¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# the so called "third migraine". it's #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# like a regular migraine but it does not #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# hurt there's no pain, the cosmos is #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# there and it's draining the evil #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# straight out of the wound. #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# it's massaging your temples, piercing #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# you, entering your blood, cracking the #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# skull open. a paw grips your brain, #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# plays with it, pulls it out into the #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# cosmos. #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# there's comets! space oddities. #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# solitary oscillations. carrier wave. #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# burned away by the suns radiation until #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# only the faintest trace remain, #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# eventually caught in the gravity well #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# of some second rate water planet. #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# it's raining sap. #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# we're getting sweet and wet #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#

¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# my lunch break is over and i need to #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# get back to the shop. lynne is there #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# alone and hasn't eaten yet. i take the #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# back route up from the beach to avoid #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# the crowd. sing a little to myself. #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# life gets to prosper outside of¨#/=== - #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# suddenly, an acid flashback: i step #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# down in my mind (like an open mind / #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# fractal stinger / bismuth staircase) #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# and wade in shadows... surrounded by #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# memory negatives, #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# like uprocessed film.... #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#

¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# we're closing for the evening. the shop #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# is in the bottom floor of a narrow #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# mudbrick building, painted teal. we #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# live on the second floor, together with #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# the owner. as i close the metal #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# curtain, behind its characteristic #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# sharp rattling i can hear the #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# curfew sirens. #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# wormy street wolves outside, chasing #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# entrances in the dark alleyways, #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# wanting in, getting desperate, lapsing #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# to search higher, on roofs, climbing on #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# balconies. and there's bound to be some #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# reckless tourist who didn't heed the #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# warnings, never closed their windows... #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# or, in some cases, the houseowner had #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# the window bolts weakened, and when #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
¨#¨##¨##¨# cleaning up the aftermath would pocket #¨#¨#¨#¨##
¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨# their belongings. #¨#¨#¨#¨¨#
