your teeth falling out of your
head.
  17:25 24 NOV 2025
after travelling, a mal- aise settles on arrival. all those logistics past. no line of flight presents. things sit ahead in a blurred mass. behind

is a blur. those masses draw energy out. a narrative compulsion catches you in the form of some project you could undertake if you were able. if. to write. to find a way of life. is to cut– those pre-occupations. fall away. fall in. in the way it is necessary to withdrawn attention from celebrities and authorities, also withdraw from images of pasts and futures. past and future plans. proje[c]ts. images of coherence. of endurance. fall. be near ground. allow time to curdle. nothing smooth is left. the kind of rough surface that sets your teeth on edge, passing tiredly. some houses, like the one M talks about, keep you off balance – their surfaces and sightlines are unstable. nothing settles. there are no sheets, arms, furnitures to hold the body. to warm it. to reflect a coherent image. fall apart[.] as you fall, a kind of nost-algia can trouble you. a

sense of order that was lost. in the way an infant undoes time, be undone. be prepared, Amy Sharrocks said, to be changed.
you ate artichokes by the river Matarranya. it was warm in the sun. obstacles beset you. you could not get the tools you need. you get some. some not. un certainty marks these times. you are lost, you think. as in the a dark wood. mushrooms appear by track, you rem[em]ber, which you either missed before or you are on a different track. when you were lost in peckham wood in september or october, you were able to get back to where you started. turning ar-ound you saw p. you were calling, p was calling. you both gave up. p was not lost. p is

never lost in peckham wood. you are commonly lost. following from here to here looking for mushrooms, you are quickly disorientated. your sense of direction and scale[.] you think of your father. of Jacques Roubaud. memory collapses. the architecture of memory collapses. those moments give a sense of how that will be. how it is, you think. you're lying on your back. out of ideas. in the next room you heear p. poking the fire. cracking nuts. you re thinking of pierre. when he first came to the house. the way he listened to what was going on in the space adjoining. where he couldn t see. howyou closed him in max's room and he appeared on the top of the cupboard. how thin and small he was then. they told you he had never been outside. he had fur under his feet, they said. at CHAT. how timid he was. to go out. waiting for somebody to be with him. leaving pierre in lond-on, you thought what you

are doing is wrong. the way you feel is a sign it is wrong. reproducing hist-ories of leaving. ruthless cuts. neither nor did you want to stay in london any more. where you were tired out. here also you are tired out but. life, if anything, grabs more tightly to you, dragging and weighing. you went to the growers market in bayonne. the river was wider and faster than any you would remember – full of curls and glossy patches. an inconceivable mass of water passing. that restaurant you went to – Atlas – to eat couscous and tagine, and a bean soup with cumin. the waiter was like a father, taking care of you. the way S cared for you. cares. how he worried at times you would collapse. now he care[s] for M in the same way. how you bring suffering wherever you go. a[s] p is saying. how you can see Marion working to hold that away. a thing

too hard to bear. when no remediation is possible. no time and strength rem-ains. amy sharrock coming into iklectic with that wolf hound of hers! fiercely hopeful – p is hopeful, she says. she enacts hopefulness, she says. she confronts your despair with that enactment. your d dispirit she can't under-stand, she says. understanding flee[s]. it's dark outside. the orange street light is on. if p could leave. but where. after 10 months inside you, the Habeme told Lina, all F wants is to get back inside. think of that exhibit in the science mus-eum which compare[] the migrant to a potted plant. how tears broke out in your eyes. how you hadn't though[t] of that. how your tears betrayed you. losing desire or ability to return, be lost. weep. blush. fluids rise in the body, showing its fluid composition. sweat.
shed drops. falling is optimistic, your father said. people fall,

old people especially, on uneven ground. p fell and cut her mouth. that was a long time ago, while gard-ening. [Jacques Roubaud fainted and fell fainting during his military service in Algeria. he invented the secret hunger strike, he said.] p's parents fall. your parents fall. they get back up. you imagine they lie there. the someti one time your father could not get up. he lay on the kitchen floor. your mother brought a bed roll beside him. they lay on the tiles together. in the morning a neighbour helped your father up. since he stopped that medication he falls less. fall like tears
you hear the heating system running. the nights are cold. you re laying in thick clothes. with a hat. the saying: to be laid low. to be down. you are not on the ground. you are one storey up. the xx a whole machinery flout you, architectures support b bodies that lie prone. they approximate to

