The Modern Day Witch

I have seen a woman froth Christianity and the whites of her eyes flash when an unassuming inch of doubt trickles through the cracks of an Evangelical facade She has no bend, no sway under Biblical pretenses and, you know, It's magick She flies through the air in the metal belly of a bird, can even tell you what tomorrow's weather will be reason enough to burn in America's yesterday same as any garden variety witch But airplanes, televisions, and radiowaves are now household parlour tricks safely tucked away in the idolatry of science
