A problem that I've discovered is that no one has ever described how the stomach or the belly feels or, rather, appears. A belly is happy and satisfied or a stomach growls or there is a bad feeling in the pit of the stomach, but these conventions are strictly introspective, but to describe how one's own stomach feels from the outside, that is something else altogether and incomplete. A baby's will be described as soft and an athlete's will be hard, but you, my friend, if you were to rub your stomach how would it feel? The skin drags against bone or against fat. It might baby soft or athlete hard, or hairy or smooth, but to move more imaginatively from this simple tactile language is really difficult.
What are your random thoughts?

I'm still laughing. Only you would really think about this.
My tum is definitely not hairy.
yeah it probably only would be me to think of this, but you have to admit that the poetic language is a bit thin here. It's all internal. Maybe it's too direct or it's too superficial or it's too easy to say the wrong thing. it's just weird.
Yep. Certainly is my friend.
