My Santiago
To be Cuban
To be Cuban, To be Afro - Spanish, is to embrace contradiction, In its many forms; To be wholly a Catholic, And also give oneself up to Santareia, To be gay and be communist; All in one!
But above all, To be Cuban, is to be loud, passionate and comfortable with contradiction; To not seek to rationalise, To make sense of, But to simply accept and be!
