¨¨¨&&&¨&¨& ¨¨&&&¨¨¨&&
¨¨&¨¨&&&&¨ ¨&¨¨&¨¨&¨&
¨&&¨&¨¨¨&& They Tell Me: "We Are Going To Shrink &&¨&&¨&&&&
&¨&&&¨¨&¨& You." I Don'T Quite Like The Tone In ¨&&¨&&¨¨¨&
&&¨¨&¨&&&& Their Voices, Like They Are Restraining &¨&&¨&¨¨&¨
¨&¨&&&¨¨¨¨ Themselves. There Is A Hunger In Them &&¨&&&¨&&&
&&&¨¨&¨¨¨¨ And It Wants Me To Shrink. And What ¨&&¨¨&&¨¨&
¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨ Really Irks Me Is That So Do I. &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
¨&&&¨&¨¨¨& &&&&&&&&&¨
&¨¨&&&¨¨&& They Give Me Wristbands And Anklets, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&¨& Made Of Some Strange Stone. Their ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&&&
&&&¨&&&&&¨ Surface Is Swirling, Like Dark ¨¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨
¨¨&&¨¨¨¨&¨ Thunderstorms Trapped In Glass, Like ¨¨¨¨¨&&¨¨&
¨&¨&¨¨¨&&¨ Windows Into A Smaller World, Close To ¨¨¨¨&¨&¨&&
&&&&¨¨&¨&& My Body So That It Can See Clearly ¨¨¨&&&&&¨&
¨¨¨&¨&&&¨& Whats In Store. ¨¨&¨¨¨¨&&¨
¨¨&&&¨¨&&& ¨&&¨¨¨&¨&¨
¨&¨¨&¨&¨¨¨ They Give Me Food: Prawn-Like Bugs That &¨&¨¨&&&&¨
&&¨&&&&¨¨¨ Make My Tongue Curl With Satisfaction. &&&¨&¨¨¨&¨
¨&&¨¨¨&¨¨& "Out Of This World", I Think, Having No ¨¨&&&¨¨&&&
&¨&¨¨&&¨&¨ Frame Of Reference. I Eat Only Two, But ¨&¨¨&¨&¨¨&
&&&¨&¨&&&& The Bugs Leave Me Suspiciously &&¨&&&&¨&¨
¨¨&&&&¨¨¨& Satisfied. ¨&&¨¨¨&&&&
¨&¨¨¨&¨¨&¨ &¨&¨¨&¨¨¨&
&&¨¨&&¨&&¨ They Measure My Clothes. "You Are Going &&&¨&&¨¨&&
¨&¨&¨&&¨&¨ To Become About Half As Big", They Tell ¨¨&&¨&¨&¨¨
&&&&&¨&&&& Me, Barely Controlling Themselves With ¨&¨&&&&&¨¨
¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨¨ Anticipation. &&&¨¨¨¨&¨&
