,,,,~†%&£¶  trusted car, and sometimes my mothers   ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,,,~†%&£   barn. we lived just outside town, a    £&%†~,,,,,
,,,,~†%&£¶   grove at the end of a dirt road, and   ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,~†%&£¶#  the barn was placed so you could just   #¶£&%†~,,,
,,~†%&£¶##  make out the surrounding fields through ##¶£&%†~,,

,,,~†%&£¶#     really stick together. i took my     #¶£&%†~,,,
,,~†%&£¶##  crimefriend for rides, in the dark, the ##¶£&%†~,,
,,,~†%&£¶#   eternal dark that seemed to surround   #¶£&%†~,,,
,,,,~†%&£¶   us. she seemed to cast this veil over  ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,,,~†%&£  everything. her black skirt reached to  £&%†~,,,,,
,,,,~†%&£¶   her knees but then somehow also back   ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,~†%&£¶#  around, enveloping all my memories of   #¶£&%†~,,,

,,,,~†%&£¶   there was blood everywhere. sometimes  ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,,,~†%&£   the blood was her red lipstick or her  £&%†~,,,,,
,,,,~†%&£¶  checkered shirt. she was on television. ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,~†%&£¶#     we did crime, and we made weird      #¶£&%†~,,,
,,~†%&£¶## structures in the barn, tall pillars of  ##¶£&%†~,,
,,,~†%&£¶#  dark wood, ladders and plateaus, fires  #¶£&%†~,,,
,,,,~†%&£¶  and fairy lights. we would sleep there  ¶£&%†~,,,,

,,,~†%&£¶#  away. everything changed... i yearned,  #¶£&%†~,,,
,,,,~†%&£¶   and the world became dull around me.   ¶£&%†~,,,,

,,~†%&£¶##  they were allright, moulded in place,   ##¶£&%†~,,
,,,~†%&£¶#   and i loathed it ------ i missed her   #¶£&%†~,,,

,,,~†%&£¶#  my mother said i kept to myself in the  #¶£&%†~,,,

,,,,~†%&£¶     everything was black then, for a     ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,~†%&£¶#  moment. i remembered her laugh and knew #¶£&%†~,,,
,,~†%&£¶##   we had done crimes together, that it   ##¶£&%†~,,
,,,~†%&£¶#             had been real...             #¶£&%†~,,,

,,,,~†%&£¶   while ramming the fence to a military  ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,,,~†%&£   facility. by this time they had been   £&%†~,,,,,
,,,,~†%&£¶    chasing me for days. i lost control   ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,~†%&£¶#   over the car, crashed it into a rock   #¶£&%†~,,,
,,~†%&£¶##     wall and flew out the windshield.    ##¶£&%†~,,

,,,,,~†%&£   it was dark, where it previously had   £&%†~,,,,,
,,,,~†%&£¶    been a bright day. around me where    ¶£&%†~,,,,
,,,~†%&£¶#    dozens of crashed cars, all my car,   #¶£&%†~,,,
,,~†%&£¶##              some on fire.               ##¶£&%†~,,
