Playing seems to be both disinterested and passionate at the same time disinterested in that it is not for real, and passionate in the absorption it requires.

I Love Sensual Women
I love sensual women and not passionate ones. A passionate woman closes her eyes, moans and shouts and the enjoyment of a passionate woman is blind.
A passionate woman writhes about, grabs you with her hands without looking where, clasps you, kisses you, even bites you and hurries to reach her climax as soon as she can. She has no time to display her sexual organs, no time to examine, touch with the hand and kiss your sexual organs, she is in such a hurry to slake her passion. Having slaked her passion, the passionate woman will fall asleep. The sexual organs of a passionate woman are dry. A passionate woman is always in some way or another mannish.
The sensual woman is always feminine.
Her contours are rounded and abundant.
The sensual woman rarely reaches a blind passion. She savours sexual enjoyment.
The sensual woman is always a woman and even in an unaroused state her sexual organs are moist. She has to wear a bandage on her sexual organs, so as not to soak them with moisture.
When she takes the bandage off in the evening, the bandage is so wet that it can be squeezed out.
Thanks to such an abundance of juices, the sexual organs of a sensual woman give off a slight, pleasant smell which increases strongly when the sensual woman is aroused. Then the juice from her sexual organs is secreted in a syrupy stream.
A sensual woman likes you to examine her sexual organs.

Karma Of Destinies Spoken
as poets we shall write
many poems containing time
borne in time of time
but eluding time in ephemeral
moments which eclipse time
embracing questing cosmic
insight significance seeping
from God’s vision purpose
distilled vibrations resonate
karma of destinies spoken
in human lives disinterested
dedicated in plans dissimilar

Is this cking true?

If it is, then excuse me,
I feel like vomiting a disgust driven by pity and neglect and disinterested admonition.
ok.
now its time for the cat walk.
on the cat walk, on the cat walk.

So you’re on a mission again
Where is that
I do not have to ask
Why is that
I do not have to ask
When is that
I do not have to ask
I am not interested
I am simply disinterested
I am not giving attention
To you and your excuses
Who is that?
It is all about you
Yes it is all about you
For whom is that?
You tell me it is for them
The poor and the underprivileged
The marginal and the oppressed
I will ask you again
For whom really is that?
And I will give
The correct answer
It is still for you
It is all about you
You you you you
You you you you
You you you you
You you you you
You you you you
It is never about me
It was never about me
It was never about us
There is no me
And there will never be us.

Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors, that they are ready to repeat their lesson as often as we please.
