Emporia Noir


EMPORIA NOIR

Kansas possesses a noir magic—
since it’s exhausted its own future 
and is thus free of time. 

Anything erected there—
a city, courthouse, a store
stands outside of time 

It's no coincidence that— 
ghost towns emerge from this 
aura of midwestern noir

The Flint Hills Mall and—
Wal-Mart killed downtown
Decay has set in
