Lipton’s Journal/February 21, 1955/630

A few word echoes:

Negro. Knee-grow (Child, grow!)

Nigra. Ni as deny; gra God’s rah. As in rajah.

Nigger. Deny God, but still it’s god’s er.

Ferret. The fuck of er enraged into a thing. To ferret is to devote one’s life energies to uncovering a tiny buried thing.
