jane your money or your life? you would probably pick your life but most thieves take the money instead. maybe identity thieves take your life instead but that’s really just for the money. i would like to see an identity thief who takes just your diaries and your dreams and just wants to find a new way. he is tired of stealing. he wants to be a new self who doesn’t steal.

geoffrey have you had iced coffee? it’s so bitter. i don’t like the taste of iced coffee. they didn’t have iced tea so i got iced coffee. iced tea tastes like eggs to me but i get it anyway. i want to be known as the kind of guy who likes iced tea. but i don’t want you to think i’m the kind of guy who likes iced coffee.

pat i am wearing compression socks right now. if i keep them on my feet i feel like they will become diamonds throughout my life. maybe when i am eighty i can sell my diamond feet to deliver my children to a better future. it’s the least i can do for them. i hope they don’t get cut up into smaller diamonds but i guess that’s not in my control now.

robert what if i could see one second into the future? not even a superpower, just my brain perceived the world faster than yours? or anyone’s? would it be a skill i could use to be a market trader? could i stop crimes? or would i be forever trapped in my own future sent into exile in a world of those who exist a second behind me? forced into the past. maybe my brain has compensated to shield me from loneliness.

marcus i have found a problem with my million dollar idea. i have realized it will not earn me a million dollars like i had planned. at this rate i am not even sure that i will earn any dollars at all. you know what they say about the best laid plans well sometimes i guess also the worst laid plans don’t work out either. i wonder what a mouse’s best plan is? maybe he gets the cheese from the trap without getting trapped or maybe he doesn’t get eaten by the cat. it must be a real letdown when they fall astray.
Gucci Mane, letter to Marcus -
nat i called you last night but you didn’t answer. did you take the can out of your window? remember when you told me about your brother? i learned everything i have ever known about honesty from that conversation. maybe the line has been cut. maybe one day you will call me back and i will be there and i will come running to my window i will know you again. until then i will wait.

richard have you ever been hungry for bread? did you know you can buy yesterday’s bread for fifty cents? i am very hungry and i want nothing but bread. i do not think anything else will fill this hunger. but will yesterday’s bread be good enough? somebody did not want this bread so they picked another bread. but doesn’t all bread deserve love? maybe just by buying this bread and saving it from the shelf i will redeem it. by wanting it, i will make it wanted bread. yesterday’s bread will be today’s.
Gucci Mane, letter to Richard -
james i cupped a butterfly in my hands. i let it go. i figured it’d be happier if i didn’t keep it. not that i’m a bad guy or anything but butterflies probably are all into freedom. i would put out a bag of water or sugar or something. how long do butterflies live? maybe a few days. i guess if it lived with me, that would be a pretty significant part of its life. maybe even that time in my hands was a pretty major experience.
Gucci Mane, note to James -
gucci this letter is from you to me. did you see cirque de soleil yet?? i have always wanted to see that. there is the naked one in las vegas and i think that’s cool but also scary. everyone else there would know that they are seeing cool circus stuff but also peeping. you can’t pretend. it’s not like it was the only one there are lots of those cirques to choose from. but if you saw the naked one that’s cool too. both boys and girls are naked and i suppose that’s just the way it is. i wouldn’t want it to be any other way because then it would be even scarier. then it would be all peeps and no cirques.
Gucci Mane, letter to himself -
christina what kind of a name is “bugsy” or “bubsy” or “busby”? these are all cool names that nobody has anymore. i once knew a girl named “august” and that’s a cool name but it’s not like “bugsy.” ‘yes my name is bugsy and i also love termites!!’ everyone loves the summer but not everybody is bug crazy.
