One last poem called "Poem."

00:00:05.715 --> 00:00:12.200 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:15.170 align:middle line:84%
This poem is not
addressed to you.

00:00:15.170 --> 00:00:18.020 align:middle line:90%
You may come into it briefly.

00:00:18.020 --> 00:00:22.520 align:middle line:84%
But no one will find
you here, no one.

00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:25.310 align:middle line:84%
You will have changed
before the poem will.

00:00:25.310 --> 00:00:27.920 align:middle line:90%


00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.440 align:middle line:84%
Even while you sit
there unmovable,

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.509 align:middle line:90%
you have begun to vanish.

00:00:32.509 --> 00:00:35.150 align:middle line:90%
And it does not matter.

00:00:35.150 --> 00:00:37.820 align:middle line:90%
The poem will go on without you.

00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:42.440 align:middle line:84%
It has the spurious
glamor of certain voids.

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:45.860 align:middle line:84%
It is not sad
really, only empty.

00:00:45.860 --> 00:00:49.790 align:middle line:84%
Once perhaps it was
sad, no one knows why.

00:00:49.790 --> 00:00:52.730 align:middle line:90%
It prefers to remember nothing.

00:00:52.730 --> 00:00:56.960 align:middle line:84%
Nostalgias were peeled
from it long ago.

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.410 align:middle line:84%
Your type of beauty
has no place here.

00:01:00.410 --> 00:01:03.710 align:middle line:90%
Night is the sky over this poem.

00:01:03.710 --> 00:01:06.740 align:middle line:90%
It is too black for stars.

00:01:06.740 --> 00:01:09.690 align:middle line:84%
And do not look for
any illumination.

00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:13.340 align:middle line:84%
You neither can or should
understand what it means.

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:17.870 align:middle line:84%
Listen, it comes without
guitar, neither in rags,

00:01:17.870 --> 00:01:20.450 align:middle line:90%
nor any purple fashion.

00:01:20.450 --> 00:01:23.510 align:middle line:84%
And there is nothing
in it to comfort you.

00:01:23.510 --> 00:01:26.270 align:middle line:90%
Close your eyes, yawn.

00:01:26.270 --> 00:01:28.700 align:middle line:90%
It will be over soon.

00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:29.990 align:middle line:90%
You will forget the poem.

00:01:29.990 --> 00:01:32.780 align:middle line:84%
But not before it
is forgotten you.

00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:34.560 align:middle line:90%
And it does not matter.

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.090 align:middle line:84%
It has been most beautiful
and its vivacious.

00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:42.680 align:middle line:84%
Oh, bleached mirrors,
oceans of the drowned.

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.170 align:middle line:84%
And it does not
matter what you think.

00:01:45.170 --> 00:01:47.000 align:middle line:90%
These are not my words now.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.420 align:middle line:84%
This poem is not
addressed to you.

00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:10.500 align:middle line:90%
Can you help?

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:11.234 align:middle line:90%
I can't--

00:02:11.234 --> 00:02:12.480 align:middle line:90%
Let me help you.

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:16.110 align:middle line:90%
Silly things is--

00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:16.620 align:middle line:90%
There it is.

00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:19.380 align:middle line:90%
OK, thanks.

00:02:24.460 --> 00:02:26.170 align:middle line:84%

appropriate to repeat
