 still unknown to me, other  than through 
    dreams*. apparently made for making   
 holes. they may be dark and  monochrome. 
               they may not.              
                                          
 white  powder,  dosed  by  way  of  key? 
                                          
                                        
  
                                        
                                          
 *a  red  cylinder,  wide  as  a  finger. 
      glossy freckled ceramics, with      
      something organic inside, being     
 corrupted before your eyes  - turning to 
 ash, but  there's no flame. you  hold it 
 up to  your  nose,  suck  it  in with  a 
 sharp   inhale.  exit  to  the  balcony. 
                                          
 here  on  the fifth  floor, with a  view 
 over  the  parking   lot,  things  start 
       folding into each other, like      
  collapsing a cardboard box. dimensions  
    becoming flat and adjacent. pressed   
 into each other. creases  are  flattened 
 out,  distances disappear, the  world is 
 mangled  down  to  two  dimensions.  and 
 suddenly  light  falls on  the  edge  of 
 everything  rather  than the surface: it 
        all goes completely dark.
