¨¨¨###¨¨#¨ 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. #¨##¨¨¨#¨#
