¨&¨&&¨¨&¨¨ I'M IN  A  FUNNEL, I'M  IN ONE OF  THOSE ¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨&&&¨¨&¨     SPEED METER THINGS, I'M ZOOMING      &¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨ AND  NOW THE  WIND IS CONSCIOUSNESS  AND &¨&&¨¨&¨&&

¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨ ONE  WINTER  DAY  I  THINK  YEAR  TWENTY &&¨¨¨¨&&&¨
¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨ ELEVEN OR MAYBE  EARLIER, POSSIBLY  MUCH ¨&&¨¨¨&¨&&
&¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨ EARLIER, I WALKED OUT ALONE ON  THE LAKE ¨&&&¨¨¨¨&&
&&¨¨&¨&&¨¨ FOLLOWING    A   FOX   TRAIL,   A   THIN ¨&¨&&¨¨¨&¨
&&&¨¨¨&&&¨ SNOW-COVERED  ICE,  A  STUPID GIRL,  AND ¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨
&¨&&¨¨&¨&& THE  FOX WRAPS HIS TAIL AROUND  ME, IT'S &¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨
¨¨&&&¨¨¨&& IMPOSSIBLY  LARGE,  AND I'M BURROWED, IT ¨&¨¨¨&&&¨¨
¨¨&¨&&¨¨&¨       FEELS NICE, AND THAT'S THAT        ¨¨&¨¨&¨&&¨
