Psong 55
cO Money, I am nervous. dMy friend has been assassinated.
2He was eating in a esmall restaurant, and a car came round the corner spitting fmachine-gun fire.
3My friend is dead, and gI am on the lam.
4I am dismayed: No one knew of his whereabouts except for myself, and my beautiful, precious hbella amore!
5iHow could this terrible thing have happened? How could my friend have allowed himself to be caught off guard in this careless fashion?
6jO Money, look out for me. I have many of your children with me in my satchel, and I beseech you not to desert me in some capricious way.
7O Money, are you listening? Are you going to take care of me?
8kI hope so, O Money. I hope so.
