#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  in a black rubbery sleep i dream about  ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨         cold boiling asphalt and         ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨       crimson emergency flares...        ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   they were tearing down statues, and    ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  bellowing their manifest, in the rain,  ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨               in the dark,               ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨     and something followed me out, a     ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  yearning. a memory of being touched by  ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨    a ray from a raspberry sun. still     ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  there, everything would be gritty and   ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   full of tar. rain upon it. but then a  ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  few bright and colorful anomalies. and  ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨           a promise for more.            ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨              your pocket...              ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨                                          ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  a feather boa wrapped around a velvet   ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ lizard, surfacing for milliseconds at a  ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨    time, calling, tugging at my arms.    ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨    begging me to sink back down and be   ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ with them, with their kind. easy to get  ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  washed away from the tether, from the   ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨               way back up.               ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  but i cannot go. the consequences would ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  be too large. especially since i'm in   ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨    the work mill and they've got their   ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨   eyes on me already. the feeling will   ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  wane, and i will miss it, and cease to  ¨#¨#¨##¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨       understand. like every day.        ##¨#¨¨#¨#¨
