&¨¨¨¨¨&&&¨ in a black rubbery sleep i dream about &&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨&¨¨¨¨&¨&& cold boiling asphalt and ¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨&& crimson emergency flares... ¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨ they were tearing down statues, and &¨&&¨¨¨&&&
&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨& bellowing their manifest, in the rain, ¨¨&&&¨¨&¨&
&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ in the dark, ¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ &¨¨¨&&&¨¨&
¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨ and something followed me out, a &&¨¨&¨&&¨¨
¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨ yearning. a memory of being touched by ¨&&¨¨¨&&&¨
¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨ a ray from a raspberry sun. still ¨&&&¨¨&¨&&
&¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨ there, everything would be gritty and ¨&¨&&¨¨¨&&
&&¨¨¨&&&¨¨ full of tar. rain upon it. but then a ¨¨¨&&&¨¨&¨
&&&¨¨&¨&&¨ few bright and colorful anomalies. and &¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨
&¨&&¨¨¨&&& a promise for more. &&¨¨¨&&&¨¨
¨¨&&&¨¨&¨& &&&¨¨&¨&&¨
¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨& like waking up with a business card in &¨&&¨¨¨&&&
&¨¨¨&&&¨¨& your pocket... ¨¨&&&¨¨&¨&
&&¨¨&¨&&¨¨ ¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨&&&¨ a feather boa wrapped around a velvet &¨¨¨&&&¨¨&
¨&&&¨¨&¨&& lizard, surfacing for milliseconds at a &&¨¨&¨&&¨¨
¨&¨&&¨¨¨&& time, calling, tugging at my arms. ¨&&¨¨¨&&&¨
¨¨¨&&&¨¨&¨ begging me to sink back down and be ¨&&&¨¨&¨&&
&¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨ with them, with their kind. easy to get ¨&¨&&¨¨¨&&
&&¨¨¨&&&¨¨ washed away from the tether, from the ¨¨¨&&&¨¨&¨
&&&¨¨&¨&&¨ way back up. ¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨
&¨&&¨¨¨&&& ¨¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨
¨¨&&&¨¨&¨& ¨¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨
¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨& but i cannot go. the consequences would &¨¨¨¨¨¨&&&
&¨¨¨&&&¨¨& be too large. especially since i'm in &&¨¨¨¨¨&¨&
&&¨¨&¨&&¨¨ the work mill and they've got their &&&¨¨¨¨¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨&&&¨ eyes on me already. the feeling will &¨&&¨¨¨¨¨&
¨&&&¨¨&¨&& wane, and i will miss it, and cease to ¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨
¨&¨&&¨¨¨&& understand. like every day. ¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨
