¨#¨##¨#¨#¨ almost hostile. i can  feel them squirm, #¨##¨¨#¨¨¨
###¨######     their internal logic changing and    ##¨#¨##¨¨¨
¨¨##¨¨¨¨¨# grinding trenches  in my mind. it's like ¨####¨#¨¨#
¨#¨#¨¨¨¨#¨ language, sentences  i  can't hide from, #¨¨¨###¨##
####¨¨¨### forcefully transcribed  in my mind,  and #¨¨#¨¨##¨#

¨¨##¨#¨¨¨¨    already, droning everything out, a    ###¨##¨###
¨#¨###¨¨¨¨ rapid  melody,  almost  caustic  in it's ¨¨##¨##¨¨#

#¨#¨¨¨¨### escape.  to crawl on the floor searching #¨#¨¨¨####
