&,,,,&,,,, in a black rubbery sleep i dream about &,,&,,&,,,
,&,,,,&,,, cold boiling asphalt and ,&,,&,,&,,

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