Mostly black keys


I play in the key of E
I only just learnt recently
what that kind of means
it sounds sad
I'm not sure
whether that's a musicology rule
or a rule in me
I loop my forty second sad E melody
the amplifier eases it into the floor boards
sorrowfully

doo
doo
dee
doo
doo
du, du

I lay on my back on the floorboards
woven rug under me catching
it eases into me too
I close my eyes
satisfied with my
depression creation

doo
doo
dee
doo
doo
du, du

I am my own god, though not in my words
I am my own devil, though not in my words
for now
those I know, things i've seen
exist only in my melody

doo
doo
dee
doo
doo
du, du


the colour of triangle
that wouldn't be possible physically
makes perfect sense within my melody
my infected finger
my pulsing headache
I did them to myself
accidentally on purpose

doo
doo
dee
doo
doo
du, du

I re-watch my fleshy film strip
falls, fights, robberies,
hyper-super-extra-terrestrials
tactile-bulky-grey-date-in-time
blank-by-gin-car
fluorescent-by-mushroom-on-foot
fluff and dust, colourless not grey
not blank, just lots of it

doo
doo
dee
doo
doo
du, du

her eyes, his eyes
her briefs, his undies
within pop teenage shame
to adult hooded mess
shanking with pens
wanking with words
images mere porn
free range eggs
within range guilt felt
spotlight felt just isn't felt
essential oils
I don't remember how they smelt
is memory essential
lavender for sleep
I don't remember what I dreamt on the third
thyme for concentration
I can't remember that epiphany at three


doo
doo
dee
doo
doo
du, du

purple fucking bindii weed in my purple fucking toe
awkward eye contact / pass me off as rude
wishes it to not be such a statement to be nude
lovely fucking hippie please remember the fifties too
t-shirts
stink with me
so I can stink alone too

doo
doo
dee
doo
doo
du, du

berroca in the sign of cancer
i'll chew the whole tube
harmonica in the key of D
you don't make sense to E
kid on trumpet downstairs
you doo, doo, dee, doo, doo, du, du
loop pedal battery death
and E fades
and kid on trumpet stays
blerp
be
derp
rode on through
my depression creation
