When he toss to de right he does see de Waterfalls Boss Man; when he tun to de lef he does see Uncle Freddie. When he look up he does see Uncle Adam, not a pretty face to see in any dark night.
When de Big Man roll over and tun he face in de pillow he does see Henry de Yellow wid he Guyana passport open in he hand wid a cancelled visa and crying hard, hard, hard.
De Big Man does suck he teeth and try fuh look in de distance but he don’t get help. He does see Neil Marks, Julia, Moseley, Enrico, Haynes and Gaulbert.
