeper

but while I toiled, the depths

sank out of sight

Left with the obvious

Call that the usual plight

Briefly sought a rhythm

briefly thought a rhyme

but I only get to work

what I've got

when it's time

and so so seldom

find a real refrain

and the sleeper slumbers hidden

the conclusion is plain

but I won't disdain

say I failed the mark

however small however lodged

in the deepest crack I fan the flame

what

2.4757 : 5/12/18 : Bearing

Can I relate

to the crushed

ball bearing

can't you read what I wrote

on the cuff I'm wearing

shot from the sleeve

where I'm wearing my heart

and so crazed I almost

think I'm ready to start

what

2.4756 : 5/11/18 : Into

Not into it

not up for it

expect no one

to raise a cup for it

Say it's not my fault

but if not whose

and I'm giving up on it

I can't see what I'd lose

what

2.4755 : 5/10/18 : Go On About

Far from every

grinding impulse

heart brooding

and drums a grim pulse

and the last thing

I want to go on about

Better just screw down this mood

before it turns a rout

what

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

what

2.4753 : 5/8/18 : Invasion

Going to double down

on this sheepish invasion

if the teacher appeared now

it would feel like an invasion

and the scholars are debating

this old dog's capacity

while I still haven't developed

much reputation for sagacity

what

2.4752 : 5/7/18 : Stitch

I can beat that

after the seven year itch

useless as an aristrocrat

and this retrospect's a stitch

what

2.4751 : 5/6/18 : One Stroke at a Time

Realistic progress

not a gripping yarn

but it's the game for us mostly

from the boardroom to the barn

from the field to the factory

the increment

the only downside gawping

at how all the time just went

I can't plead ignorance

not at my age

there's just the daylight

what I get down on the page

oh how I try to take it

all just one stroke at a time

piling little progress up

while I'm still in my prime

what

2.4750 : 5/5/18 : Slack Star

Damn it but I can't stop

working too hard

damn me I've got no slack

Times got too tough

for a working bard

now I'm hip deep in the muck

Try to figure if it's working

out oh try to justify

but I'm not on the side of angels

try to figure if I bought in

to the big dumb lie

and try to find different angles

I can't stop picking

at the seams

trying to tear through to where You are

I can't give up quite

on such foolish dreams

grind my way to being the Slack Star

what

2.4749 : 5/4/18 : Routines

The routines all cost

and the point gets lost

in the repetition

no object no mission

am I not entertained

kapow get brained

I think it's weird enough

and it's got way past tough

what

2.4748 : 5/3/18 : Deez Nuts

Alla deez nuts

aint' gonna stop burning

alla deez nuts

ain't gonna stop yearning

You want a solution

for the typical yutz

you gotta contend

with alla deez nuts

go try to fool them

nuts get wiley

get them in the feels

nuts just get smiley

preach like an angel

hear LOL butts

you gotta contend

with alla deez nuts

don't know if they're

the sickness or symptoms

mostly not villains

mostly not pimp bums

lotta cheap johns though

and I'm such a putz

still thinking I can talk

to alla deez nuts

what

2.4747 : 5/2/18 : Hand Over Hand

How to retrack

kick the inertia back

How to revise the tool

though I'll look a bit the fool

I tried hand over hand

the one foot two foot

kick off the dust

still shuffling in the soot

what's this routine about

just trying to get faster

because time is spilling

and I'm rarely my own master

what

2.4746 : 5/1/18 : Break

During this brief break

from the avoidance

Guess I'll discharge

this momentary annoyance

can't summon at the moment

the can do spirit

neither come to terms

with this garbage I inherit

that's no dichotomy

that's a stinking monopole

should maybe pick another hour

if something different is my goal

what

2.4745 : 4/30/18 : A Bird

Maybe not a spark

or a shaft of light

maybe not a surge

in a spot so tight

Maybe it's stunned

and tiny: a bird

and the last thing it needs

is for me to say a word

a little sustenance

a little tlc

I know its destiny

to fly away from me

do I follow it then

or live off the memory

learn the lesson

it ain't all about me

what

2.4744 : 4/29/18 : Grip

Getting a grip

but on what exactly

do I have strength to pull up

before what's coming down

Smacks me

back to the next

setback always in the chamber

Who's tugging on the trigger

I could but I won't name her

sickness recedes

but leaves an ever darker stain

When the sickness is gone

what exactly will remain

I'd like to think

the bones of a higher order

not so optimistic

but hell

I'm only a recorder

what

2.4743 : 4/28/18 : Fooled

Fooled by an idea

in my head

thought to have done

