Hell 01:24
once in the night I was startled to see a hundred car train come down from the east let it pass by and go where it was for twenty miles I walked, well I'll walk some more and once in my life I was startled by joy it fit in my hand round and cold as a coin let it outside cause it cried by the door twenty years I lived, hell I'll live some more

well the sun was cold, alkaline morning creeping on the floor hadn't slept, I felt fine or about as finely as I felt before asked the walls how were they holding up they seemed surprised that I could talk love to stay and chat and such but it's getting early, I could use a walk went up drexel, cottage, king, and so through the city all squared and brown all the stop signs were sadly singing as I crossed the freeway to chinatown couldn't see myself in the glass of the store where they gave me a porcelain fish I was thinking that over when somebody asked hey friend, how long you been livin like this and he gave me his terrible coat and he shook it out good and he said I ought to get out of the city just the minute I could and I tried to give it back but he was up and he was walking away and he said you know it's better than nothin, not dirty just stained oh, not dirty, just stained suddenly noon, suddenly darkening a patch of snow, a thousand blocks only living people were looking for parking and the only place open was the Music Box they saw me walk in but nobody stopped me into the theater, crouched in the back waited an hour, the room filled softly projector flipped on, faded to black and there was a cave and a sky and a mosquito net there were ghosts who watched themselves watch tv on their hotel bed and when they went out into the night then I did the same only then did it occur to me I turned nineteen that day oh, nineteen years in a day well I found the place where they bake the bricks and where the trains run on the ground and where they split the filthy crick and the machine that makes the stars go out then pulled up the casino bus hop in, we've just been waitin on you so I took my seat, slumped to sleep and the ghosts on the freeway go two by two and I thought of what to say if I woke up and I found you there it's not like you're in the country but it doesn't hurt to be prepared guess you'd ask me how it's been and I'd say a person can't complain which is not the same as saying there are things that I would not change and I've been feeling not dirty, just stained

once I found some letters and I couldn't help but read em they were to the girl who slept here before I did wondered if she'd want em back or left em for a reason kept em in a book til I decided but damn me if I know which one, they're lost for all they're worth I just remember how the last one went it was written on a flier for the 1st Urbana Church of Scientology, and I'm not sure what that meant but it said let us go to Chicago let us be morose let us ride on plastic trains all day and outgrow all our clothes and as for those who loved us so they'll lie far behind but with any luck they'll give a fuck and come for us to find
