00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:04.380 align:middle line:90%
"In the Night Desert."

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:12.510 align:middle line:84%
The Apache word for love
twists then numbs the tongue.

00:00:12.510 --> 00:00:20.340 align:middle line:84%
Uttered once clear said,
never that word again.

00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:23.910 align:middle line:84%
Cousin you call or
sister and one more word

00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:30.510 align:middle line:84%
that spins in the dust, a
flake chipped like obsidian.

00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:36.330 align:middle line:84%
The girl who hears this flake
and follows you into the dark

00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:38.610 align:middle line:90%
turns at a touch.

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:41.565 align:middle line:84%
The night desert
forever behind her back.

00:00:41.565 --> 00:00:45.360 align:middle line:90%


00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.100 align:middle line:84%
One place where I was managing
the philosophy department,

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.750 align:middle line:90%
came to a number of meetings.

00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:54.300 align:middle line:90%
It was several days' thing.

00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:59.220 align:middle line:90%
And this poem was read.

00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:00.810 align:middle line:90%
And he was friendly.

00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:02.640 align:middle line:84%
But, afterward,
he came up to me,

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.320 align:middle line:84%
and he said, what is the
Apache word for love?

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:10.770 align:middle line:90%
And I said, I have no idea.

00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:14.880 align:middle line:84%
And it didn't seem
right to a philosopher.

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:19.020 align:middle line:84%
But I tell this story simply
because I still don't know.

00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:20.730 align:middle line:84%
And I'm sort of
afraid to find out.

00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:21.470 align:middle line:90%
You know?

00:01:21.470 --> 00:01:23.160 align:middle line:90%
I'd just assume not.

00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:25.590 align:middle line:84%
I think it's a different
kind of project.

00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:29.000 align:middle line:84%
All I know is what
it ought to be like.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.239 align:middle line:90%
