##,#,#,,#,  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.   ##,##,,##,

##,####,,,   and i loathed it ------ i missed her   ##,,,,,###

,,#,,####, either, from the time we were together.  ,#,##,#,#,
,##,#,,,##  my mother said i kept to myself in the  ###,#####,

,,#,##,###     everything was black then, for a     ,,###,#,,#

##,#,#,,#,  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   #,#,,##,,#
