Mr. Floyd

by Alison McKenzie

Sometimes I feel
Like a talentless Pink Floyd
Piece of work
Minor keys
But they don’t progress
In any predicatable order
Sad, dark words
Except the underlying meaning of mine
Are worn out
On my sleeve
I beg passing strangers to read them
Hoping that someone will take them home
Play them under the influence
Of some heart-altering substance
And love me
Despite what I’ve just said

Oh yes! One of my all time favorite bands as well! A great poem that reveals the pain it takes to piece together the art that is in front of us, yet scattered. Great read :-)

Well, I am not aware of the band you have mentioned herein but I can see hopes in hopelessness. And somehow I feel good about it despite the sadness this piece seems to be reflecting.
