font choice makes for good conversation

it was monday after my new
job
walkthrough.

i came home to devins where i sat
and ate
and smoked a spliff.

I hopped hopped hopped
onto my bike and straddled it while attaching my
helmet
and discussing the
aliens quadrilogy with
my
brother.

we talked mainly of the fourth...
Resurrection.
an abomination.
not even very fun to watch.
and the music...

onto my bike and toward Pov's house
to help him in bottling
home-made beer,
a rhythm wavered into my mind and before i knew it i had my surroundings
playing to an internal track.

i pulled over and called
devin
in the hopes that i could hum it to him before it left or changed...
but he was in the garden and
could not hear the phone
over the new
Radio Head album which,
was nowadays almost
always on.

instead of leaving a silly message i pushed the right button
on my phone,
the sound recording button,
and began to whistle into the mic.

afraid of drawing attention to myself
i awkwardly got back onto my bike and continued my journey to pov's,
while whistling into my phone.

a methodical and slow almost trance like tune.
set to four four i think and simply going
Up
and
Down.
after a few cycles i
began straying from the repetitious beat
in an effort to
"take the tune somewhere"
i suppose.
though i suppose i was taking the tune to pov's house
wasn't i.

it got kind of meddled so i stopped.
but i got the good part.

my hope is that as foundation
devin can then evaluate,
elaborate,
extrapolate
something
musical out of it
that,
when played during a viewing
might just induce some kind of
mediation,
concentration or
infestation of
mood,
emotion
and
or
anything that
dwells deep within.

the inexplicable.
i suppose.
