lesson #27<\/span>
 <\/span>

not really choking<\/span>
just cutting off<\/span>
circulation<\/span>
 <\/span>
like this<\/span>
 <\/span>
she shows me<\/span>
how to hold<\/span>
the red bungee<\/span>
just so.<\/span>
 <\/span>
she's on<\/span>
her knees<\/span>
in front of<\/span>
a full length mirror.<\/span>
 <\/span>
i'm on<\/span>
my knees<\/span>
behind her.<\/span>
 <\/span>
hell of a reach<\/span>
getting my hand<\/span>
around her gut<\/span>
down to<\/span>
the coin slot.<\/span>
 <\/span>
her eyes<\/span>
are closed.<\/span>
 <\/span>
feels like<\/span>
i'm an iroquois<\/span>
skinning a bear.<\/span>
 <\/span>
or like<\/span>
i'm trying to<\/span>
jerry-rig<\/span>
an old<\/span>
vacuum cleaner.<\/span>
 <\/span>
tighter,<\/span>
she croaks.<\/span>
 <\/span>
my bicep<\/span>
quivers.<\/span>
beads of sweat<\/span>
sprint down my forehead<\/span>
into my eyes<\/span>
as her face<\/span>
goes squid.<\/span>
 <\/span>
then she goes limp<\/span>
 <\/span>
before erupting<\/span>
 <\/span>
like mount vesuvius<\/span>
 <\/span>
~ ~ ~<\/span>
 <\/span>
your turn<\/span>
she smiles<\/span>
grabbing the bungee<\/span>
 <\/span>
waving it<\/span>
overhead<\/span>
like the<\/span>
holy cross.<\/span>
