Is it too late to say I wanna be solange when I grow up?

So I just remembered this time when Dr. Juan Carlos Galeano came to my class and he talked about how amazonian people view life. He said “You know we spend our lives compartmentalizing everything we see, feel, touch, encounter, or know. Anything in our whole life. Artists and poets try to break those boundaries. For amazonians they never existed.”
MORE LIKE BLACK KEYS FRIDAY
HAVE YOU EVER STIRRED THE CREAM IN WITH A LONE TEASPOON
OR ASKED THE STEAMING KETTLE WHY HE STEAMS
CAN YOU DRINK WITH ALL POSHNESS OF THE BRITISH
CAN YOU PAINT WITH ALL THE COLORS OF THE TEA
CAN YOU PAINT WITH ALL THE COLORS OF THE TEEEEEAAAAAAAAA
YOU THINK THE ONLY TEA CUPS WHO ARE TEA CUPS
ARE THE TEA CUPS WHO HOLD A DEEP DARK BREW
BUT IF YOU DRINK LIGHT ORANGE TEA OF STRANGERS
YOU’LL TASTE THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEVER KNEW
HOW DARK CAN THE ORANGE PEKOE GROW
IF YOU POUR IT NOW, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW
AND YOU’LL NEVER STIR THE CREAM IN WITH A LONE TEASPOON
FOR WHETHER WE LIKE BLACK, OR HERBAL GREEN
WE MUST DRINK WITH ALL THE POSHNESS OF THE BRITISH
WE MUST PAINT WITH ALL THE COLOURS OF THE TEA
YOU CAN OWN THE LEAVES AND STILL
ALL YOU’LL OWN IS LEAVES UNTIL
YOU CAN PAINT WITH ALL THE COLOURS OF THE TEA
I have just witnessed the most glorifying post in the history of tumblr.
This is the best thing I have seen ever.
i pity he
who’s chin
is not fruitful.
the bearded man
quiets the riotous
feminist in my chest;
suddenly,
i want to watch him
lift large objects,
operate heavy machinery,
cook naked.
i long for the brush
of his majestic scruff
‘cross my tender cheeks,
a kiss with a tickle
and scratch,
the warmth that i cannot
(unfortunately)
supply myself.
