###&&%:~,¨ everything is completely  calm  and dead ¨,~:%&&###

###&&%:~,¨ there are circles and crosses  inscribed ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨ all over my  vision, pressing in,  being ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨ almost hostile. i  can feel them squirm, ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨    their internal logic changing and     ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨ grinding trenches in my mind. it's  like ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨ language,  sentences i can't hide  from, ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨ forcefully transcribed in  my  mind, and ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨           doing damage there.            ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨                                          ¨,~:%&&###

###&&%:~,¨      because there's something there     ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨    already, droning everything out, a    ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨ rapid  melody,  almost  caustic in  it's ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨         particular microtonality.        ¨¨,~:%&&##

###&&%:~,¨ i feel  helpless,  but  i  must  try  to ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨ escape. to crawl  on the floor searching ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨ relief, such  is  my nature. turning the ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨    lights on does nothing... getting     ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨  outside does nothing... drinking water  ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨ does  noting...  but  time does  - after ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨     thirty seconds i'm normal again,     ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨ doubting  anything  of  this happened in ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨             the first place.             ¨,~:%&&###

###&&%:~,¨ i  guess?  i  shouldn't  be  so reckless ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨              when dreaming?              ¨¨,~:%&&##
###&&%:~,¨ i  imagine a  prick on the  nose, that's ¨,~:%&&###
##&&%:~,¨¨ what these are.  like you do with a  cat ¨¨,~:%&&##
