 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.
