Tantalizing feet restless against the vaguely blue mattress. But that’s only how everything starts. Always. What would be the primary thought when mainstream thoughts have evaporated only to make room for the pleasing ones? Would it be genitalia? Or maybe a face? Or maybe a magazine cover? No. Would it be the liquid sensation of what one desires in one special day…like no other.
This day is repeating endlessly. It’s what one asks for. On a daily basis. To choose between now and tomorrow has never been this hard. Pleasure should come today, but is it as pristine a quality as if it lasted endlessly? To choose a face or a body? To choose a mind or my body? For now, this person succumbs to the white vastness which meets the eye.
Trouble has never come as something threatening, because one has to develop from it. But this time around, trouble is more than just what one would qualify as a one-night stand. Trouble is what meets your eye, and is inescapable. Better yet, if the venue [of trouble] were a club, with music bursting our ears, if the venue were the fostering house of liquid pleasures, well, now you know… What would come afterwards? The dance is something well-encouraged by the venue; dancing can usually be intense, but this time around it’s only a matter of synching the participating minds. And so, this person would go around making something unforeseeable be foreseeable. Just for one moment, just for one second. The magic isn’t magical anymore, and the faces grow dim as the dawn becomes brisk. It’s a one night stand you thought you’d rely on. But it ain’t the biggie anymore. It ain’t what you wanted and there’s nothing you want anymore. It’s you, yourself and… who else?

Remember when you enjoyed holding hands? Remember when the passion was what you’d preach for? Remember you still didn’t believe in love? Remember this…
Walk closely to the person you thought you’ve given birth to.
“You are more important to me than my family,” is what you hear.
“You cannot say this. Your parents are the most important thing you have – they have always been there for you. On the other hand, the rebirth is something you chose yourself, hence you should thank your own self.”
“I understand you don’t understand what I feel, and I don’t blame you. You as well represent my choice.”
Okay then. There you go: smiles. Smiles everywhere. Now I would be willing to accept this. Accept it over the sip of a cocktail. Accept it and step with the right foot forward. Put on the loose, silky Chloé shirt, a high-waisted pencil skirt, add that ponytail look. Then make the lips the color of fuchsia and be ready to move on. On, on, to the next one.
