I marvel about many strange things that would normally not cross the minds of others. I am fascinated with thoughts such as what would happen if you put a big red button in the middle of a crowded shopping mall with a sign that read, "Do Not Press". I wonder how long it would take someone to walk by and not be able to resist pressing that big red button, gleaming curious temptation. Then, what would that person do if an innocent bystander seemed to drop dead the very second that the red button was pressed... hmmm, how I wonder.
However, my moments of wonder, fascination, or perhaps it is intrigue, never cease. I wonder what the overtired and overworked passengers of the Friday morning peek hour train would do if a ninety-year-old couple suddenly felt the urge to lock their naked bodies to each other whilst on the vinyl seats. What would the onlookers do? Then a somewhat satisfied thought flashes across my mind; maybe if I never get to witness this, perhaps one day I could be that elderly woman on the train.
My mind drifts to such thoughts far too often, probably more than the average person who honestly does not have that much time to procrastinate. Nevertheless, tonight my mind is overloaded with wonderment, entrenched in a fantasy of desire. Rather than sit here lost in my thoughts, I figured that I would attempt to clarify this state of mind, as strange and alien as it may seem to whom ever should read it.

Tonight I sat at my laptop, in my usual spot reading another agonisingly long theoretical text. As tired as I am of reading theories I still plug along, knowing that at the end of this journey I will sit by a fire, one that consumes every excruciating textbook that will never be used as a resource; Oh, what a blissful day that shall be!
Secretly, I would rather be working on my book. The holidays had only seemed to stall its progression with the frustration of that sometimes-inevitable 'writer's block'. Despite my overactive imagination and my uncanny ability to visualise details, I have been lost within the direction of my tale. My mind drained from over analysing every detail. Adding to this strain is the awareness that my thoughts need to be with the theoretical texts that enslave me.
My tired, weary eyes begin to blur the words on the screen. As they swim into a mass of incomprehensible blubber, my laptop chimes at me, informing me that I have a message. The unexpected musical interruption is enough to break my mind ache. Pressing alt tab, I investigate the source of the tidings. Excitement pounds every sense in my body as I promptly realise the identity of my correspondent. This creature is not only the source of messages, but also the source of intrigue, and a damn fine way to procrastinate.
His words travel through to my screen and seize my interest. His deviate demeanour and tendency to be exceedingly enticing only draws me in further. I inspect his lips. My minds insistence at being imaginative entices me to feel their softness and taste the mint toothpaste against his saliva. It is always mint, fresh and new, reminding me that he is fresh and novel to me.
A fancy of touch compels my mind. A sense that his warm skin is under my finger tips, gliding across his pelvic bone and tensed muscles. I begin to lose my inhabitancy within reality. He materialises on my bed, lying back staring at the rotating ceiling fan. My hands run through the trail of hair on his stomach, trying not to rush downwards, but rather appreciate the textures that he consists of.
Pressed against his side I can feel the increasing temperature of his body urging me to explore him in more detail. It beckons me and obediently, as if bewitched by his presence, I lower my lips to his stomach to savour him. A slight salty taste amplifies my thirst. His hand rests on the back of my head, fingers tangled in my hair, encouraging me to drink until I am completely intoxicated. Who am I not to comply with my own imagination?
