@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  we decided to smoke the drug in a barn  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  that holds great nostalgia for us all.  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    we went inside and to the highest     @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   floor, where we sat down in the hay.   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    after a while began the collective    @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  process of rolling another joint, but   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  here our friend started to laugh their  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  most fucked up laugh, and wouldn't stop @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨           for several minutes.           @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ when they came to they said this to me:  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨      our faces had been shaped like      @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  pentagrams in the darkness of the barn, @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  we were long worms, with hairy tubular  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨     bodies dancing from side to side,    @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨         begging for cigarettes...        @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨

@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   our lingering came to an end when we   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  headed into the city core. four hours   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ after our first toke we found ourselves  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    in a dark slope beneath a gigantic    @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨               water tower.               @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ the time was in the post-twelves of the  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  night when we rolled a joint with pure  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  cannabinoid-leaf, no tobacco, and i was @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨         thrown into a nightmare.         @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   as i watched, the city became a wall,  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ and i was hanging above the while world  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   in a strange and underworldly forest,  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ pushed upwards against the ground below. @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨      i was then struck with the most     @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  powerful fear. a force compelled me to  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  subvocalize, but the words were not my  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                   own:                   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  - it - shines - through - earth - and - @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    flesh - alike - and - the - light -   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  will - find - you - the - light - will  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  - devour - you - you - were - chosen -  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ you - were - chosen - a - very - long -  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨               time - ago -               @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    i could not move, and my voice was    @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   small when i asked my friends why we   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   had done this, how such events could   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨      take place. but my friends were     @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨       completely still and silent.       @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  and then, astral projection. i saw the  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  city from above, from above the clouds, @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    a space station... and the tower, a   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   monolith, unearthly white, antenna to  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ speak to me... the most beautiful view.  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  i saw myself down there, body shaking,  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨            speaking gibberish.           @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨

@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ here's a whole block of time eradicated  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   from my mind, no doubt eaten by the    @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  disease, but when i came to i had come  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   to terms with my imminent death. the   @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   city-entity wanted me gone, by way of  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  psychic erosion and cold temperatures.  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  it could've been below zero. we got up  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   and wandered the streets to keep warm  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨       until the sun finally rose.        @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
