00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:01.860 align:middle line:90%
"Air mail".

00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:06.570 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:10.680 align:middle line:84%
"On the hunt--" no, I'll start
with the Swedish, I think,

00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:11.370 align:middle line:90%
this time.

00:00:13.999 --> 00:00:20.000 align:middle line:84%
På jakt efter en brevlåda
bar jag brevet genom stan

00:00:20.050 --> 00:00:27.005 align:middle line:84%
I storskogen av sten och betong
fladdrade denna vilsna fjäril.

00:00:27.005 --> 00:00:32.726 align:middle line:84%
Frimärkets flygande matta
adressens raglande bokstäver

00:00:32.726 --> 00:00:38.900 align:middle line:84%
plus min förseglade sanning -
just nu svävande över havet.

00:00:38.900 --> 00:00:45.606 align:middle line:84%
Atlantens krypande silver.
Molnbankarna. Fiskebåten

00:00:45.606 --> 00:00:52.289 align:middle line:84%
som en utspottad olivkärna.
Och kölvattnets bleka ärr.

00:00:54.001 --> 00:01:00.487 align:middle line:84%
Här nere går arbetet sakta.
Jag sneglar ofta på klockan.

00:01:00.487 --> 00:01:07.063 align:middle line:84%
Trädskuggorna är svarta siffror
i den giriga tystnaden.

00:01:07.063 --> 00:01:13.784 align:middle line:84%
Sanningen finns på marken
men ingen vågar ta den.

00:01:13.784 --> 00:01:20.241 align:middle line:84%
Sanningen ligger på gatan.
Ingen gör den till sin.


00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:22.960 align:middle line:90%
How many know Swedish here?

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:25.790 align:middle line:90%


00:01:25.790 --> 00:01:28.590 align:middle line:90%
Oh, a whole person.

00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:29.090 align:middle line:90%
Good.

00:01:29.090 --> 00:01:30.395 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:30.395 --> 00:01:32.460 align:middle line:90%


00:01:32.460 --> 00:01:33.305 align:middle line:90%
"Air mail".

00:01:33.305 --> 00:01:36.470 align:middle line:90%


00:01:36.470 --> 00:01:42.350 align:middle line:84%
"Hunting for a letterbox, I took
the letter through the city.

00:01:42.350 --> 00:01:46.430 align:middle line:84%
In the big forest of
stone and concrete,

00:01:46.430 --> 00:01:51.530 align:middle line:84%
the straying
butterfly flickered.

00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:57.200 align:middle line:84%
The flying carpet of the
stamp, the staggering lines

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.930 align:middle line:84%
of the address, plus
my own sealed truth

00:02:02.930 --> 00:02:07.670 align:middle line:90%
soaring now over the ocean.

00:02:07.670 --> 00:02:12.470 align:middle line:84%
The Atlantic's creeping
silver, the cloud banks,

00:02:12.470 --> 00:02:17.480 align:middle line:84%
the fishing boat like
a spat-out olive stone,

00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:20.000 align:middle line:90%
and the pale scar of its wake.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.580 align:middle line:90%


00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:26.060 align:middle line:90%
Down here, work goes slowly.

00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:29.450 align:middle line:90%
I ogle the clock often.

00:02:29.450 --> 00:02:31.490 align:middle line:90%
The tree shadows and black--

00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:35.135 align:middle line:84%
are black ciphers in
the greedy silence.

00:02:35.135 --> 00:02:38.030 align:middle line:90%


00:02:38.030 --> 00:02:41.270 align:middle line:84%
The truth is there
on the ground,

00:02:41.270 --> 00:02:44.810 align:middle line:90%
but no one wants to take it.

00:02:44.810 --> 00:02:48.080 align:middle line:84%
The truth is there
on the street.

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.400 align:middle line:90%
No one makes it his own."
