£.&¨#¨£¨§. my greatest treasure, the £¨#.¤¨¤¨£,
@¨¤¨§.&¨¤. book of stars, is a combined map, ¤¨&¨§.&,§¨
¤,#,@¨@.&. calendar and timepiece as long as you #¨¤¨&,#¨£.
@¨§.¤.&¨§. know what year it is. every page is a @.£,@.#,@.
¤¨#.§.#,@, grid of nine starfields, hand drawn, #.&.£.@¨¤.
@,¤¨#,§¨§. below which are written coordinates in ¤,@¨&.@,£.
#,&,&.#¨£. both space and time. a lot of it is &,§,£.£¨£¨
¤.¤,¤,¤,@¨ applicable on earth, but not all. it §.#¨¤¨¤¨§.
§¨£,@.§.£, hints of other places - some stars &¨#,¤.@¨#.
#.#.&¨§¨#, reordered, some names i have never &¨£,£.£,£.
@¨@.#.&¨#¨ heard. sometimes the dates are £,#¨¤.§,#¨
&¨¤.£,@.@¨ impossible. ¤¨§.£,¤,£.
@.#.@¨£¨§. §¨#.&.§,&¨
&¨§.#.#¨@, those pages are exactly what i scramble &.§¨£.§,&.

¤¨¤,£¨&¨§, ground. one lands on my foot, it is a @,@¨@¨&¨¤¨
£,#.§.§,§. drawing of a muscle cow, but i could §.#¨¤,£,#¨
&¨¤.&¨§,&, care less right now. &,@¨@¨§,&,
