A feminine person with blue eyes and pale skin with a septum piercing wearing jean shorts and a black halter top smokes a cigarette while sitting on a wooden porch with their leg crossed

Not thrilled that I have to exist through and comprehend the utterly absurd shitshow day to day has become

At least I'm hot sometimes, I guess?

I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass, you take of my beard, breast, hands, in return,

I am not to speak to you, I am only to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone,

I am to wait,
I do not doubt I am to meet you again,

All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,

You grew up with me, you were a boy with me, or a girl with me

I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only,

To a Stranger
Poem by Walt Whitman

Passing stranger! You do not know how longingly I look upon you,

You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking (it came to me as of a dream,)

I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks.

Joy Reid nailed it.
