Body Talk

(Sherilyn)
As I cruised gaily along the tempered path
welcoming the sweet smell of summer flowers
flowed in like elder flower champagne 
My consciousness is telling me that I'm not alone. 

The heavy boot marks trailing
spin fantasies in my dreamy head
Both: Ten steps to the crossroads, I was delightfully greeted
by a tall (pause to look at Sashi then look back at audience), not so tall, dark and handsome lad. 

Both: Ten steps to the crossroads, I was delightfully greeted
(pause)

(Sashi)
By a tall, slender, sassy lass

In a split second, the left masculine machinery took over,
Scanning target sir !
Target is healthy sir!
Target’s vertical altitude, surpass current capacity sir!
Horizontally is target within capacity? Privet?
Sir! Yes! Sir! Soldiers waiting to fire sir!
Roger! Proceed to explore terrain ….. my mind fired
I was blown away, when a gust of wind parted her hair to reveal her face
From analytic to intuitive my mind raced

She was of fair skin with husk of gold
With sweats of pearl on her face, she seemed like a flower in the morning dew
Her arms were like garlands, where my neck was the perfect fit.
Her gentle steps seems like a dance to the song of the evening mood.
As she came closer, I felt like ascending into heaven
For she was a Goddess, Aphrodite in sweat pants

Both: Ten steps to the crossroads, I was delightfully greeted
(pause)

(Sherilyn)
The echoing gestures emitting from my body
can be categorize into 3:
I like him, I love him and I want *middle finger*him 
There ain't no, physical, doubt about it
There ain't no, philosophical, doubt about it
(bites lower lip)
Petrified by the impending wanton pandemonium. 

Both: At the crossroads, I was delightfully greeted
(pause)

(Sashi)
I mustered my macho steps and broke the silence
 “Hi” (high-pitched voice)

(Sherilyn)
I took ten steps back (then walk off from stage)
  
(Sashi)
What the fuck was I thinking?
“Was there a unicorn in my mouth?” (high-pitched voice)
Hey, wait up! (addressing to Sherilyn) 
No time to say "thanks" guys! (addressing to the audience)
