¨,~^=*&### DARK, AND THE STARS ARE OUT, BUT THE ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## SUN IS ABOUT TO RISE. ITS A LONG DAY, ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### BEFORE IT FADES TO NIGHT AGAIN, AND ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## THEN IT STAYS SO UNTIL I FALL ASLEEP. ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### IT DOESN'T RISE UNLESS I'VE HAD MY ###&*=^~,¨

¨¨,~^=*&## IN THIS COTTAGE THERE'S A LOT OF RADIO ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### EQUIPMENT, SOUND STUFF, SYNTHS, TAPE ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## PLAYERS. PEN AND PAPER, BOOKS, CAMERAS, ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### MIRRORS, PRISMS, AND VARIOUS THINGS TO ###&*=^~,¨

¨¨,~^=*&## I HAVE FRIENDS - THERE'S A CAT, AND A ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### DOG (WHO IS RIDICOLOUSLY LARGE AND ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## WANTS TO BE THE BIG SPOON). I LISTEN TO ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### THE SHORTWAVE RADIO, AND TRANSMIT A BIT ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## MYSELF, SONGS AND POETRY, AND FOUND ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### SOUNDS FROM THE FOREST. THE OTHERS TELL ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## OF THEIR LIVES, PLAY THE GUITAR FOR ME, ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### AND TELL TALES OF THE OLD WORLD. I ###&*=^~,¨

¨¨,~^=*&## MOST IMPORTANTLY, THERE'S A TWO SQUARE ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### METER AREA ON THE FLOOR WHERE I CAN ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## "SAVE" THINGS. WHATEVER I PUT IN HERE ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY THE NIGHTLY ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## RESET. EVERYTHING ELSE, HOWEVER, IS ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### COMPLETELY RESET OVERNIGHT: SYNTH ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## PATCHES REMOVED, FOOD UNEATEN, WOUNDS ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### HEALED, AND WHEREVER AND WHENEVER I'D ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## FALL ASLEEP I'D ALWAYS WAKE UP FULLY ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### RESTED IN MY BED. SOMETIMES THERE'S ###&*=^~,¨

¨¨,~^=*&## IT'S NOT ENDLESS BUT CONNECTED TO A ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### LARGE SPRAWLING CITY, WHERE MY RADIO ###&*=^~,¨
¨¨,~^=*&## FRIENDS LIVE. WE GO EXPLORING TOGETHER ##&*=^~,¨¨
¨,~^=*&### - THINGS ARE DEEP AND DARK - BUT UNLIKE ###&*=^~,¨
