The right preposition? (np)

[David Morris]

Pre-position relative to some datum, a border between things? I think it
should mean a relationship, a state of position re. things/beings, with
their relative mental/spatial locations.

I would  love a challenge for debate while on good weed, with bear hairs
sneeky-creeping up my butt crack.

To, for, between, with.
