@¨¨@¨@@¨@¨ I DON'T  THINK IT'S  HORMONAL  OVERLOAD. @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨@@¨¨@¨@¨ THERE'S  NO  GRIEF OR JOY  AS  MY  WATER @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨¨@¨@@¨@¨ ROLLS DOWN  MY  FACE.  I  NOTICE NOTHING @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨

@¨¨@¨@@¨@¨ THE  BACK OF MY HAND. BUT I USUALLY KEEP @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨

@¨@@¨¨@¨@¨  SINGLE-SENSE HALLUCINATIONS. ACUTE BUT  @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
@¨¨@¨@@¨@¨ HOLLOW  HUNGER.  SAND  GRAINS  UNDER  MY @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨

@¨¨@¨@@¨@¨ FETCHED THAT  SOMETHING  LIKE  THAT  CAN @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
