[Dragaera] Seventeen Steps...

[Johne Cook]

I would have guess Yendi, but then that wouldn't be obvious, then, would
it?  ; )

"(I woke up thinking about Turkish drummers
It didn't take long - I don't know much about Turkish drummers -
But it made me think of Germany and the guy who sold me cigarettes
Who'd been in the Afghan secret police
Who made the observation
That "it's hard...
...To live"

Then I was reminded of the proprietor of a Vietnamese restaurant in Quebec
who used to be head of the secret police in Da Nang - and it occurred to me
I was thinking about all this stuff to keep from thinking about something
else... Isn't that just what secret police are all about???)"
