@#@£†:~^¨¨    shower creatures. first their black   ¨¨^~:†£@#@
#@#@£†:~^¨  velvet arms, touching, and then entire  ¨^~:†£@#@#

#@#@£†:~^¨     drained... and then brought back,    ¨^~:†£@#@#
@#@£†:~^¨¨  slowly, waking as the water dries off   ¨¨^~:†£@#@
#@#@£†:~^¨    of you. cabin open to the cold air    ¨^~:†£@#@#
@#@£†:~^¨¨  tickling your fresh-born mind. creature ¨¨^~:†£@#@
