Additional quotes by Diane di Prima

NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us
shoving at the thing from all sides
to bring it down.

but don’t get uptight : the guns
will not win this one, they are
an incidental part of the action
which we better damn well be good at,
what will win
is mantras, the sustenance we give each other,
the energy we plug into

Left to themselves people
grow their hair.
Left to themselves they
take off their shoes.
Left to themselves they make love
sleep easily
share blankets, dope & children
they are not lazy or afraid
they plant seeds, they smile, they
speak to one another.
