&¨&¨&&¨¨&¨ &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&&¨ when i was in eight grade i decided i &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&¨&&¨¨&¨ was dead. my spirit had left my body, &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&&¨ 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 &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&&¨ contaminated golem, this one. purity &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&¨&&¨¨&¨ clouded by my echo. afterglow of my &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&&¨ spirit. &¨&¨&¨&¨&¨
