¨^~/$£#### dog  (who  is   ridicolously  large  and ####£$/~^¨
¨¨^~/$£### wants to be the big spoon).  i listen to ###£$/~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~/$£## the shortwave radio, and transmit a  bit ##£$/~^¨¨¨
¨¨^~/$£### myself,  songs  and  poetry,  and  found ###£$/~^¨¨
¨^~/$£#### sounds from the  forest. the others tell ####£$/~^¨
¨¨^~/$£### of their lives, play the guitar  for me, ###£$/~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~/$£## and  tell tales  of  the  old  world.  i ##£$/~^¨¨¨

¨¨¨^~/$£## will  not  be  affected  by  the nightly ##£$/~^¨¨¨

¨^~/$£####     completely reset overnight: synth    ####£$/~^¨
¨¨^~/$£###  patches removed, food uneaten, wounds   ###£$/~^¨¨

¨¨^~/$£### fall  asleep i'd always  wake  up  fully ###£$/~^¨¨
¨^~/$£#### rested  in  my  bed.  sometimes  there's ####£$/~^¨

¨¨¨^~/$£## large  sprawling  city,  where  my radio ##£$/~^¨¨¨
¨¨^~/$£### friends  live.  we go exploring together ###£$/~^¨¨
¨^~/$£#### - things are  deep and dark - but unlike ####£$/~^¨
¨¨^~/$£### me, they never remember  during the day. ###£$/~^¨¨
