Present/Absent 
Pass through an everyday environment along an everyday route, preferably one you yourself take often. Write down everything you must touch along that route. Do not discount things touched by other non-hand appendages, track them all! The objects may be named by material or by object name (eg: leather vs. glove). Narrate your movement utilizing only letters included in the written-down words. Narrate your movement using only letters excluded from those words consistently in prose or poetry. Include the process of writing in your texts.
These will produce two parallel and simultaneous texts: one which describes presence and one which extracts the absence within that description.

Start at the concrete on street-crossing. A snowless, iceless path forging to the entrance of glass, metal, grey paint with floor serrations catching melting water. The floor, concrete with white walls. Open the entrance, grey on metal, the key makes noise. Scale the stairs, which open to a room. Scale them. Sit, unpack work material. Take preliminary notes. Un-scale stairs for coffee. Get in line. One Americano-Americano for a toonie fraction. Wait aside. Hot water sloshes. Scale the stairs. Take a seat. Write notes.

Air.
Not too cotton.
Loop steps stop lest styles test polyester.
Low wool.
Met late, tell metal.
Glass slag lags, sags.
Plastic class still lasts, it clasps static.
Ceramic ice race, ma amie a mirer
Eco coffee,
In skin,
Hair.

Nouns left excluded oxygen
A list weaves disparate flashes 
Making? Flinging? Mixing?
Intertwined and distributed inside
On our own ground
Concrete under feet
No food odour over here 
No posts through
Stray light abuts stairs as mass
Deferred movement prepared
To keep coffee
