 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.
