¨:«††@&### DARK, AND THE STARS ARE OUT, BUT THE ###&@††«:¨
¨¨:«††@&## SUN IS ABOUT TO RISE. ITS A LONG DAY, ##&@††«:¨¨
¨:«††@&### BEFORE IT FADES TO NIGHT AGAIN, AND ###&@††«:¨
¨¨:«††@&## THEN IT STAYS SO UNTIL I FALL ASLEEP. ##&@††«:¨¨

¨:«††@&### EQUIPMENT, SOUND STUFF, SYNTHS, TAPE ###&@††«:¨
¨¨:«††@&## PLAYERS. PEN AND PAPER, BOOKS, CAMERAS, ##&@††«:¨¨
¨:«††@&### MIRRORS, PRISMS, AND VARIOUS THINGS TO ###&@††«:¨
¨¨:«††@&## DO ART WITH. THE FRIDGE IS FILLED WITH ##&@††«:¨¨

¨:«††@&### 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, ##&@††«:¨¨
¨:«††@&### AND TELL TALES OF THE OLD WORLD. I ###&@††«:¨

¨:«††@&### WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY THE NIGHTLY ###&@††«:¨

¨:«††@&### COMPLETELY RESET OVERNIGHT: SYNTH ###&@††«:¨
¨¨:«††@&## PATCHES REMOVED, FOOD UNEATEN, WOUNDS ##&@††«:¨¨
¨:«††@&### HEALED, AND WHEREVER AND WHENEVER I'D ###&@††«:¨
¨¨:«††@&## FALL ASLEEP I'D ALWAYS WAKE UP FULLY ##&@††«:¨¨

¨:«††@&### THE COTTAGE TRIES TO COMMUNICATE. HERE, ###&@††«:¨
