§¨§¨§§¨§¨§  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.   §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨

§¨§¨¨§¨§¨§  here our friend started to laugh their  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨§¨§§¨§¨§  most fucked up laugh, and wouldn't stop §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§¨¨§¨§¨§           for several minutes.           §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨

§¨§¨§§¨§¨§      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.        §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
