¨#¨#¨#¨¨¨¨     their internal logic changing and    ¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨
######¨¨¨# grinding trenches in my  mind. it's like ¨¨¨¨##¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨## language, sentences i can't  hide  from, ¨¨¨#¨#¨¨¨#
¨¨¨¨##¨#¨# forcefully transcribed  in  my mind, and ¨¨####¨¨##

¨##¨#¨¨¨##    already, droning everything out, a    ¨¨¨#¨¨¨#¨¨

¨#¨##¨¨#¨¨ escape. to crawl on  the floor searching ¨¨#¨¨####¨

¨#¨¨¨##¨#¨  outside does nothing... drinking water  ##¨¨#¨#¨¨#
##¨¨#¨###¨ does  noting...  but  time does -  after ¨#¨####¨##
¨#¨###¨¨##     thirty seconds i'm normal again,     ###¨¨¨##¨¨
###¨¨#¨#¨¨ doubting  anything of this  happened  in ¨¨#¨¨#¨#¨¨