did nothing instead

Flip the counter

back to nothing, flat

just when I don't want to

ger a second at bat

what

2.4742 : 4/27/18 : American Dream

The time tripping

isn't building confidence

we've been around this

track a good few times

Still nowhere near

jumping the fence

and maybe I should

just embrace my lame-o

day to day

believe the hype

American dream

Lotta people

getting rich that way

a lot more

getting poor

but hey winners

need losers

make an argument

convince me

I don't belong with

these confusers

what

2.4741 : 4/26/18 : Hurly Burly

Nothing haunts

the empty belfrey

Safe to say

You'll never tell me

do I want

to get up early

beat the traffic

hurly burly

No I do not

but I can't conceive

if all this bullshit walked

what wouldn't leave

what

2.4740 : 4/25/18 : Hand and Neck

Try not to see portents

in my hand and neck

just this aging body

just hurts like heck

One small comfort gives me

it's a good excuse

hope to sleep this vise off

And tomorrow be more use

what

2.4739 : 4/24/18 : Right Question

The right question

will come to me

like a bird like a ray

unbidden

In the depth of dream

in the mire of work

all revealed that

once was hidden

I will know it when

it is on my lips

but I'll hold it

I won't ask it

till the perfect time

and the perfect place

the great riddle

I'll unmask it

what

2.4738 : 4/23/18 : Talk Back

Should I talk back

rather just get out

not a speck

of interest in yak yak

there's no discourse

just dueling rhetoric

and me silently

praying to get off the stack

for my sins

I got competence

and a big square hole

someone else, the hammer

I need to lock down

get to real planning

If I've ever going to get

out from under of this yammer

what

2.4737 : 4/22/18 : Narrative

Dream to take control

of the narrative

and wrestle it away

from the tired refrain

not this time

around it seems

but tomorrow

I might catch that train

but I don't know

how the next story goes

and maybe that's

the real tale

the devil you know

and the details

where he dwells

where it always

goes off the rail

what

2.4736 : 4/21/18 : Gala

The songs spun

and the dancing was done

won't fix the world

But in a little patch we won

I'll take my uplift

Where I find it

The gala earned its name

and tonight

the rest I don't mind it

what

2.4735 : 4/20/18 : Just

I just I just

what do I want

all the things

I'll never see

the list it grows

and most of all

all that

I'll never be

what else to say

we're all the same

soon no

more new

soon no

name

what

2.4734 : 4/19/18 : Clock Boss Fight

The clock's the boss

I always lose the fight

find myself

with every fading night

drag it a little

crossing lines

the clock boss

rich with trips and mines

I could still

beat it tonight

a temporary switch up

in the clock boss fight

and all it takes

is just to let got

tomorrow is tomorrow

and time will show

what

2.4733 : 4/18/18 : Patience

Find a way to a

new way to measure

patience in burden

a lesson a treasure

try to believe that

here toiling under

is striking the path

not the lash for some blunder

I'm not very good

at waiting in strength

self possession

Somehow at some length

Maybe my coin will turn

patience will flower

and settle with this stone

and unlock its power

what

2.4732 : 4/17/18 : Nails

The random

stupidity

has got me

spitting nails

and in its glare

for once

my persistence

fails

what

2.4731 : 4/16/18 : Picture Inside

However to resolve

the picture inside

how I need a model

change this ride

or is it the inside

that needs the changing

acceptance realism

no more estranging

the as it is

and how it comes

but the picture inside

will not admit these sums

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

2.4729 : 4/14/18 : Old Trismegistus

Always winter

never Christmas

is this dark spring going to be

the end of old Trismegistus

I'm heavy on fed up

and weak on lore

and my foresight's all fouled

no idea what's in store

the view from the radar

is totally whack

and the digging out

is like to give me a heart attack

what

2.4728 : 4/13/18 : Sudden Darkess

Due to sudden darkness

and this winter that won't break

this lonely couplet

is just what you'll have to take

what

2.4727 : 4/12/18 : Call and Call

The place of rest

the living stream

this dark world's light

it's not a meme

feel far away

from that I've called

the truth for me

myself forestalled

I put on hold

not yet not yet

A little more

dark I bet

and every night

I need it more

and call and call

thou wouldst restore

what

2.4726 : 4/11/18 : Scrambling

Hard to look graceful

tubby

and scrambling

if I had the

fuck you money

I would can it

be ambling

stomp brakes

on the fantasy

real time only

in line for

a new gig

at least I'm not

lonely

what