down. when the sun is moving to the far side of
the earth the night is cold. arnes is some hundreds of metre[] above sea level. neither lowland nor montane, the population of arnes occupy an in between area water rushes through the soil and olive trees root and extend upward. the depth of life can appear thi thin. Amelia showed you a house with an under-croft. in the undercroft was a car belonging to her u a relative. and a horse wagon belonging to her father.
if time is established by marks, at other times it melts. you passed through an area of snow and trees coated in ice around Le Mans. the cold bit into you. a week ago it was 29°, they said in Bayonne. the waiter at Atlas restaurant gave you

red wine without alcohol to drink. it was like being at home. the soup was bubbling in an earthenware dish. olives. all surplus unnecessary acts and object[s]. how a long hard travelling in the cold lets you know how hospitality works. what culture is. how it is done – moved between people. how exchanges bind, working against the grain. of the differences you have most in common (Fred Dewey: School of Public Life). how those are actualised. turned to use. how a surplus is caused to exist among people which can serve as a binder. an approximation (Ella Finer). the cook came out of the kitchen and put on the news. you stood up and put on your coats. you paid and said thank you. you
went out. nobody there was from there in that little rest-
aurant room somebody brought

their take[]way back on a tray. w writing extends like a plant (Ponge), collaging quotations (cento – Sasha). from canto to cento. fragmentary. broken. it s late. it feels late. go see what can be done. if anything is possible now

– Palestine camp by US Embassy

 06 15 6 JAN 2026
bright moonlight. there s enough light to read and write. planes over. no other things heard moving. the floors are cold. a car going down the hill. bodies are not heard
directly. they are near the engines,

protected by their warmth. or they are wrapped in thick bedding inside. or   the plane[] travel from your feet along your bodies, passing over your heads to the west. in a few minutes they will come down over that wood where you had ate soup. at that point their wheels are down. they pass over and down behind the trees and hangars and stores. you passed the freight distribution terminals. people were walking on the highway to or

from work, wearing security lany-ards with their photographs. the air smelled of jet fuel. planes could be heard taking off behind the trees as you walked north toward Southall
tracing feint depressions
in the paper where the
pen ran out. on one side of the shot tower run by the LWT, drawings showed birds and amphibians, including the Edible frog, a hybrid of the Marsh and Pond frogs. it had a yellow line the length of its back. this pen is running out also, writing upside down. on the other side of the shot tower were names of people who died in the gunpower industry, making ammunition. it was described how

one man handed a hot drink burst into flames. at some point in Feltham, near the Texaco station, you started to smell the higher notes of jet fuel. a map in Crude Britannia by James Marriott shows the dedicated pipeline running from tanker ports on the coast to Heathrow. after a while you and Sam had headaches, maybe from inhaling the exhaust gases from the planes and service roads or from the sounds of combustion engines. you invited ppl to in / open house. a small group came. simon had prepared a talk advocating for the work of domestics against aesthetics. liz cleary. becky with May and Iris and 2 smaller children. Tomochan came later with her dog. Sasha. Paula. Sam.

thinking of people lying or standing or getting up along the transit routes of the city and between cities by air and road. the sounds of transit are heard by those inhabitants. the sounds enter their bodies and impact on them in sleep. by listening they are wit-nesses to the movements of powered vehicles. they are closely aware of air pressures. they fight those projects face fierce opposit-ion over decades. if instated, inh-abitants are worn down. thinking of how, at Narita, in addition to to takeoffs and landings, taxiing of aircraft was heard constantly behind the bamboo grove where the activists who died were buried. that high metallic sound of turbos. you heard that at heathrow behind vegetation as a constant rise and fall. get up. drink coffee. make the second side of the Enzo Mari table with sasha. go set up a transmission from the camp by the US embassy. by the road.

those counter rhythms. thinking of gam-elan performances. for patches most of the musicians were gone or sleeping. the performance was maintained by the barest line – a sparse l beat like a spoon thinly. the sky is getting lighter. just blue. you re tired. you track the planes. the way your eyes follow passing land features from a train. some-thing about doing that wears you down. your eyelids close but you are not rested when you arrive.   x ask the dentist to pull out the old brown tooth you have. bake bread
make radio. type the notebooks. get up.
07:45 6 JAN 2026
the coffee tastes of nuts. lights are on in neighbour-ing buildings. bins. front door. feet. there is also placing feet. raking out the

grate. going down to get firewood. if those things are happ-ening in anticipation of aftermath. if they are happening before, after and during, as s is saying maybe, with the 3 footed tongue of raq media collective – to detach outselves from linear timeshistories, as a short phase in a longer organic existence as ahistorical beings or organisms [or matter]. people without clocks. to practice that under the flight-path. through the winter.

