 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.
