Born a Crime

something’s happening, but really
nothing’s happening at all. I was
out there every day from seven a.m.
to seven p.m., and every day it was:
How do we turn ten rand into
twenty? How do we turn twenty
into fifty? How do I turn fifty into a
hundred? At the end of the day we’d
spend it on food and maybe some
beers, and then we’d go home and
come back and it was: How do we
turn ten into twenty? How do we
turn twenty into fifty? It was a
whole day’s work to flip that
money. You had to be walking, be
moving, be thinking. You had to get
to a guy, find a guy, meet a guy.
