“I'm not guilty. You're the one that's guilty. The lawmakers, the politicians, the Colombian drug lords, all you who lobby against making drugs legal. Just like you did with alcohol during Prohibition. You're the one who's guilty. I mean, c'mon, let's kick the ballistics here: ain't no Uzi's made in Harlem. Not one of us in here owns a poppy field. This thing is bigger than Nino Brown. This is big business. This is the American way.” WayMeanMadeBigsLordFieldsLike YouPoliticianDrugBiggerAlcoholGuiltyKicksBrownProhibitionBig BusinessHarlemPoppiesNot GuiltyLawmakersBallistics Author:Wesley Snipes
“If I begin a poem, "I am a donkey," reason kicks in and says, "She is taking on the persona of a donkey." But if I write, "I have taken so many drugs I can't see my feet," the tendency is to take that as a confession on the part of the poet. Maybe that doesn't matter. I'd almost prefer for it to be the other way round.” IfsWayWritingI CanMatterReasonTakenFeetPoetDrugRoundsTendenciesKicksConfessionPersonaDonkey Author:Matthea Harvey
