What are you doing in my house?
What do you want?
They flashed badges.
He said,
That don’t mean shit.
They laughed
Oh yes, it does,
And you are in it.
They produced a photograph.
When did you last see this man,
Mister?
I have not seen him in some time.
They took out an old, rolled-up piece of
paper.
And you signed this?
He read,
Genocide is among the American crimes,
and we petition the nation to atone.
He looked at this for a long time.
Yes. I signed it. You know that.
Why are you here?
Your teacher wrote a book, too, didn’t he?
He said, Yes. Then, not a bad book,
either.
Well, he’s in jail, your teacher.
He was a faggot Commie spy.
I bet he made out with you.
You, with your cute round ass.
Yeah. That’s why you signed this
garbage.
