An Ultimate Encounter

they go to a rented house
a big beautiful old fashioned house with high ceiling rooms
and they take over one particular large room
the kind of room that feels gigantic and intimate at the same time
it has dark walls, dark curtains
plush furniture
beautiful rugs on the floor
beautiful lamps
a really nice stereo
good food and drinks
they turn the lights down low
they sit up
they lay down
they are on couches, chairs, the floor
where they end up the most comfortable and enthusiastic is when they are laying on the floor
their heads right next to each other
their feet pointing in opposite directions
its all about the minds
they take turns picking the music
playing each other things they love
getting excited to see how the other reacts
how about this, what about this, what do you think of this, check this out
and they talk
about everything
all of it
who they are
things they have done
things they have seen
what they want to do
what they dont want to do
they change their minds
they think of new things
what they dream of
what they dread
they ask every question
they answer them all
they tell stories about every person they have ever known
they laugh
they listen
they interrupt
they cry
they add on

they recant

they exaggerate
they take breaks
they take naps
there is ping pong
its really competitive
they go out for long walks
they sleep
they eat
but they dont do anything else distracting
no shopping
no movies
no sightseeing
no phones
ok they need some movies and a tv

but not for vegging out

there is none of that
its cuz they have to talk about those too
they need the internet with a big monitor
and a huge library in the room next door
but its just them
no one else
two minds
working at full capacity
there is no time limit
it just goes on until they run out of things to say
until they are satisfied
