,,&,&&,,,, 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. ,,,&,,&,,,
