2.4015 : 4/30/16 : Endurance

If I could make
an endurance
event
how long would it
take to catch up
how happy
I'd be to reach
to stretch up
and try to
snatch
that wisp
the essence of days
how truly would
I voice my
thanks and praise

what

2.4014 : 4/29/16 : Bare

Better with barely
a thought to spare
no future
no strategy
Palette bare
only if I could
dwell in this
neutral land
my exit hence
a paradox
you'll never understand

what

2.4013 : 4/28/16 : Jag

hardly strength
to express
jag jag jag
won't do nothing
but sneer
and slag

2.4012 : 4/27/16 : Flight

All things are made of flight
all variance is density
hail the lenses focusing time
remote in space hid in immensity
So is transmuted each desire
and I no longer know my own mind
poison seethes just underneath
my vampire teeth just pierced the rind
I envy the ones I put in place
I covet their clarity and call
a million cash and a thousand week vacation
got no answer to what if I won it all
beams cross at neither art nor science
heaped and fettered in the danse mundane
hey newest saint blow a kiss back
this acolyte is bowing in this rain

2.4011 : 4/26/16 : Battlefield

Rejoin the battlefield
half willing
dragged along
another 180 degrees
wasted
trolling this
digital song tra bong
painted up
knucklebones
go all the way bush
Waiting for a mission
getting softer
now the lethal push

2.4010 : 4/25/16 : Match

Trying to find the match
to strike
light this pile up
dope like an
electric bike
and hitch a smile up
it's easy riding
a friendly lie
and I'll meet a
holy match up
in every cast die

what

2.4009 : 4/24/16 : Zappy

Sometimes get zappy
I wrap it up all snappy
You know it ain't no mystery
Yeah first fan I service is me

2.4008 : 4/23/16 : Biggest Sword

Shake my stupid puny pointless fist
at King Entropy
Writing his hymn book for him
My own one true enemy
Reapers reap and scrapers scrape
Counters like me count up
bad seeds in my landscape
Today's fortune no guts no gusto
Only teacher waiting for me
Is Professor Bust-o
Back-paddle from that lesson
with all my strength
hoist up the mud-mixer's lot
sure, or any such length
Pursued no interest: so no talents
to lose for the Lord
Did you expect more from us
in the shadow of the biggest sword

2.4007 : 4/22/16 : At the Dust

Random disappointment
hardly think you could surprise
little things I write larger
as I narrow my eyes
at the dust in the way the winds blow
but at least I needn't put on a show

2.4006 : 4/21/16 : Spin

What will spin
from the box tonight
seen unseemly
sometimes set right
Still feel
I'm looking for
the wrong tree
next forest over
what's it mean
to me?
Spun thousands
more to come
this time leave it
little grey,
little glum

what

2.4005 : 4/20/16 : Fakes

Fakes and substitutes
messing up my
resolutes
the never agains
these foolishnesses
not quite sins
but just not to think
sooner or later
the feelings sink
and denial fails
and I'll be back on
those resolution
rails

2.4004 : 4/19/16 : Apprentice

Past too old
to be an apprentice
So never a master
oh well
never meant this
drab strip
had a slot
for me anyway
pull the
ripstop
catch wind
fly away
no teacher
no school
no vocation
that's cool

2.4003 : 4/18/16 : Slop

Is this just
a strut
a prop
holding up
a barrel of
slop
no one
wanted anyway?
and if you
knew it
would you say?

2.4002 : 4/17/16 : Zonbi

Still I can't get
enough
of these
shambling passed on
the meaning of
the Zonbi
first to last one
oh hell quick
come up with a
metaphor
the fucken enemy
is us
and we're at the
damn door

what

2.4001 : 4/16/16 : Hatch

Counting photons
each one a pin
the holes and baffles
that let the light in
probability
to fifteen decimal places
What do you suppose
he saw written
on their faces
could there truly be
one valid way?
Could anything else be?
how could I say?
dump pins in their millions
start from scratch
not a lot else to do
down this hatch

what

2.4000 : 4/15/16 : The Screw

Maybe then the screw
back a minute
Guess I've got to
be a bear and
grin it
up to all my
fellow desk pilots
all while I'm
cooking holy math
and dreaming riots
been long under the screw
My head feels too big
hardly half a ton of pressure
what the heck's
this gig?
Sure that soon enough
you'll dig it in the next round
and I'll scrap as always
till i get drilled in the ground

2.3999 : 4/14/16 : Tiny

I heard you dropped
a two line verse
they couldn't shut up
ready to call the hearse
me I got tiny
before it was cool
and I could even
take that cat to school

2.3998 : 4/13/16 : Crevice

What got lodged
in the crevice
nothing valuable
no reason to get nervous
never getting back
well that's canonical
just like the crevice
and its parables all ironical

what

2.3997 : 4/12/16 : Cookies

Eat every cookie
then down the wine
No stomach for it
So pickle me in brine
Who'll get the last laugh
wait and see
too bad for you
you won't know me

what

2.3996 : 4/11/16 : Pay Heed

Pay heed
no crux no creed
I'll have my answer
or by your name
I'll grab the pillars
of this game
if there's no victory
but the coat of Hercules
better than to
hand the keys to
such as these
