,,,,,,~-\* when i was in eight grade i decided i *\-~,,,,,,

,,,,,,,,~- never to return. -~,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,~ ~,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, i remember sitting in my parents car on ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,~ a cloudy, watery day, getting a ride ~,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,~- somewhere. it felt like i had solved -~,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,~-\ some great puzzle. i've solved no \-~,,,,,,,
,,,,,,~-\* puzzles since then. *\-~,,,,,,

,,,,~-\*§@ instead, i've been mindlessly piloting @§*\-~,,,,
,,,~-\*§@# this body around. i still give it life, #@§*\-~,,,
,,~-\*§@#@ somehow. like a golem, and i try not to @#@§*\-~,,
,~-\*§@#@# care too much, but i do. it's a #@#@§*\-~,
