I often swop day for night so that I may spend time with you<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is a simple technique\u00a0using a graduated neutral density filter<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But you tell me that you feel uncomfortable with this science<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As you feel you can be seen by anybody who cares to look<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You come home shower and slip in beside me smelling sweet<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I feel that you are seeing someone else but as we agreed we do not own each other<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Football\u00a0is my my great passion which you do not share<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You watch me play but I know that you are bored<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even Space Women Remove Their Clothes is the title of a book you are writing<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is a collection of erotic short stories in the style of Anais Nin<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You say that you are writing from experience\u00a0but I do not believe you<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As you are very modest\u00a0and do not like to be seen naked by complete strangers<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Apart from being a semi-professional footballer I am interested in camera techniques<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Which is the reason I can create day to night with the simplest thought<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is quite cold today and our potatoes are frozen in the ground<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So I am going to take you to a nice restaurant for a warming meal<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Your name is Ina and my name is Tom and we were born on the same day<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I moved to America when I was two and you spent your childhood days in Egypt<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Both our fathers were noted engineers and were involved in the construction of bridges<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We met at university and slept together on our first date in a hotel near the lake<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You have a scar on your public bone after falling off of your bicycle near the bus station<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although it is not severe you are ashamed of it and try to keep in covered when we are on the beach<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have a number of scars on my legs which I do not care about at all as football is a contact sport<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Your confidence about yourself is low and this is why I believe that you are intimate with your friends<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our parents have suggested marriage but we have not even become engaged<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The whole idea appals us as we are although together we are separate people with differing ideas<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Occasionally I buy you jewelry but you shun the idea of frequent gifts as pure decoration<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That is the reason that I film and photograph you whenever I can as I obsessed with your quiet inner beauty<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
