2.4626 : 1/1/18 : All Heart

Rather than
go on and on
about the fast-
then-go-slow
pay heed to
the hour
pedestrian I know
maybe how it
could get to a different start
pay heed
start small
and proceed with all heart

what

2.4625 : 12/31/17 : One In Thirteen

Seven years
so what does that mean
a tenth or twelfth
remains to be seen
One in thirteen
not sure that's the best case
this numbers game
and still don't feel
I've found my place
is that the note
I want to end on
even if it's just
an ordinary dot
but even after seven
years and longer
all I've got to give
is what I've got

2.4624 : 12/30/17 : Reveal

What did I call it?
reveal
none too likely really
or so I now feel
dream of deeper
secrets
but it's all a myth
and I'm not a
millimeter
closer to the pith

2.4623 : 12/29/17 : No Novelty

Just want to
lose consciousness
for as long as possible
no novelty
no bright ideas
Would do this fossil well
Get real
boring
do not a thing
maybe in
a dream float
up a thousand feet
and sing

what

2.4622 : 12/28/17 : ZAP

Every so often
get to just zap out
give it a rush
a holler, a rough shout
shake and a slap
hello world my dear
those as have ears
well you listen, you hear

what

2.4621 : 12/27/17 : Call Out

Another call out
to Lord Rigamarole
shone out the signal
to the owl patrol
those as would notice
must be my lowly squad
Force for peace in all things
spare every rod
Quell my violent spirit
ugly power dreams
playbook is tiny
against reams and reams
of dark designs
and wanting fast and loose
don't know if I'm getting there
but I've got no excuse

2.4620 : 12/26/17 : Recompense Revisited

Thinking is there
any sense
reckoning after
the recompense
I feel I must be owed
for this long denial
recompense revisted
surely I was inhibited
and such wasted blame
and still played the game

2.4619 : 12/25/17 : Do and Don't

These things I do
and these things I don't
wonder if I ever will
and what happens if I won't
try to find some conception
that doesn't sound like a stunt
familiar but still failing
every morning bears the brunt

2.4618 : 12/24/17 : Twas ever thus

Am I still propping up
the resolution
schtick
imaginary datelines
some counting trip
For sure a fake out
nothing in either
hand
well you said it was
ever thus
in the promised land

2.4617 : 12/23/17 : Back to Ground

Far from the only one
sick of the grownup run
Time got so tight and fast
afraid to ask
how long it will last
feels like the terminal
round
I'll never get back to
ground
unless I find
what's the name?
each cycle comes
to this same

2.4616 : 12/22/17 : Who

Call me what you like
just trying to get by
try to think of who
he would be that happy guy

what

2.4615 : 12/21/17 : Pledge

Must break this chain
right now
Leave the future
or another prow
the big picture
or any
promise or
pledge
to hell with and
leaving it all
piled up on the ledge

what

2.4614 : 12/20/17 : Attention

I'd be the first to admit
and the last two admit
because who else could be
paying attention to it
that the caper the plot
might sound good but it's not
got a budget or schedule
and already you hedge fool
I see where I put my attention
say I have to but fail to mention
never time left for plan I
if I'm counting right well am I
am I yet hopeless enough
to crack to break out for this slough

2.4613 : 12/19/17 : 12 Day

12 Day Countdown
big reveal
most clicked context
how will I feel
better start plotting
making lists
Count my chickens
and book those final trysts

2.4612 : 12/18/17 : The Master List

The monotony
forever in my heart
I know one thing
today I didn't start
the master list
the big to do
I blame it all
on the paycheck
but it's really down on me
and my stiff neck

2.4611 : 12/17/17 : Pin Drop

What's next
the pin drop
what failed
the Big Pop
what's right
not much son
half baked
and all done

2.4610 : 12/16/17 : Rapid Failure

Rapid failure
I don't care to explain
took a detour
on behalf
of the lower brain
if that's the
word for it exactly
at this point
I'm just acting

2.4609 : 12/15/17 : Old Time Hokum

Nothing much real
on the big screen these days
Feels like the fantasy is darker
just a cartoon anyway
Guess it's just the new time
version of the old time hokum
the bad boys grin and grimace
well they got 'em so they smoke 'em
and it aways wraps up
in lots of the flashy booms
but me I like the moody
interludes in quiet tombs
and facts that add up
choices that matter
Get drowned in the hokum
that's all hit and splatter

what

2.4608 : 12/14/17 : Thought Word

I need to break the
pattern
so bad
the world's gone
mean-angry
hateful
and mad
oh how to be
that change
we need
failing such in
thought word
and deed

2.4607 : 12/13/17 : Enjoy the Fantasy

Already mad
but will I ever get even
think about blowing up
think about leaving
Piss on my desk
Fly both free birds high
goodbye fellow fools goodbye
Enjoy the fantasy
While you may
Some seven hours hence
Sure enough another day
And I'm eating what I'm served
with a dead false smile
and that's all I'll have to say
for a while
