Another body, please?

Are you looking for something?

Your eyes are so close that they can penetrate me through the pores of my skin. You get up close and too personal. It stings, it hurts a bit. Can you see inside me? Can you feel what I feel, think what I think, sense what I sense?

If we stick our noses together, will we only smell each other? If we fasten our lips together, will we inflate each other until we can fly? If we put our ears together, will we hear the music of our shell-bodies?
