###§£%:«,¨ CRIMES MOSTLY FROM OR IN MY BELOVED AND ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ 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 ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ THE TREES. ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ ¨¨,«:%£§##
###§£%:«,¨ MY CAR WAS BLACK AND LOUD, BOTH THE ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ ENGINE AND THE WAY THE PARTS DIDN'T ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ 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 ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ OUR TIME TOGETHER. ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ 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 ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ AND DRINK THERE AND SHE WOULD GO IN THE ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ TELEVISION. ¨¨,«:%£§##
###§£%:«,¨ ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ AND THEN THE SUN CAME OUT, AND SHE WENT ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ AWAY. EVERYTHING CHANGED... I YEARNED, ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ AND THE WORLD BECAME DULL AROUND ME. ¨¨,«:%£§##
###§£%:«,¨ ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ I STOPPED DOING CRIME, EXCEPT WHEN ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ NECESSARRY. THINGS SOMEHOW SEEMED LIKE ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ THEY WERE ALLRIGHT, MOULDED IN PLACE, ¨¨,«:%£§##

###§£%:«,¨ MEMORIES OF HER. NOT SO MUCH OF ME ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ EITHER, FROM THE TIME WE WERE TOGETHER. ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ MY MOTHER SAID I KEPT TO MYSELF IN THE ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ BARN, OR IN THE CAR. ¨¨,«:%£§##
###§£%:«,¨ ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ SOMETIMES I COULD STILL SEE HER ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ FLASHING BY ON THE TV IN THE BARN. ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ EVERYTHING WAS BLACK THEN, FOR A ¨¨,«:%£§##

#§£%:«,¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ AND THEN I GOT UP, AND LOOKED AROUND. ¨¨,«:%£§##
###§£%:«,¨ IT WAS DARK, WHERE IT PREVIOUSLY HAD ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ BEEN A BRIGHT DAY. AROUND ME WHERE ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ DOZENS OF CRASHED CARS, ALL MY CAR, ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ SOME ON FIRE. ¨¨,«:%£§##
###§£%:«,¨ ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ THE GROUND WAS STICKY, RED. ¨¨,«:%£§##
#§£%:«,¨¨¨ ¨¨¨,«:%£§#
##§£%:«,¨¨ AND THEN I REALIZED THAT I KNEW THIS ¨¨,«:%£§##
###§£%:«,¨ DARKNESS. I KNEW THE WAY THE SKY ¨,«:%£§###
##§£%:«,¨¨ TOUCHED THE GROUND. THIS WAS HER DOING! ¨¨,«:%£§##
