THAT’S WHAT YOU NEEDS
that’s what you needs
happen to Quentin while I’m gone
excuse to worry me again
said
on, smooth and bright
up and we ran down to the corner of the fence and watched them pass
nigger, I going to holler
dont want your hands froze on Christmas, do you
and the Fury
nigger, I going to holler
dont want your hands froze on Christmas, do you
that’s what you needs
happen to Quentin while I’m gone
excuse to worry me again
for Jason’s and the children’s sakes I was stronger
up and we ran down to the corner of the fence and watched them pass
right up stairs
you know
to go now, Luster said
have to
eat supper
said
on, les drink some more sassprilluh, then we can come back if you hush
up the kitchen steps, onto the porch, and Caddy knelt down in the dark and held me
nobody said me and T. P. got to mind you
down the hill
all stood up quick and stopped, then they splashed and fought in the branch
nobody said me and T. P. got to mind you
down the hill
to go now, Luster said

eat supper

up the kitchen steps, onto the porch, and Caddy knelt down in the dark and held me

the pillow
he couldn’t take a little joke
expect he’s forgotten about it
stairs and lay down
one
up
now
dont have to, will you let him hold it

now
dont have to, will you let him hold it
the pillow
he couldn’t take a little joke
expect he’s forgotten about it
fell up the hill, into the moonlight, and I ran against the fence and T. P. ran behind me saying “Hush up hush up”

through the wall
How will they know it’s Dilsey, when it’s long forgot, Dilsey, Caddy said
eat this cake, now, before Jason come
suppose anybody ever deliberately listens to a watch or a clock
One more time
us
now
dont shoot him first
away
now
dont shoot him first
through the wall
How will they know it’s Dilsey, when it’s long forgot, Dilsey, Caddy said
eat this cake, now, before Jason come
from her
us
right
years in school to learn to do that properly
