Get Down, Make Love

Soundtrack dry run, skirt-around outing, feedback feed-off phantasmagoria. Pornography in daylight can only work if there's mention of what can't be done first. Or how you change the subject beside the inground pool.

In center channel X, the special tense of Fuck Talk. Used as something is happening, the future infinitive present. It’s happening now. Tell your partner to keep doing it, to do it, period. Do that. Keep doing that. Right there.

So you've got that tautology going for you. Which is nice.
