“She does not know her beauty. She thinks her brown body has no glory.
If she could dance naked under palm trees
and see her image in the river she would know. But there are no palm trees in the street
and dishwater gives back no images.”

Do you hear the swallows when they've flown ?”

“If everybody knew what they wanted, there'd be nothing, nothing left. People would do what they wanted, and there'd be no government.
If everyone knew what they wanted. if everyone knew what they wanted, people would see with clarity and there’d be no suffering.”
“Sleep, man, and you might wake up digging the whole
human race giving itself three days to get out. Tomorrow is a drag pops, the future is a flake.
We cough blood on this earth.
Now there’s a race for space.
We can cough blood on the moon soon. Tomorrow’s dragsville, cats.
Tomorrow is a king size drag.”

At seventeen

“I learned the truth at seventeen, that love was meant for beauty queens
and high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
who married young and then retired. And those of us with ravaged faces
, lacking in the social graces, desperately remained at home
inventing lovers on the phone.
It was long ago and far away, the world was younger than today
when dreams were all they gave for free
to ugly duckling girls like me”

"Have you waited so long, 'Til your unheard song has stripped away your very soul ? Well then, believe it my friend that this silence will end, we'll just have to get guns and be men."
“Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?”

“My back is strong, strong enough to take the pain inflicted again and again. My name is AUNT SARAH.
Between two worlds I do belong. My father was rich and white, he forced my mother late one night. My name is SAFFRONIA
My hips invite you, my mouth like wine, whose little girl blue am I? Anyone who has money to buy. My name is SWEET THING
My manner is tough. I'll kill the first mother that messes with me, my life has been much too rough. I'm awfully bitter these days because my parents were slaves. My name is PEACHES”
