##@#*/=.¨¨ ALWAYS TEARS IN MY EYES WHEN USING THE ¨¨.=/*#@##
###@#*/=.¨ MACHINE. ¨.=/*#@###
##@#*/=.¨¨ ¨¨.=/*#@##
#@#*/=.¨¨¨ I DON'T THINK IT'S HORMONAL OVERLOAD. ¨¨¨.=/*#@#
@#*/=.¨¨¨¨ THERE'S NO GRIEF OR JOY AS MY WATER ¨¨¨¨.=/*#@
#*/=.¨¨¨¨¨ ROLLS DOWN MY FACE. I NOTICE NOTHING ¨¨¨¨¨.=/*#
@#*/=.¨¨¨¨ UNTIL MY CHIN IS WET. WIPE IT OFF WITH ¨¨¨¨.=/*#@
#@#*/=.¨¨¨ THE BACK OF MY HAND. BUT I USUALLY KEEP ¨¨¨.=/*#@#
##@#*/=.¨¨ CRYING FOR A WHILE. ¨¨.=/*#@##
###@#*/=.¨ ¨.=/*#@###
##@#*/=.¨¨ I THEORIZE SOME KIND OF RESONANCE IN ¨¨.=/*#@##
#@#*/=.¨¨¨ THE NEURAL INTERFACE; SOME SATURATION ¨¨¨.=/*#@#
@#*/=.¨¨¨¨ SIGNAL BEING TRIPPED? THE CONNECTION IS ¨¨¨¨.=/*#@
#*/=.¨¨¨¨¨ IMPERFECT AND OFTEN INDUCES ¨¨¨¨¨.=/*#
@#*/=.¨¨¨¨ SINGLE-SENSE HALLUCINATIONS. ACUTE BUT ¨¨¨¨.=/*#@
#@#*/=.¨¨¨ HOLLOW HUNGER. SAND GRAINS UNDER MY ¨¨¨.=/*#@#
##@#*/=.¨¨ FINGERTIPS. STRANGE TASTES AND SCENTS. ¨¨.=/*#@##
###@#*/=.¨ ¨.=/*#@###
##@#*/=.¨¨ AND I MEAN, MAYBE IT ISN'T TO FAR ¨¨.=/*#@##
#@#*/=.¨¨¨ FETCHED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAN ¨¨¨.=/*#@#
@#*/=.¨¨¨¨ CAUSE AUTONOMOUS REACTIONS? DRY MOUTH. ¨¨¨¨.=/*#@
#*/=.¨¨¨¨¨ FINGER SPASMS. OPENED TEAR DUCTS. ¨¨¨¨¨.=/*#
