 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.
