“That cop," Fonny says, "that cop." "What about that cop?" But I am suddenly, and I don't know why, as still and as dry as a stone: with fear. "He's going to try to get me," Fonny says. "How? You didn't do anything wrong. The Italian lady said so, and she said that she would swear to it." "That's why he's going to try to get me," Fonny says. "White men don't like it at all when a white lady tells them, You a boatful of motherfuckers, and the black cat was right, and you can kiss my ass." He grins. "Because that's what she told him. In front of a whole lot of people. And he couldn't do shit. And he ain't about to forget it.”

“An airline gate agent confronted me and told me that I had to delete my video recordings I had made in the gate area or I would not be allowed to board the flight. I opted to keep my video recordings and they canceled my airline ticket. The videos I made became popular on social media and the advertising revenue more than paid for my replacement airline ticket on a much nicer airline!”

“I Thought, Thought, Thought, But *** I thought I would reach my destination Without obstacles: I thought I would overcome my opponents With tolerating and respecting: I thought I would win hearts and minds With smiling and honesty: I thought I would defeat evil-minded With angelic character: I thought I would execute peace With equality and justice: I thought I would embrace humanity With harmony and love: I thought I would become a hero With that moves: I thought my dreams would come true With truth and determination But ah, alas, When I awoke from a wounded dream I realized that My black hair had turned white My body features had caught wrinkles My years had disappeared behind the journey I stayed alone with my simplicity. My thoughts were only thoughts As a meaningless notion as hopeless my life.”
