...~~/%£§¶ 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 ##¶§£%/~~.

..~~/%£§¶# 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. ##¶§£%/~~.

..~~/%£§¶# 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 #¶§£%/~~..
