&,,,,&,,,, in a black rubbery sleep i dream about ,,&,,,,,&&

&,,,,,&&&, they were tearing down statues, and ,,&,,&,,,,
,&,,,,&,&& bellowing their manifest, in the rain, &,,&,,&,,,
,,&,,,,,&& in the dark, ,&,,&,,&,,
,,,&,,,,&, ,,&,,&,,&,
,,,,&,,,,, and something followed me out, a &,,&,,&,,&
&,,,,&,,,, yearning. a memory of being touched by ,&,,&,,&,,
,&,,,,&,,, a ray from a raspberry sun. still ,,&,,&,,&,
,,&,,,,&,, there, everything would be gritty and ,,,&,,&,,&
&,,&,,,,&, full of tar. rain upon it. but then a ,,,,&,,&,,
,&,,&,,,,& few bright and colorful anomalies. and &,,,,&,,&,
,,&,,&,,,, a promise for more. ,&,,,,&,,&
&,,&,,&,,, ,,&,,,,&,,
,&,,&,,&,, like waking up with a business card in ,,,&,,,,&,
,,&,,&,,&, your pocket... &,,,&,,,,&
&,,&,,&,,& &&,,,&,,,,
,&,,&,,&,, a feather boa wrapped around a velvet ,&&,,,&,,,
,,&,,&,,&, lizard, surfacing for milliseconds at a ,&&&,,,&,,
,,,&,,&,,& time, calling, tugging at my arms. ,&,&&,,,&,
,,,,&,,&,, begging me to sink back down and be ,,,&&&,,,&
&,,,,&,,&, with them, with their kind. easy to get ,,,&,&&,,,
,&,,,,&,,& washed away from the tether, from the &,,,,&&&,,
,,&,,,,&,, way back up. &&,,,&,&&,
,,,&,,,,&, &&&,,,,&&&
&,,,&,,,,& &,&&,,,&,&
&&,,,&,,,, but i cannot go. the consequences would ,,&&&,,,,&
,&&,,,&,,, be too large. especially since i'm in ,,&,&&,,,&
,&&&,,,&,, the work mill and they've got their ,,,,&&&,,,
,&,&&,,,&, eyes on me already. the feeling will ,,,,&,&&,,
,,,&&&,,,& wane, and i will miss it, and cease to ,,,,,,&&&,
,,,&,&&,,, understand. like every day. ,,,,,,&,&&
