some one is burning down a church

some one is burning down a church

A Poem by 9thstreetmatt
"

a reflection that never got finished. achoo. something to do with those crazy days in kansas

"

The end.   That was the beginning.                           The end.

            Drunk like the oceans

                       The end.

"some one is burning down a church"

this is a dismembered memory,

                        where men wore slacks and fought for eternity

sat ankles out, whiskey breath, humming thelonius,

talking with chicago jews about the undressed neighbor girl

and that sad saturday we all gave into the DMT

                    undressed sitting down on acrylic covered carpet

where s**t and philosophy played.

           Then only then the demonic hangovers created by weak will - rock a'billy records and tenth street watering hole

                  made telephone rings like whispers

"jordan is in new york"

         
                     "jordan is in new york"

The end

                was making love to all those women

          in her image

                                   and then flying to new york
