.&.&&.&.&. 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 .&.&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. it, but the cause is just. i sneak back .&.&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. over the fense, heading south. .&.&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. .&.&.&&..&
