 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.
