“I always make this case because I feel like my mom was part of a generation of people who [had] incredible gifts. There was no sweetening of vocals. There was no Pro Tools then. So I feel like people like her really shone because they were just so incredibly gifted and one of a kind. She was very revered for that reason and very well-respected. My mom was a special, cool lady.” — Maya Rudolph
Forever reblog. I love this!

I wrote a good omelet…and ate a hot poem…
after loving you
Buttoned my car…and drove my coat home..in the
rain…
after loving you
I goed on red…and stopped on green…floating
somewhere in between…
being here and being there…
after loving you
I rolled my bed…turned down my hair…slightly
confused but…I don’t care…
Laid out my teeth…and gargled my gown…then I stood
…and laid me down…
to sleep…
after loving you
These dudes here…
