#£&^†~.¨¨¨ almost hostile. i can feel them  squirm, ¨¨¨.~†^&£#
£&^†~.¨¨¨¨    their internal logic changing and     ¨¨¨¨.~†^&£
&^†~.¨¨¨¨¨ grinding  trenches in my mind. it's like ¨¨¨¨¨.~†^&
£&^†~.¨¨¨¨ language, sentences i can't  hide  from, ¨¨¨¨.~†^&£
#£&^†~.¨¨¨ forcefully  transcribed in my  mind, and ¨¨¨.~†^&£#

#£&^†~.¨¨¨      because there's something there     ¨¨¨.~†^&£#
£&^†~.¨¨¨¨    already, droning everything out, a    ¨¨¨¨.~†^&£
&^†~.¨¨¨¨¨ rapid melody,  almost  caustic  in  it's ¨¨¨¨¨.~†^&
£&^†~.¨¨¨¨         particular microtonality.        ¨¨¨¨.~†^&£

£&^†~.¨¨¨¨ escape. to crawl on  the floor searching ¨¨¨¨.~†^&£
#£&^†~.¨¨¨ relief,  such is my  nature. turning the ¨¨¨.~†^&£#
##£&^†~.¨¨     lights on does nothing... getting    ¨¨.~†^&£##

##£&^†~.¨¨ does  noting...  but  time does  - after ¨¨.~†^&£##
#£&^†~.¨¨¨     thirty seconds i'm normal again,     ¨¨¨.~†^&£#
£&^†~.¨¨¨¨ doubting  anything of this  happened  in ¨¨¨¨.~†^&£