I find the description very similar.. although the events were very different..
something which

exceeds us

we become political, we become artists in response to pre[c]ise situation[].. which are carried along in our bodies
     [  ]

to create the conditions for us to become political, become artists
(which) requires a deeply relational
mode of attention.. and to
space.. and time


time becomes multiple and embodied and co-produced. which takes some laying out.

it s bright. you can hear doves calling through the air vent in the bath toilet. sounds move around in this house in surprising ways, appearing here or there. some you[r] catch. others enter semi consciously. the house in this way at times seeming functional and pragmatic, at other times feels like a waking dream. different entities and agencies crop up in it in undemonstrat-

you re sitting up. your eyes close. you re drinking black coffee from a white cup. it s still dark. the house if full of light[s]. the streets are covered in orange light. the central heating system is full of air, you think. a plastic bag rustles. a computer ping.
it s a big house. almost empty. old. you re hear-ing its old systems. how they support human life through the winter. you re thinking about occupation. loss. being beaten. losing. being occupied. living. under occupation. growing old. when occupation ends, you are old. what kinds of freedoms can exist within the matrices of occupation. dances. if the authorities at

any moment can check you. raising the hand: stop. a whole repertoire of gestures. x zad as a liberated zone. to be in the zad (in the bakery) is to be in an area of freedom. if the siku ya uhuru marked a passing of control from one group to another. kenmure street. if the expulsion of police attempting to detain people on kenmure st where s is living also establishes to some extent an autonomous zone. a liberated zone. where a person sits writing. sleeps. lies sleeping. on and off. how. to be checked by the police in a car on a track outside Arnes is to recall a state of occupation. to inhabit the failure to be free. to free yourselves. how other kinds of power also continue in the old houses constructed as life support systems.

in winter. how effects and operations of state work through proxies. how a person sitting in an old house is occupied. they occupy themselves. how, if education otherwise is an
wants to disrupt that situation, little by little or suddenly
the young people involved in those experiments are absorbed or
seized back by usual business. if the house(hold) can be a counter to that in any way at all. how now your house(hold) is dispersed. shattered. despairs. is how it feels. to fail to stop. to be complicit. to be degraded. by contrast, the elation of a direct action has to do with puncturing day to day compliance. these worn loops. how, if there is a revolutionary movement inward, the surrounding violence is untouched. if transmission can disturb those patter[n]s. if it can support, as Lisa Robertson seems to say, as S is saying, other ways to

imagine. to inhabit. those configurations. these. in which you find yourself – feel yourself to be – occupied. (feeling cut off here. nothing useful to do. nothing going on) in winter you work away. keeping warm. in summer –   sparrows ar-
ound the houses

your computer stops working. what you were thinking was, if you can, the abandoned project is a book. no book can be. to stand self contained on its feet. headers and footers. what alternatives there can be. what other ways to find. how at the same time something of the emancipatory fantasy of the abandoned book

can be recuperated, second hand. house of holes. comparing that writing to the (idle) work of sort-ing out an old house. an aband-oned house except by cats. sweeping up cat shit. brushing the walls. starting to make piles of different things. all the time thinking how this house is to be open. it must stay open. the way that house [*] is/was ]  [ to eventualities. different animals. unexpected things   how it can be like that   something like that (approximation)
the computer comes back on on restart.

it s a rainy day in Arnes (skeps)[.] skeps \ hives of wood or cork were used as ornamental planters in the porch of [the] ajuntament. beekeeping has declined in the El Port province.. Rosario and her husand Felipe started beekeeping on their olive field above the Algars river. you talked about wild flowers for forage. if the beekeeping can support a shift to no plowing. if, by placing hives of bees on the field[,] a change of sense occurs – towards perceiving the field from the position of a flying insect. a collective organism. towards the plural.
