¨¨§¨§§¨¨§¨  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.   §§§¨¨¨§§§¨

¨¨§§§¨¨§¨¨  here our friend started to laugh their  §¨¨¨§§¨§§¨
¨¨§¨¨§¨§§¨ most fucked up laugh, and wouldn't stop  §§¨¨§¨§§¨§
§¨§§¨§§§¨§           for several minutes.           §¨§¨§§§¨§§

§§§§¨§§§§§      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:                   ¨§§¨§§§¨¨§

§¨¨§§¨§¨¨§    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.       ¨§¨§¨§§¨¨¨
