¨¨¨¨~~~%£# the so called "third migraine". it's #£%~~~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨~†%£## like a regular migraine but it does not ##£%†~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~~%£# hurt there's no pain, the cosmos is #£%~~¨¨¨¨¨
¨~~†%@£### there and it's draining the evil ###£@%†~~¨
¨~~†%@£### straight out of the wound. ###£@%†~~¨
¨¨¨¨¨~†%£# #£%†~¨¨¨¨¨
¨~~†%@£### it's massaging your temples, piercing ###£@%†~~¨
¨~~†%@£### you, entering your blood, cracking the ###£@%†~~¨
¨~~†%@£### skull open. a paw grips your brain, ###£@%†~~¨
¨~~†%@@£## plays with it, pulls it out into the ##£@@%†~~¨
¨~~†%@£### cosmos. ###£@%†~~¨

¨¨¨¨~†%@@£ life gets to prosper outside of¨#†~~~ - £@@%†~¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~~%£# suddenly, an acid flashback: i step #£%~~¨¨¨¨¨
¨~~†%@@@## down in my mind (like an open mind / ##@@@%†~~¨

¨~~†%@@££# live on the second floor, together with #££@@%†~~¨
¨~~†%@£### the owner. as i close the metal ###£@%†~~¨

¨~~†%@£### curfew sirens. ###£@%†~~¨
¨¨¨¨¨~†%£# #£%†~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨~†%£# wormy street wolves outside, chasing #£%†~¨¨¨¨¨
¨~~~~†%£££ entrances in the dark alleyways, £££%†~~~~¨
¨~~†%%@@@£ wanting in, getting desperate, lapsing £@@@%%†~~¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~%£ to search higher, on roofs, climbing on £%~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨~~†%@£### balconies. and there's bound to be some ###£@%†~~¨
¨~~~~%@@## reckless tourist who didn't heed the ##@@%~~~~¨
¨~~†%@£### warnings, never closed their windows... ###£@%†~~¨
¨~~†%@£### ###£@%†~~¨
¨¨¨~~†@£££ or, in some cases, the houseowner had £££@†~~¨¨¨
