...&...... I Used To Be A Goth, In My Youth, Doing .&&&..&.&&
&...&..... Crimes Mostly From Or In My Beloved And .&.&&...&&
&&...&.... Trusted Car, And Sometimes My Mothers ...&&&..&.
&&&...&... Barn. We Lived Just Outside Town, A &..&.&&...
&.&&...&.. Grove At The End Of A Dirt Road, And &&...&&&..
..&&&...&. The Barn Was Placed So You Could Just &&&..&.&&.
..&.&&...& Make Out The Surrounding Fields Through &.&&...&&&
&...&&&... The Trees. ..&&&..&.&
&&..&.&&.. ..&.&&...&
.&&...&&&. My Car Was Black And Loud, Both The &...&&&..&
.&&&..&.&& Engine And The Way The Parts Didn'T &&..&.&&..
.&.&&...&& Really Stick Together. I Took My .&&...&&&.
...&&&..&. Crimefriend For Rides, In The Dark, The .&&&..&.&&
&..&.&&... Eternal Dark That Seemed To Surround .&.&&...&&
&&...&&&.. Us. She Seemed To Cast This Veil Over ...&&&..&.
&&&..&.&&. Everything. Her Black Skirt Reached To &..&.&&...
&.&&...&&& Her Knees But Then Somehow Also Back &&...&&&..
..&&&..&.& Around, Enveloping All My Memories Of .&&..&.&&.
..&.&&...& Our Time Together. .&&&...&&&
&...&&&..& .&.&&..&.&
&&..&.&&.. There Was Blood Everywhere. Sometimes ...&&&...&
.&&...&&&. The Blood Was Her Red Lipstick Or Her &..&.&&..&
.&&&..&.&& Checkered Shirt. She Was On Television. .&...&&&..
.&.&&...&& We Did Crime, And We Made Weird ..&..&.&&.
...&&&..&. Structures In The Barn, Tall Pillars Of &..&...&&&
&..&.&&... Dark Wood, Ladders And Plateaus, Fires .&..&..&.&
&&...&&&.. And Fairy Lights. We Would Sleep There ..&..&...&
.&&..&.&&. And Drink There And She Would Go In The ...&..&..&
.&&&...&&& Television. ....&..&..
.&.&&..&.& &....&..&.
...&&&...& And Then The Sun Came Out, And She Went &&....&..&
&..&.&&..& Away. Everything Changed... I Yearned, &&&....&..
.&...&&&.. And The World Became Dull Around Me. &.&&....&.
..&..&.&&. ..&&&....&
&..&...&&& I Stopped Doing Crime, Except When ..&.&&....
.&..&..&.& Necessarry. Things Somehow Seemed Like &...&&&...
..&..&...& They Were Allright, Moulded In Place, &&..&.&&..
...&..&..& And I Loathed It ------ I Missed Her .&&...&&&.
....&..&.. So Much. .&&&..&.&&

..&.&&.... I Searched For Her, But Nobody Had Any ...&...&&&
&...&&&... Memories Of Her. Not So Much Of Me ....&..&.&
&&..&.&&.. Either, From The Time We Were Together. .....&...&
.&&...&&&. My Mother Said I Kept To Myself In The ......&..&
.&&&..&.&& Barn, Or In The Car. .......&..
.&.&&...&& &.......&.
...&&&..&. Sometimes I Could Still See Her .&.......&
&..&.&&... Flashing By On The Tv In The Barn. ..&.......
.&...&&&.. Everything Was Black Then, For A ...&......
..&..&.&&. Moment. I Remembered Her Laugh And Knew &...&.....
...&...&&& We Had Done Crimes Together, That It &&...&....

&&&...&... Over The Car, Crashed It Into A Rock &..&.&&...
&.&&...&.. Wall And Flew Out The Windshield. &&...&&&..
..&&&...&. &&&..&.&&.
..&.&&...& And Then I Got Up, And Looked Around. &.&&...&&&
&...&&&... It Was Dark, Where It Previously Had ..&&&..&.&
&&..&.&&.. Been A Bright Day. Around Me Where ..&.&&...&
.&&...&&&. Dozens Of Crashed Cars, All My Car, &...&&&..&
.&&&..&.&& Some On Fire. &&..&.&&..
.&.&&...&& .&&...&&&.
...&&&..&. The Ground Was Sticky, Red. .&&&..&.&&
&..&.&&... .&.&&...&&
&&...&&&.. And Then I Realized That I Knew This ...&&&..&.
