• I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long...

  by what is false.

  the invisible through which
  we see ourselves finally
  on a back street in the world.

• Every day I watched how a bare metal frame, rolling down the line would come off the other end, a spanking brand new car. What a great idea! Maybe, I could do the same thing with my music.
