           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.
