Here on a hot sticky br summer night br our newly naked bodies br tanned and glistening br br sweating with the all-out effort br of a no-holds-barred pillow fight. br You are particularly vicious br (fight dirty) br grab me by the balls br (is such an underhand action allowed br in the International Rules of Pillow Fighting) br br You pummel me br into submission. br Our pillows splitting br covering us gloriously br in white downy feathers br br as if we were br in a snowstorm br inside the magic br of an upside-down glass ball br feathers sticking to our sweat-soaked skin br as if we were angels br newly hatched or just plucked br we laugh br listening to the crescendo of br Parisian rain.
