Can I offer the holding of my hand?
Just don’t ask me how I am
I’ll let you kiss my lips.
Just don’t ask me how I am
You can touch me from here to there.
Just don’t ask me how I am
Is it sex you want?
Just don’t ask me how I am
I’ll scream your name during our love-making.
Just don’t ask me how I am
Call me when you’re lonely, I’m okay with that, too.
Just don’t ask me how I am
(See, I told you. 😀 ) Less talk. More action. That’s who this woman is in all walks of life. A woman who isn’t great at communicating. ..an enigma, of sorts, I guess you could say.

Audith! It’s odd how we’re alike. I always prefer talking about someone else’s life and problems. Just leave mine go! This was a vicious poem. I liked it.

It makes me smile everytime we discover something we share, Duke. Maybe I’m a man. 😆 Yes, all of my friends say I am impossible to know completely. I suppose my fear is when someone asks me how I am, then that means they may want to know all of me. And that is huge…a well of dadblamery as you put it.
Thank you, Duketh! Vicious…yeah she may be taking over.

Personally, I think that’s just fine. Audith a man? Nah. I’d say it was perfectly normal even for a woman. You see, if the professor is perfectly normal for a man, that is.
