£@=†~,¨¨¨¨ then it stays so until i fall asleep. ¨¨¨¨,~†=@£

£@=†~,¨¨¨¨ in this cottage there's a lot of radio ¨¨¨¨,~†=@£
@=†~,¨¨¨¨¨ equipment, sound stuff, synths, tape ¨¨¨¨¨,~†=@

†~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ mirrors, prisms, and various things to ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~†

£@=†~,¨¨¨¨ i have friends - there's a cat, and a ¨¨¨¨,~†=@£
@£@=†~,¨¨¨ dog (who is ridicolously large and ¨¨¨,~†=@£@
#@£@=†~,¨¨ wants to be the big spoon). i listen to ¨¨,~†=@£@#
##@£@=†~,¨ 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, ¨¨¨¨,~†=@£

#@£@=†~,¨¨ fall asleep i'd always wake up fully ¨¨,~†=@£@#
