###£%;«.¨¨ dog (who is ridicolously large and ¨¨.«;%£###

###£%;«.¨¨ 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, ¨.«;%£####
