00:00:01.380 --> 00:00:06.300 align:middle line:84%
So you see these are
all one sentence that's

00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:10.800 align:middle line:84%
held together with commas
and sometimes semicolons.

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.930 align:middle line:84%
And I think the writer just
reached the end of each line

00:00:15.930 --> 00:00:19.680 align:middle line:84%
and kept on going without
a carriage returns.

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:22.720 align:middle line:84%
So that makes the lines that
make up these sentences very,

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:24.600 align:middle line:90%
very long.

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.450 align:middle line:90%
And this is poem W.

00:00:29.450 --> 00:00:33.860 align:middle line:84%
"In the very essence of poetry,
there is something indecent.

and Lillian Vallee.

00:00:39.470 --> 00:00:41.390 align:middle line:90%
And what if I change the rhythm?

00:00:41.390 --> 00:00:44.480 align:middle line:84%
Can can decimated
by a dog days blaze,

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:48.320 align:middle line:84%
so symbolic it smells old
like a dead man's clothes,

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.790 align:middle line:84%
fear entranced by its invading
morning, gang of thugs freshly

00:00:52.790 --> 00:00:53.600 align:middle line:90%
created.

00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:58.100 align:middle line:84%
Spear point languidly de-listing
with a tacit workaday law.

00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:01.070 align:middle line:84%
Hodgepodge features
of water and skin.

00:01:01.070 --> 00:01:03.140 align:middle line:90%
Ankle, elbow, calf.

00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:05.960 align:middle line:84%
And down below, the
dogs of a cultured hell

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:08.720 align:middle line:84%
pulling off pieces,
mind the wrist,

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:13.280 align:middle line:84%
the thigh, light from all of
them, barking from 10 to 12,

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.780 align:middle line:90%
biting their own shadows.

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:18.800 align:middle line:84%
They try to mimic the origins
of a single legendary hatred.

00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:21.830 align:middle line:84%
Brother and other,
my first day was

00:01:21.830 --> 00:01:24.740 align:middle line:84%
itching to swamp the light
it came from when it sounded

00:01:24.740 --> 00:01:28.010 align:middle line:84%
like a parade of happy
children at recess, roaring

00:01:28.010 --> 00:01:31.790 align:middle line:84%
its blind, blue measure
between swing and summit,

00:01:31.790 --> 00:01:35.250 align:middle line:84%
gouging an eye on
steel, watching me.

00:01:35.250 --> 00:01:36.990 align:middle line:90%
I didn't make that animal.

00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:39.860 align:middle line:84%
I gave light, not
legs, tentative,

00:01:39.860 --> 00:01:42.140 align:middle line:84%
dancing the distance
from house to house.

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:43.400 align:middle line:90%
I didn't do it.

00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.890 align:middle line:84%
My lies had time
enough to expand,

00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:49.070 align:middle line:84%
invented their own Great
Wall, neighboring nation,

00:01:49.070 --> 00:01:52.100 align:middle line:84%
bastard currency,
even a different snow,

00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:55.760 align:middle line:84%
fragmented, barely white,
their own no man's land.

00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.010 align:middle line:90%
Yesterday, I almost lost my way.

00:01:58.010 --> 00:01:59.970 align:middle line:84%
Correct me if I'm
wrong, brother.

00:01:59.970 --> 00:02:03.890 align:middle line:84%
How many steps turns heel
taps can can flaring?

00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:06.380 align:middle line:84%
I pace my house as
if it were yours.

00:02:06.380 --> 00:02:08.570 align:middle line:84%
You have touched
me with the music

00:02:08.570 --> 00:02:10.310 align:middle line:90%
in a corner of your voice.

00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:11.690 align:middle line:90%
Behind me it goes.

00:02:11.690 --> 00:02:14.750 align:middle line:84%
Not a melody, today's
life, Tuesdays,

00:02:14.750 --> 00:02:19.190 align:middle line:84%
rings and is consoled by the
smallest conceited space.

00:02:19.190 --> 00:02:23.180 align:middle line:84%
Under tables, under
chairs, a different dust,

00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:24.980 align:middle line:90%
a smarter sound.

00:02:24.980 --> 00:02:29.840 align:middle line:84%
Absolved dog, holy water
dog, tooth in a slice of sun.

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.610 align:middle line:90%
I saw so much here.

00:02:31.610 --> 00:02:34.160 align:middle line:84%
If I change, I'll
be one too many.

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:38.230 align:middle line:84%
One more stone on
the pile of people.

00:02:38.230 --> 00:02:40.000 align:middle line:90%
