Ai (poet) Quotes

3 Sourced Quotes

Again and again, I play memory games
in the casino of the past.
Yes, half a chance,
I'd do it all the same.

Ai

Memory is a highway,
where a car is speeding into the sunset.

Ai

I know the difference between
what it is and what it isn't.
Just because I can't touch it
doesn't mean it isn't real.
All I have to do is smash the screen,
reach in and take what I want.
Break out of prison.
South Central homey's newly risen
from the night of living dead,
but this time he lives,
he gets to give the zombies
a taste of their own medicine.
