00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.550 align:middle line:84%
Now I'd like to read a poem
which started in my mind

00:00:02.550 --> 00:00:03.690 align:middle line:90%
just as a phrase.

00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:06.600 align:middle line:84%
The phrase Blue Lake
I've been interested

00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:08.470 align:middle line:90%
for some time in mirror images.

00:00:08.470 --> 00:00:11.970 align:middle line:84%
The way that if you have two
mirrors at either end of a room

00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:14.820 align:middle line:90%
you are reproduced to infinity.

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.800 align:middle line:84%
Though, I sometimes
imagine that perhaps

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.230 align:middle line:84%
in the very, very
small images of me,

00:00:19.230 --> 00:00:22.300 align:middle line:90%
some distortion takes place.

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:23.730 align:middle line:84%
When I had this
phrase in my mind

00:00:23.730 --> 00:00:26.460 align:middle line:84%
Blue Lake I wanted
to see how far I

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:28.200 align:middle line:90%
could take it in this way.

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:31.740 align:middle line:84%
How far idea would
lead on to idea.

00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:37.140 align:middle line:84%
So, this is the
result, "Blue Lake."

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:42.960 align:middle line:84%
Picture a man or a woman in
a deck chair by a blue lake,

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.840 align:middle line:90%
reading a poetry book.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.070 align:middle line:84%
Suddenly, a knee jerks in
surprise at finding a poem

00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:52.890 align:middle line:90%
called Blue Lake.

00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:58.410 align:middle line:84%
About a man or a woman in a
deck chair by a blue lake,

00:00:58.410 --> 00:01:01.020 align:middle line:90%
reading a poetry book.

00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:04.830 align:middle line:84%
Whose knee jerks in
surprise at finding a poem

00:01:04.830 --> 00:01:08.010 align:middle line:90%
entitled Blue Lake.

00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:14.340 align:middle line:84%
Concerning a man or a woman on
a white wall by a blue lake,

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:16.530 align:middle line:90%
reading a poetry book.

00:01:16.530 --> 00:01:20.400 align:middle line:84%
Whose knee jerks in
amazement discovering a poem

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.320 align:middle line:90%
entitled Blue Lake.

00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:26.610 align:middle line:84%
Concerning a man or
a woman or a child

00:01:26.610 --> 00:01:32.010 align:middle line:84%
on a white wall by a blue
lake, reading a poetry book.

00:01:32.010 --> 00:01:35.610 align:middle line:84%
Whose knee jerks in
amazement discovering a poem

00:01:35.610 --> 00:01:38.430 align:middle line:90%
entitled Gray Lake.

00:01:38.430 --> 00:01:41.340 align:middle line:84%
It concerns a child
on a white wall

00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:45.360 align:middle line:84%
by a gray lake
reading a poetry book.

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:48.960 align:middle line:84%
Whose knee jerks in
recognition discovering a poem

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:51.090 align:middle line:90%
entitled Gray Lake.

00:01:51.090 --> 00:01:55.470 align:middle line:84%
Concerning a child on a
white wall by a gray lake,

00:01:55.470 --> 00:01:57.870 align:middle line:90%
reading a fishing magazine.

00:01:57.870 --> 00:02:00.150 align:middle line:84%
Who sits up straight
in recognition,

00:02:00.150 --> 00:02:04.680 align:middle line:84%
discovering a poem
entitled White Shark.

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:09.180 align:middle line:84%
It concerns a child on a
white wall by a gray sea,

00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:11.310 align:middle line:90%
reading a fishing magazine.

00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:14.520 align:middle line:84%
Who sits up straight in
illumination discovering

00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.740 align:middle line:90%
a poem entitled White Shark.

00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:22.770 align:middle line:84%
Which concerns a child on
a white wall by a gray sea,

00:02:22.770 --> 00:02:25.960 align:middle line:90%
dreaming of a white shark.

00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.660 align:middle line:90%
Which never sleeps.

00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:31.950 align:middle line:84%
Would slash it's own gut if
it could turn sharp enough.

00:02:31.950 --> 00:02:36.750 align:middle line:84%
Which dreams
continuously, it is a man

00:02:36.750 --> 00:02:40.920 align:middle line:84%
or a woman in a deck
chair by a blue lake

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:43.940 align:middle line:90%
reading a poetry book.

00:02:43.940 --> 00:02:52.000 align:middle line:90%
