 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.
