Immaterial.

It is shapeless, has no mass , u could almost call it bayobiyo ie, made of air. But even air is a mixture of various gasses, gasses which have some elemental properties, constituted of atoms, molecules etc. I do not know what constitutes it. But can't you feel it? I do not hope to receive an answer but nevertheless i ask , i ask myself. I have seen it wait , wait for hours for a certain slightly bluish grey or brownblack staircase. It is weightless , it is no matter at all. So it faces no obstacles when it tries to cross the threshold of the door. You may not see or feel it but it does linger beside your table,stroke your eyelids gently and finally gets absorbed by the walls. I have seen some of you trying to trace its source. Did you really feel its presence or were you just guessing or better still, searching? The quest is meaningless, it has nothing to offer.That is the reason why u see dull quinine white stare back at you. Not only have i seen it enter that room but also i have been witness to its proximity to terracotta coloured rectangles. With extreme, almost enviable ease it landed on the slope and spread itself softly along the diagonals. You will never want to taste it of course. You can't, can u?Its immaterial, made of moonbeam stuff,undefined or in other words infinity. But for unidentified reasons i have begun to believe that it is salty, irredeemably salty.
