¨¨@@@@¨¨¨¨ they tell me: "we are going to shrink ¨¨¨@¨¨@@@@
¨¨¨@@¨¨@@¨ you." i don't quite like the tone in @@¨¨¨¨¨@@¨
@@¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ their voices, like they are restraining @¨¨@@@¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨@@@@@@@ themselves. there is a hunger in them ¨¨¨¨@¨¨@@¨
@@¨¨@@@@@@ and it wants me to shrink. and what ¨@@¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨@@@@@ really irks me is that so do i. ¨¨¨¨@@@@@¨
@@@@¨¨@@@@ ¨@@¨¨@@@¨¨
¨@@¨¨¨¨@@¨ they give me wristbands and anklets, ¨¨¨¨¨¨@¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨@@¨¨¨¨ made of some strange stone. their ¨@@@@¨¨¨@@

¨¨¨¨@@¨¨@@ thunderstorms trapped in glass, like @¨¨¨¨¨¨¨@@
¨@@¨¨¨¨¨¨@ windows into a smaller world, close to ¨¨@@@@@¨¨¨

¨@@@@@@@@@ they give me food: prawn-like bugs that ¨¨@@@¨¨@@¨
¨¨@@@@@@@@ make my tongue curl with satisfaction. @¨¨@¨¨¨¨¨¨
@¨¨@@@@@@¨ "out of this world", i think, having no ¨¨¨¨¨@@@@@
