,,##,#,,##      our faces had been shaped like      ,,#,,##,#,
,#,###,#,, pentagrams in the darkness of the barn,  ,##,#,###,
###,,###,,  we were long worms, with hairy tubular  #,####,,#,

,,#,#,####  cannabinoid-leaf, no tobacco, and i was ,######,##

,,,##,#,,,    i could not move, and my voice was    ###,###,,#
,,#,###,,,   small when i asked my friends why we   ,,##,,#,##
,###,,#,,,   had done this, how such events could   ,#,#,###,#
