A perfect smile on a pale face
entered a brief moment of euphoric bliss.
To heighten his desire, he stepped forward with a push and kiss
that set the wheel in motion,
to give his body and soul the warmth it wished.
The floor was now white and wet like the saliva on his chin.
It's an extravagant explicit experience;
its exasperating and utterly exhilarating.
So please, extrovert your perverse desire for
auto-erotic asphyxiation.
The rest later...
