00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000 align:middle line:90%
Here's another poem.

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.000 align:middle line:84%
Essentially, what is
cool about human life

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.150 align:middle line:84%
is a necessity to choose between
two different kinds of life.

00:00:11.150 --> 00:00:15.050 align:middle line:84%
And one can describe
that choice also

00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:19.730 align:middle line:84%
between the world of the fathers
and the world of the mother.

00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:23.930 align:middle line:84%
And very, very-- when
you see a poet, when

00:00:23.930 --> 00:00:26.480 align:middle line:84%
you see someone comes to you
and begins to read poetry,

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.120 align:middle line:84%
you know that you're seeing
a man who is essentially

00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.689 align:middle line:84%
on the side of the mother,
using mothers in the wide term

00:00:32.689 --> 00:00:33.800 align:middle line:90%
that Jung uses it.

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:37.670 align:middle line:84%
On the side of women, he's a
man that's interested in music.

00:00:37.670 --> 00:00:39.620 align:middle line:90%
He's interested in inward life.

00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:41.750 align:middle line:90%
He's interested in independence.

00:00:41.750 --> 00:00:45.140 align:middle line:90%
He's interested in water.

00:00:45.140 --> 00:00:47.840 align:middle line:84%
And there are other
men who are interested

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.540 align:middle line:84%
and obey the world
of the fathers.

00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:53.000 align:middle line:84%
But these people rarely
come to speak to you.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.520 align:middle line:84%
Or if they do, they don't
talk about what they believe.

00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.740 align:middle line:84%
Instead, they talk
about numbers.

00:00:57.740 --> 00:01:01.050 align:middle line:84%
Or they talk-- give you
the size of their income.

00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:05.080 align:middle line:84%
And these are men who do what
their father tells them to do.

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:07.793 align:middle line:84%
And if he says, cut off
your leg and give me to--

00:01:07.793 --> 00:01:09.460 align:middle line:84%
give it to me, they'll
cut off their leg

00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:11.540 align:middle line:90%
and they'll give it to him.

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:13.810 align:middle line:84%
And if he says, be a cashier,
they'll be a cashier.

00:01:13.810 --> 00:01:15.460 align:middle line:90%
They become a cashier.

00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:19.330 align:middle line:84%
And if the father says, go to
Vietnam, they go to Vietnam.

00:01:19.330 --> 00:01:23.290 align:middle line:84%
And these are the football
players of the world.

00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:27.730 align:middle line:84%
The jet fighter
pilot seems to amass.

00:01:27.730 --> 00:01:31.831 align:middle line:84%
And in this poem, I'm going
to let one of these men speak.

00:01:31.831 --> 00:01:35.100 align:middle line:90%
It's called "A Busy Man Speaks."

00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:38.400 align:middle line:90%
It's related to the businessman.

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:39.720 align:middle line:90%
"Well, the businessman speaks.

00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:44.220 align:middle line:84%
And he says, not to
the mother of solitude

00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:47.550 align:middle line:90%
will I give myself away.

00:01:47.550 --> 00:01:50.280 align:middle line:90%
Not to the mother of law.

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.520 align:middle line:90%
Nor the mother of conversation.

00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:56.190 align:middle line:90%
Nor the mother of ought.

00:01:56.190 --> 00:01:58.860 align:middle line:90%
Nor the mother of tears.

00:01:58.860 --> 00:02:01.920 align:middle line:90%
Nor the mother of the ocean.

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.770 align:middle line:90%
Not to the mother of sorrow.

00:02:04.770 --> 00:02:08.310 align:middle line:84%
Nor the mother of
the downcast face.

00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:11.610 align:middle line:84%
Nor the mother of the
suffering of death.

00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:14.910 align:middle line:84%
Not to the mother of the
night full of cricket.

00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:17.850 align:middle line:84%
Nor the mother of
the open field.

00:02:17.850 --> 00:02:20.115 align:middle line:90%
Nor the mother of Christ.

00:02:20.115 --> 00:02:22.630 align:middle line:90%


00:02:22.630 --> 00:02:28.540 align:middle line:84%
But I will give myself to
the father of righteousness,

00:02:28.540 --> 00:02:32.560 align:middle line:84%
who is also the father of
cheerfulness, who is also

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.860 align:middle line:84%
the father of rocks, who is also
the father of perfect gesture.

00:02:38.860 --> 00:02:44.800 align:middle line:84%
From the Chase National Bank,
an arm of flame has come.

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.720 align:middle line:84%
And I am drawn to the desert,
to the parched places,

00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:53.320 align:middle line:90%
through the landscape of zero.

00:02:53.320 --> 00:02:58.420 align:middle line:84%
And I shall give myself away
to the father of righteousness,

00:02:58.420 --> 00:03:03.100 align:middle line:84%
the stones of cheerfulness,
the steel of money,

00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:06.030 align:middle line:90%
the father of rock."

00:03:06.030 --> 00:03:07.194 align:middle line:90%
