..&&&.&&&. a secret roundabout: in what used to be &&...&....
..&..&&..& brazil or china. fenced in, secluded by &.&..&&...
..&&.&.&.& special plants growing unusually tall. &&&&.&.&..
..&.&&&&&& spelled in by purposeful symmetry, &...&&&&&.
..&&&..... roads like symbols, aligned with &&..&....&
&.&..&.... ley lines. dialed in with well-rounded ..&.&&...&
.&&&.&&... gps coordinates. &.&&&.&..&

&&&....&.& a dangerous game: the roundabout is &&.&...&&&
...&...&&& important to some large constellation &.&&&..&..
...&&..&.. of intents and bureaucracies. &&&..&.&&.
...&.&.&&. governments and companies are creatures &..&.&&&.&
&..&&&&&.& in a way. yet people sneak small .&.&&&..&&
.&.&....&& between their claws, and hide in the .&&&..&.&.
.&&&&...&. roadside bushes. they wait there. .&..&.&&&&
&&...&..&& .&&.&&&...
&.&..&&.&. vehicles approach; the game is on - &&.&&..&..
&&&&.&.&&& quickly the people assemble in well ..&&.&.&&.
&...&&&&.. practiced geometries. their bodies make &.&.&&&&.&
.&..&...&. counter-spells on the asphalt. traffic .&&&&...&&
&&&.&&..&& is instantly diverted, flows in sick .&...&..&.
&..&&.&.&. ways, like dogs let loose. symmetry is &&&..&&.&&
.&.&.&&&&& lost. &..&.&.&&.
.&&&&&.... &&.&&&&&.&
&&....&... cars are ejected into the greens. ships &.&&....&&
..&...&&.. collide. there are many kinds of .&&.&...&.
..&&..&.&. casualties, on both sides. the &&.&&&..&&
&.&.&.&&&& spellmakers will not come home. it &.&&..&.&.
&&&&&&&... sickens me, this physical reality of .&&.&.&&&&
