¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  we decided to smoke the drug in a barn  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨  that holds great nostalgia for us all.  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨     we went inside and to the highest    ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨   floor, where we sat down in the hay.   ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨                                          ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨    after a while began the collective    ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨   process of rolling another joint, but  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨  here our friend started to laugh their  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  most fucked up laugh, and wouldn't stop ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨           for several minutes.           ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨                                          ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨ when they came to they said this to me:  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨      our faces had been shaped like      ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨  pentagrams in the darkness of the barn, ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  we were long worms, with hairy tubular  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨     bodies dancing from side to side,    ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨        begging for cigarettes...         ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§

¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨   our lingering came to an end when we   ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨  headed into the city core. four hours   ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  after our first toke we found ourselves ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨    in a dark slope beneath a gigantic    ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨               water tower.               ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨                                          ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  the time was in the post-twelves of the ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨  night when we rolled a joint with pure  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  cannabinoid-leaf, no tobacco, and i was ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨         thrown into a nightmare.         ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨                                          ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨   as i watched, the city became a wall,  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  and i was hanging above the while world ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨   in a strange and underworldly forest,  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨ pushed upwards against the ground below. ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨                                          ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨     i was then struck with the most      ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨  powerful fear. a force compelled me to  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  subvocalize, but the words were not my  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨                   own:                   ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨                                          ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§

¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨    i could not move, and my voice was    ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨   small when i asked my friends why we   ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨   had done this, how such events could   ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨     take place. but my friends were      ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨       completely still and silent.       ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨                                          ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  and then, astral projection. i saw the  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨ city from above, from above the clouds,  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨    a space station... and the tower, a   ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨   monolith, unearthly white, antenna to  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨ speak to me... the most beautiful view.  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨  i saw myself down there, body shaking,  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨           speaking gibberish.            ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§

¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  here's a whole block of time eradicated ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨   from my mind, no doubt eaten by the    ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  disease, but when i came to i had come  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨   to terms with my imminent death. the   ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨   city-entity wanted me gone, by way of  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨  psychic erosion and cold temperatures.  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨  it could've been below zero. we got up  ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
¨§¨§¨¨§¨§¨   and wandered the streets to keep warm  ¨§§¨§¨¨§¨§
¨§¨§¨§§¨§¨        until the sun finally rose.       ¨¨§¨§¨§§¨§
