00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.140 align:middle line:90%
Arrivals and Departures.

00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:08.130 align:middle line:84%
The terminal echoes in the
ears of a single traveler as

00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:11.370 align:middle line:84%
meaningless as the
rumble of the universe.

00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:15.090 align:middle line:84%
Holding his portmanteau,
he is anxious to define

00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:18.630 align:middle line:84%
the blur, the muted
converse of those messages

00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:23.550 align:middle line:84%
that fly into the ceiling's
vault. Distorted and perverse.

00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:27.540 align:middle line:84%
Coming and going, rocking
and waves of after action,

00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:30.840 align:middle line:84%
groups pass him in the
arrogance of numbers.

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:33.510 align:middle line:84%
Back of the stands
of merchandise,

00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:37.200 align:middle line:84%
the satisfaction of those who
are certain of their hours,

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.760 align:middle line:84%
and the occasional slumbers of
those with faith in sequence

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.420 align:middle line:84%
or those without hope,
make him more desolate.

00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:49.770 align:middle line:84%
Until he seeks the dirty
coffee bar's distraction.

00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:52.530 align:middle line:84%
Huddled before a hand
with a gray rag that

00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:54.990 align:middle line:84%
wipes the counter,
he asks for what

00:00:54.990 --> 00:01:00.180 align:middle line:84%
he has no hunger for and drinks
and eats it as the sacrament.

00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:04.560 align:middle line:84%
His departures and arrivals,
with some fluctuation in amount

00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.480 align:middle line:90%
are calculable.

00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.620 align:middle line:84%
But of the variations and terror
that are the accompaniment,

00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:12.090 align:middle line:90%
he cannot know.

00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:16.110 align:middle line:84%
Indeed, he never knows
if he has come too far,

00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:20.715 align:middle line:84%
but holds the stub that
proves that he has spent.

00:01:20.715 --> 00:01:21.215 align:middle line:90%
