.#.#.#..#. a secret roundabout: in what used to be  #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.  brazil or china. fenced in, secluded by #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.  special plants growing unusually tall.  #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.    spelled in by purposeful symmetry,    #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.     roads like symbols, aligned with     #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.  ley lines. dialed in with well-rounded  #.#.#..#.#

.#.#.#..#.   a dangerous game: the roundabout is    #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.  important to some large constellation   #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.       of intents and bureaucracies.      #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.  governments and companies are creatures #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.     in a way. yet people sneak small     #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.   between their claws, and hide in the   #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.     roadside bushes. they wait there.    #.#.#.##.#

.#.#.#..#.   vehicles approach; the game is on -    #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.    quickly the people assemble in well   #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.  practiced geometries. their bodies make #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.  counter-spells on the asphalt. traffic  #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.   is instantly diverted, flows in sick   #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##.  ways, like dogs let loose. symmetry is  #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.                  lost.                   #.#.#.##.#

.#.#.#.##.    spellmakers will not come home. it    #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.   sickens me, this physical reality of   #.#.#.##.#
.#.#.#.##. it, but the cause is just. i sneak back  #.#.#..#.#
.#.#.#..#.      over the fense, heading south.      #.#.#.##.#
