00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:05.670 align:middle line:84%
This is actually a
Pacific Californian poem

00:00:05.670 --> 00:00:09.540 align:middle line:90%
coming from the Pacific sea.

00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:12.120 align:middle line:90%
"Men cursing the sea."

00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:14.880 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.320 align:middle line:84%
"Someone just climbed
to the top of the cliff

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.300 align:middle line:90%
and started cursing the sea.

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:26.130 align:middle line:90%
Stupid water.

00:00:26.130 --> 00:00:28.800 align:middle line:90%
Stupid pregnant water.

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.410 align:middle line:90%
Slimy copy of the sky.

00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:34.770 align:middle line:84%
Hesitant hoverer between
the sun and moon.

00:00:34.770 --> 00:00:37.440 align:middle line:84%
Petty fogging
reckoner of shells.

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:41.610 align:middle line:84%
Fluid, loudmouthed bull
fertilizing the rocks

00:00:41.610 --> 00:00:42.990 align:middle line:90%
with his blood.

00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:48.450 align:middle line:84%
Suicidal swirl splintering
itself on any promontory.

00:00:48.450 --> 00:00:52.500 align:middle line:84%
A hydra fragmenting
the night, breathing

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:56.040 align:middle line:84%
salty clouds of
silence, spreading jelly

00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:59.520 align:middle line:90%
like wings in vain, in vain.

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.450 align:middle line:90%
Gorgon devouring its own body.

00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:08.010 align:middle line:84%
Water, you observed
flat school of water.

00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:10.940 align:middle line:90%


00:01:10.940 --> 00:01:14.260 align:middle line:84%
Thus, for a while,
he cursed the sea,

00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:21.220 align:middle line:84%
which licked his footprints in
the sand like a wounded dog.

00:01:21.220 --> 00:01:25.300 align:middle line:84%
And then he came
down and strolled

00:01:25.300 --> 00:01:31.390 align:middle line:84%
the small immense stormy
mirror of the sea.

00:01:31.390 --> 00:01:36.475 align:middle line:84%
There you are, water, he
said, and went his way."

00:01:36.475 --> 00:01:40.240 align:middle line:90%


00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:43.920 align:middle line:84%
Cursing in a foreign language
I found especially difficult.

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.000 align:middle line:90%
