STRASBOURG, THE KNOCK, KNOCK STREET
IN DETROIT, IF YOU DRIVE DOWN STRASBOURG STREET, YOUR CAR WILL

STREET WITH HER HEAD KNOCKING AGAINST THE CAR DOOR UNTIL SHE WAS
DEAD.

STEAL NOT THIS BOOK FOR FEAR OR SHAME,
CAUSE YOU KNOW CYNTHIA COLEMAN IS NOT YOUR NAME,

AND WHEN YOU REPLY, "I DO NOT KNOW,"
GOD WILL SAY, "TO HELL YOU GO".
