“FOR STEVE JONAS WHO IS IN JAIL FOR DEFRAUDING A BOOK CLUB

And you alone in Federal prison saying That the whole State is based on larceny

Christ who didn't know that, Steve?

The word steals from the word, the sound from the sound. Even

The very year of your life steals from the last one. So

Do you have to get put in jail for it?

Finding Yourself a martyr for a cause that you and your jury and your heartbeat all support.

All This crap about being a human.

To tell the

truth about our State.

So_

You would say-

It is better than going to Europe.”
