,,,~^*$£## in  this dream i  was a  girl  of  maybe ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### sixteen years,  together  with my dad in ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£## a  huge  bath  house /  spa  /  hotel  / ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£# shopping centre.       dad was constatly #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ pointing out hot girls  to me.  "you see £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£#   that black-haired thing dissapearing   #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## behind  the  clothes  rack?  oof!"  he'd ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### say.  he was always  very  creepy  about ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£## this,   going   for   girls    my   age. ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£#                                          #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ this night he  had  just tried to woo  a £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£# girl he called a  "mouse" by  buying her #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## shoes,  but she had accepted  them  only ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### to run away  immediately  afterward. dad ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£## was  a   bit  bummed  but   dropped   it ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£# quickly. i  said  goodnight to  him  and #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£        went looking for the mouse.       £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£#                                          #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## the building  was enormous and mazelike. ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### walls, floors and  pillars were  set  in ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£## green  marble. throughout the  house ran ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£# a  main  boulevard,  wide  as  a street, #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ framed with clay vases dark as  obsidian £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£# and  taller than  a person. in each vase #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## was placed upright  a leaf  from  a palm ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### tree or  giant fern.  the  boulevard was ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£## dimly lit, which  allowed the pools that ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£#   were generously sprinkled throughout   #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£   each floor would reflect suggestive    £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£#          patterns on the marble.         #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£##                                          ##£$*^~,,,

,,,,~^*$£# following  the boulevard, two floors  up #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ i  found  her  crying  behind  two  fern £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£# vases.  she  was  beautiful,  and  as  i #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## approached, she looked up  and sniveled. ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### in  the  nearest  vase she  had  stuffed ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£##             both the shoes.              ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£#                                          #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ i told her  to  follow, but  she  didn't £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£# move  or  speak.  so  instead i said  to #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## stay there, and ran to get  her a better ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### pair of  shoes  that she would  actually ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£## like.  when  i  returned,  having  spent ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£# more than i  could  really  afford,  she #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ was visibly impressed. i tried to  sound £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£# cool, saying  something  like  "what  do #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## you think,  just because a  girl  has  a ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### freaky  dad, she  doesn't  have  taste?" ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£## but  mouse  girl  just  laughed  at  me. ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£#                                          #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ she then took  me by the hand and led me £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£# out   a  side  route  to   a  closed-off #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## rooftop walking garden,  full of juniper ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£### and  thuja. it was a  late evening,  and ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£##     the stars were glittering. being     ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£# closed, the garden had  its light turned #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ off,  but we could  still  see  our  way £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£# around by  the  light  shining down from #£$*^~,,,,
,,,~^*$£## the  windows   of   the  higher  floors. ##£$*^~,,,
,,~^*$£###                                          ###£$*^~,,
,,,~^*$£## she lay down in a patch  of grass. i sat ##£$*^~,,,
,,,,~^*$£# down  on  my  knees,  and  then  crawled #£$*^~,,,,
,,,,,~^*$£ closer.  she  laughed  at me again,  and £$*^~,,,,,
,,,,~^*$£#                  said -                  #£$*^~,,,,
