Mathematically valueless. It's a fat number.
Its worth is debatable and conceptual.
It can't be understood unless you're part of the race to that figure. It's laborious trying to crack this code but rewarding nevertheless.
Pieces begin to materialise. But I still can't see the shape you're trying to convey to me.
Shout. It remains indiscernible.
Wail. Still latent.
Try switching your lights on.
Leave them to burn.
Then blaze the dormant mask away.
Ash, soot and flesh cover the tiled floor and walls.
Your superfluous exterior coating: gone.
Spot on.

The best source
Satisfied and brimful with alacrity, I am no longer hungry.
My appetite is concealed within my teeth: clenched in a grin.
There's a storm but it moved East. I felt the clouds leave.
Breathless but zealous, I held on tight. The gale can't take me back to the eye.
Current resistance.
I blundered into your disturbance and misplaced my vision.
I've walked asleep into brick walls and minefields. It's so easy to sleep through the alarms.
But I emerged enlightened.
When you mislay one sense, another intensifies.
After the tempest passed, everything was amplified
and I could hear exactly what I wanted to be.

Bad signal
We've left numerous messages that won't get through. The smoke has caused a break in the line.
You're cracking up.
I'm not.
The marks on the floor aren't emergency contacts.
They're spillages of sanity.
Each drop collected the drop before it and united as a flood.
A social gathering of deceptive globules.
The murky puddle didn't cause a trip. It just absorbed you and drowned most of your mentality.
No one can get through to you.
That can't be a good sign.

Opaque eyes
Once encouraged and motivated, I am now frozen.
Halted, I am drawn by a human current to the deepest part of the circle.
Somehow, I still float in this whirlpool and my eyes are focused on various cryptic grimaces and frowns.
Facial features sinking inward and downward haunt my lights.
Blue lights are a blur; the sirens are a piercing din.
Worn away faces bearing black holes for eyes where the emotion flowed out, stare.
Evasive expressions can't judge; can't console; cannot see.
Modifying my size to fit the different frames of mind.
I can't fight my way out and I can't let anyone in.
My mind and my body can't agree on a pulse. No longer stirred, I am shaken.
