###,,,,,,# like a regular migraine but it does not ,,,,###,,#
,,#,,,,,## hurt there's no pain, the cosmos is ,,,#,,#,#,
,##,,,,#,, there and it's draining the evil ,,##,####,
#,#,,,##,, straight out of the wound. ,#,##,,,#,
###,,#,#,# ###,#,,###
,,#,###### it's massaging your temples, piercing ,,###,#,,,
,###,,,,,, you, entering your blood, cracking the ,#,,###,,,
#,,#,,,,,# skull open. a paw grips your brain, ##,#,,#,,,
#,##,,,,#, plays with it, pulls it out into the ,###,##,,#
##,#,,,##, cosmos. #,,##,#,#,
,###,,#,## #,#,######
#,,#,###,# there's comets! space oddities. ####,,,,,#
#,###,,### solitary oscillations. carrier wave. ,,,#,,,,#,
##,,#,#,,, burned away by the suns radiation until ,,##,,,###
,#,####,,, only the faintest trace remain, ,#,#,,#,,,
###,,,#,,# eventually caught in the gravity well ####,##,,,
,,#,,##,#, of some second rate water planet. ,,,##,#,,#
,##,#,###, ,,#,###,##

#,##,#,##, down in my mind (like an open mind / ,##,#,##,#

,##,,,#### and wade in shadows... surrounded by ##,,,##,##

#,##,,#,,# mudbrick building, painted teal. we ,,,####,,,
##,#,##,## live on the second floor, together with ,,#,,,#,,#

###,#,,##, entrances in the dark alleyways, ,,##,,#,#,
,,###,#,## wanting in, getting desperate, lapsing ,#,#,#####
,#,,####,, to search higher, on roofs, climbing on #####,,,,#
