This is called "Touching the
King of Spain Underwater."

00:00:06.880 --> 00:00:11.860 align:middle line:84%
"He was a coral reef
and I, the barrier.

00:00:11.860 --> 00:00:14.590 align:middle line:90%
A divided concept.

00:00:14.590 --> 00:00:19.750 align:middle line:84%
Words that work
against each other.

00:00:19.750 --> 00:00:23.200 align:middle line:84%
I once thought of
water as time or space,

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:25.900 align:middle line:84%
that it supported and
suspended the fans

00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:29.410 align:middle line:84%
of moving creatures,
great banks of snails,

00:00:29.410 --> 00:00:34.270 align:middle line:84%
drifting towards rays of
light-colored angelfish.

00:00:34.270 --> 00:00:36.940 align:middle line:84%
The dark clack of
morays like dead

00:00:36.940 --> 00:00:41.290 align:middle line:84%
leaves on the ground, hidden
under the alien barefoot.

00:00:41.290 --> 00:00:47.320 align:middle line:84%
I dreamed water was touching
my lips when I was thirsty,

00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:54.280 align:middle line:84%
but could only know the time,
and space, and water aside.

00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:00.700 align:middle line:84%
You were there once, and
touched me like water,

00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:04.900 align:middle line:84%
and are not there
now to touch me.

00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:08.710 align:middle line:90%
All those concepts are vanished.

00:01:08.710 --> 00:01:13.210 align:middle line:84%
Water evaporated on a
hot day, or dammed up

00:01:13.210 --> 00:01:16.930 align:middle line:84%
on the other side of
some big mountain range.

00:01:16.930 --> 00:01:25.710 align:middle line:84%
He was a coral reef, I, the
barrier, poetry, some ocean."
