,,,,#,,#,# the shortwave radio, and  transmit a bit ##,,,#,,,,
,,,,,#,,,# myself,  songs  and  poetry,  and  found ###,,,#,,,
,,,,,,#,,# sounds from the  forest. the others tell #,##,,,#,,
,,,,,,,#,, of their  lives, play the guitar for me, ,,###,,,#,
,,,,,,,,#, and  tell  tales  of  the old  world.  i ,,#,##,,,#
#,,,,,,,,#      consider them friends as well.      ,,,,###,,,
