¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§ a secret roundabout: in what used to be  ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§§¨§¨§§¨§  brazil or china. fenced in, secluded by ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§§¨§¨§§¨§    spelled in by purposeful symmetry,    ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§     roads like symbols, aligned with     ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§§¨§¨§§¨§  ley lines. dialed in with well-rounded  ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§§¨§¨§§¨§   important to some large constellation  ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§       of intents and bureaucracies.      ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§§¨§¨§§¨§ governments and companies are creatures  ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§§¨§¨§§¨§   between their claws, and hide in the   ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§     roadside bushes. they wait there.    ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§ practiced geometries. their bodies make  ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§§¨§¨§§¨§  counter-spells on the asphalt. traffic  ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§   is instantly diverted, flows in sick   ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§§¨§¨§§¨§  ways, like dogs let loose. symmetry is  ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§

¨§§¨§¨§§¨§     collide. there are many kinds of     ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§      casualties, on both sides. the      ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨§§¨§¨§§¨§    spellmakers will not come home. it    ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
¨¨§¨§¨¨§¨§   sickens me, this physical reality of   ¨§¨§¨§¨§¨§
