 Here's a suggestion (in monotonic system):

 _                  '                      \   '
>_ \/    ()< () \/ |/|     |/| \/    ()    /\ () \/ () (
             |  /\   |       |                   ()     )

 I know the "epsilon" isn't that good, but I couldn't figure out a better
2-line-epsilon :(
