This is an exerpt from a surrealistic book I'm reading called My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist:

Each man loves his wife so very much sometimes he hugs her with such ardor that it leaves her gasping for breath he feels as if he wants to literally get inside her skin with her, to draw her flesh over them both as if it were a sheet or a quilt, to feel the palpitations and quivers of her internal organs warm and slick with thier secretions against his nakedness when she eats, he puts his ear to her cheek as she chews to better savor the music of her mandibles he puts an ear to her stomach and enjoys the churning and gurgles of her digestion and an ear to her lower abdomen to note the sibilant rush of gas as it winds through her intestines, to the small of her back to hear wach crack of her vertebrae, between her shoulder blades for the soft expansion and contraction of her lungs at night, while she sleeps, he puts his ear against her scalp and listens for the almost inaudible rustling of her hair as it grows

I read the first part and it seemed so familiar. Like that feeling you get when you can't get enough of the person you're with and you can't seem to bury yourself deep enough in them to be completely satisfying. I'm glad I get that feeling with Jeremy. :)
