Larissa’s response to Kelly’s plane poem from last week (NO SHADE cause we love an international jetsetting queen!!!)


Globeleza 2015: confira a vinheta do Carnaval on Make a GIF

You think I live in this Brazil ☀️🌴⚽️💃🏾 but I live in this Brazil 🌧🌾🤬👵🏻

Cause if you ask
“If you’re from Brazil then why 
Are you white?” 
Have to ask if you even know how to
Samba around colonialism slavery
Genocide don’t look so surprised you 
Don’t have a monopoly on that 
Shit swallow the facts: a copa do mundo 
É nossa e Deus é 
Brasileiro so what’s left if not your devil-
Ish fear of our favela zica gunpowder mosquitoes bite
Wherever you like cause we were made for 
Good cuts of meat skewered do you want to order 
For a dessert may I suggest the crowd 
Pleaser “we love Brazilian women butt
Only the adventure of how dichotomies 
Work Newton’s law when I go  
Up we gonna get down and
Dirty” you worry bout potential jungle 
Between there Discovery channel don’t 
Fret that soy you need waxing trees 
Bald just how you like it juicy
Highway bunches bananas in string
Bikinis filled with deliciously wet
Lands you want a taste for
Sure a little afraid of our man-
Groves once you see you will take too
Many #exotic pics like you can’t even 
Know that there’s wifi cashews 
Are a fruit Google it you will 
Be super surprised while 
At it look up operations
“Condor” and “Brazilian butt lift” 
Yourself out of fantasy.

Seriously, poetry prompt for this week is to Google: “Operation Condor”, “School of the Americas”, and “CIA backed coup 1964 Brazil”.

beijoooooos

-Larissa

Powerful dropping of some eye-opening thoughts. My dad came from what once was a Dutch colony, and it always surprised me how little of that I learned in Dutch school, only to realize later, even before Google, that some things are, according to some people, best not emphasized. And the lack of emphasis leads to rot. Because, well, hello reality. And oh, you did not know reality existed? Well, that does not make it all good all of a sudden.

Great writing. It calls for thinking out loud. Just did that. Sorry.
