in response to something mentioned by a friend




cyber notches

first brief pleasantries
then a quick shower of compliments
after the first dozen words exchanged
whether a new notch will be added is never clear

it is clarified by soft verbal responses
with subtle references to her own body
if replies have a smile attached
willingness and notches often follow

prospective notches like visual cues
glued to descriptions of clothes being removed
as the pile grows on the floor
fight or flight sets in ...

if fight: passionate kissing seems to surprise
forehead, ears, neck, warm lips
when allowed to kiss at will
the location of the notch on the belt may be considered

slow complete descriptions of her treatment
allow her imagination to take hold
and time for her to participate
convincing her to treat herself
two notches may be earned if she tries something new


if flight: [XXXXXXX has left the room]
