gideon jesus (Free verse) by herbgirlofbirkenau
This girl in the basement,
sheâs talking everything about nothing again
She makes my coffee taste fucking bitter.
But Iâm just glad for the company.
Guess you could say Iâm a little lonely.
Maybe I grew up just a little too fast.
All us saints, yeah, we sure do finish last.
My Jesus is on vacation
packed up his halo and left last Wednesday.
Just walked across the ocean.
Got center stage in a Hollywood promotion,
sellinâ paperback gideons to street kids for a quarter.
The revolution is here. Right now. Right there.
Thought I needed a break,
called home just to breathe.
the smog is thicker here,
but the mood is more pristine.
Itâs colder where Iâm living,
itâs almost the end of December.
and frankly, donât give a god damn if youâre better.
I think Iâll try to find Clinton Street.
Itâs been awhile since I heard the music..
