Which beginning? Okay, since you be from Outside, I give you the whole thing. Sit over there, be comfort. Smoke em if you got em. They talk about these guys that come back from the Nam all fucked up and shit, and say they be like time bombs: they go along okay for years, then get a gun and just go crazy. But it don’t go nothing like that for me. Even though there be the gun involved, this time. And an actual murder, this time. First time I be in prison, after the court-martial, I try to tell them what it be and what they get me? Social workers and shrinks. Guy to be a shrink in a prison ain’t be no good shrink, what they can make Outside, is the way I figure it, so at first I don’t give them shit, but then I always get Discipline, so I figure what the hell and make up a story. You watch any TV you can make up a Nam story too. So some of them don’t fall for it, they go along with it for a while because this is what crazy people do, is make up stories, then they give up and another one come along and I start over with a different story.
