Inside Out (jaunty songs of depression I)
Today I woke, for the third time
replete with emptiness
and turned inside out.
It had started when some time ago
my eyes had rolled back in their slots
and had since glutinously gnawed
on my insides
with the persistence of a rat.
And when there was nothing
left to eat, my eyes shut
and threw me up
the wrong way out!
Friends - it is strange
but I tell you, i wear my heart
on my cage,
i try to balance my brain
on my head
but it is slippery
and sometimes it falls down with a squeak
like a rubber duck
and I have to haunch
down to pick it up.
Let's be honest, a rather funny sight.
And that wacky world where i walked -
that demanded so much grit
is now trapped inside of me,
attempted to be digested,
but only comes out as…well, you know.
And the villagers in there
call me the idiot.
But I don't care too much-
I have a story about a rat
that on emptiness became fat.
