 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.
