some things seem solid to me, permanent and unchangeable,
long time i dreamt of heavy device and big movements, words like protest or resistance, believing that it would need emptiness to be able to create something new.

looking at the ordinary, the seemingly insignificant, the kitchen-table-sized with a slightly tilted head,i've found that it doesn't take much more than that.

some melting stones, a scratched surface, some greasy stains, traces of pigment on the wall, a quiet hiss of the air escaping a tyre.
