..~\**#### envelop me in noise... a sandstorm of ####**\~..
..~\**#### sound... and sure enough, between the ####**\~..
..~\**#### grains there are calls from other ####**\~..
..~\\***## worlds - ##***\\~..
..~\**#### ####**\~..
..~\**#### distant wailing sirens, coming closer ####**\~..
....~***## but staying out of reach... telling me ##***~....
..~\**#### that something is happening, perfuming ####**\~..
..~\**#### me with someone elses excitement ####**\~..
..~\***### ###***\~..
....~~**## the phone ringing, a certain phone from ##**~~....
..~\**#### a job long lost, urging for someone to ####**\~..

..~\**#### like were they calls from rubbery ####**\~..
..~\\\***# birds... deafeningly loud! #***\\\~..
..~\*##### but like a mirage, constantly #####*\~..
..~\****## evaporating and reforming. ##****\~..
..~\**#### and not really touching my eardrums. ####**\~..
