&.&&...&&. I Used To Be A Goth, In My Youth, Doing &&&...&...
&&.&..&.&& Crimes Mostly From Or In My Beloved And ..&..&&..&
.&&&.&&&.. Trusted Car, And Sometimes My Mothers .&&.&.&.&.
&..&&..&.& Barn. We Lived Just Outside Town, A &.&&&&&&&.
&.&.&.&&&& Grove At The End Of A Dirt Road, And &&......&&
&&&&&&...& The Barn Was Placed So You Could Just .&.....&..
.....&..&& Make Out The Surrounding Fields Through &&....&&.&
....&&.&.. The Trees. .&...&.&&&
...&.&&&.& &&..&&&..&
..&&&..&&. My Car Was Black And Loud, Both The .&.&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. Engine And The Way The Parts Didn'T &&&&.&&&.&
&&.&&&&&&. Really Stick Together. I Took My ...&&..&&&
.&&.....&& Crimefriend For Rides, In The Dark, The ..&.&.&...
&.&....&.& Eternal Dark That Seemed To Surround .&&&&&&...
&&&...&&&. Us. She Seemed To Cast This Veil Over &.....&..&
..&..&..&& Everything. Her Black Skirt Reached To &....&&.&.
.&&.&&.&.. Her Knees But Then Somehow Also Back &...&.&&&.
&.&&.&&&.. Around, Enveloping All My Memories Of &..&&&..&.
&&.&&..&.. Our Time Together. &.&..&.&&&
.&&.&.&&.& &&&.&&&...
&.&&&&.&&& There Was Blood Everywhere. Sometimes ..&&..&...
&&...&&..& The Blood Was Her Red Lipstick Or Her .&.&.&&..&
.&..&.&.&& Checkered Shirt. She Was On Television. &&&&&.&.&.
&&.&&&&&.. We Did Crime, And We Made Weird ....&&&&&.
.&&....&.& Structures In The Barn, Tall Pillars Of ...&....&&
&.&...&&&& Dark Wood, Ladders And Plateaus, Fires ..&&...&.&
&&&..&...& And Fairy Lights. We Would Sleep There .&.&..&&&.
..&.&&..&& And Drink There And She Would Go In The &&&&.&..&&
.&&&.&.&.& Television. ...&&&.&.&
&..&&&&&&. ..&..&&&&&
&.&.....&& And Then The Sun Came Out, And She Went .&&.&.....
&&&....&.& Away. Everything Changed... I Yearned, &.&&&....&
..&...&&&& And The World Became Dull Around Me. &&..&...&.
.&&..&...& .&.&&..&&.
&.&.&&..&& I Stopped Doing Crime, Except When &&&.&.&.&.
&&&&.&.&.. Necessarry. Things Somehow Seemed Like ..&&&&&&&&
...&&&&&.. They Were Allright, Moulded In Place, .&........
..&....&.& And I Loathed It ------ I Missed Her &&........
.&&...&&&& So Much. .&........

&&&....&&& &&....&.&.
..&...&... I Searched For Her, But Nobody Had Any .&...&&&&&
.&&..&&..& Memories Of Her. Not So Much Of Me &&..&....&
&.&.&.&.&& Either, From The Time We Were Together. .&.&&...&&
&&&&&&&&.. My Mother Said I Kept To Myself In The &&&.&..&..
.......&.& Barn, Or In The Car. ..&&&.&&.&
......&&&& .&..&&.&&&
.....&...& Sometimes I Could Still See Her &&.&.&&..&
....&&..&& Flashing By On The Tv In The Barn. .&&&&.&.&&
...&.&.&.. Everything Was Black Then, For A &...&&&&.&
..&&&&&&.& Moment. I Remembered Her Laugh And Knew &..&...&&&
.&.....&&& We Had Done Crimes Together, That It &.&&..&..&
&&....&... Had Been Real... &&.&.&&.&&

&.&&...&&. While Ramming The Fence To A Military &&&...&...
&&.&..&.&& Facility. By This Time They Had Been ..&..&&..&
.&&&.&&&.. Chasing Me For Days. I Lost Control .&&.&.&.&.
&..&&..&.& Over The Car, Crashed It Into A Rock &.&&&&&&&.
&.&.&.&&&& Wall And Flew Out The Windshield. &&......&&
&&&&&&...& .&.....&..
.....&..&& And Then I Got Up, And Looked Around. &&....&&.&
