 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.
