00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:05.220 align:middle line:84%
And the other one, which is
addressed to a part of us which

00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:10.878 align:middle line:84%
may be more immediately
recognizable, which

00:00:10.878 --> 00:00:13.170 align:middle line:84%
I hope is so simple that
nothing need be said about it,

00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:14.420 align:middle line:90%
is a poem called "The Thread."

00:00:14.420 --> 00:00:19.350 align:middle line:90%


00:00:19.350 --> 00:00:23.460 align:middle line:84%
Unrolling the black
thread through the tunnel,

00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:26.850 align:middle line:84%
you come to the
wide wall of shoes.

00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:30.120 align:middle line:84%
The soles standing out
in the air you breathe,

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:36.180 align:middle line:84%
crowded from side to side,
floor to ceiling, and no names,

00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:40.110 align:middle line:84%
and no door, and the
bodies stacked before them

00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:41.580 align:middle line:90%
like bottles.

00:00:41.580 --> 00:00:48.630 align:middle line:84%
Generation upon generation upon
generation with their friends,

00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:51.150 align:middle line:84%
all the way to the
end of the mountain,

00:00:51.150 --> 00:00:57.210 align:middle line:84%
the beginning of time, the
light of day, the bird.

00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:00.900 align:middle line:84%
And you are unrolling
the Sybil's song,

00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:05.060 align:middle line:84%
that is trying to reach
her, beyond your dead.

00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:06.090 align:middle line:90%
