My Commerce

Should I want a mirror
Give me your eyes
Should I want to speak
Give me your ear
Should I want music
Give me your mouth
Should I want a gum
Give me your lips
Should I want to wash myself
Give me your tongue
Should I want a towel
Give me your hair
Should I need something to lean on
Give me your shoulder
Should I want a hookah
Give me your hands
Should I want a cigarette
Give me your fingers
That resemble Buddha’s hands
Should I get hungry
Give me your boobs
Should I want some salt
Season my tongue with your vagina
Should I get thirsty
Give me your uterus
I’ll nurse it
You’ll beget a child
And I’ll suck up all the milk out of your nipples
Should I want a cup
Give me your navel
Should I want a pillow
Give me the round cheeks of your butt
Should I want a blanket
Tuck all of your moles around me
