#¨¨#¨¨#¨#¨ 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.                 #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨
