Homage to My Hips

these hips are big hips.
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little
petty places. these hips
are free hips.
they don't like to be held back.
these hips have never been enslaved,
they go where they want to go
they do what they want to do.
these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.
i have known them
to put a spell on a man and
spin him like a top

You've got the goods. You have value. The world is a friendly place. People have familiarity with you and positive. Expecting it will go well and assuming it will go great. Superior qualifying inner beliefs. Core chemistry and attraction being exposed. Why is it I'm coming across like this? Maybe my beliefs are off. Get present in the moment (awareness out here) and you've got a lot of bandwidth.      I have nothing to say and it drove me crazy. No story or focused on your past.
