¨¨¨¨,~*^%§ they tell me: "we are going to shrink §%^*~,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨,~*^%§@ you." i don't quite like the tone in @§%^*~,¨¨¨
¨¨,~*^%§@# their voices, like they are restraining #@§%^*~,¨¨
¨,~*^%§@## themselves. there is a hunger in them ##@§%^*~,¨
¨¨,~*^%§@# and it wants me to shrink. and what #@§%^*~,¨¨
¨¨¨,~*^%§@ really irks me is that so do i. @§%^*~,¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,~*^%§ §%^*~,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨,~*^%§@ they give me wristbands and anklets, @§%^*~,¨¨¨
¨¨,~*^%§@# made of some strange stone. their #@§%^*~,¨¨

¨¨,~*^%§@# thunderstorms trapped in glass, like #@§%^*~,¨¨
¨¨¨,~*^%§@ windows into a smaller world, close to @§%^*~,¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,~*^%§ my body so that it can see clearly §%^*~,¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨,~*^%§@ "out of this world", i think, having no @§%^*~,¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,~*^%§ frame of reference. i eat only two, but §%^*~,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨,~*^%§@ the bugs leave me suspiciously @§%^*~,¨¨¨
¨¨,~*^%§@# satisfied. #@§%^*~,¨¨

¨¨,~*^%§@# they measure my clothes. "you are going #@§%^*~,¨¨

¨¨¨¨,~*^%§ me, barely controlling themselves with §%^*~,¨¨¨¨
