00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.630 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.630 --> 00:00:02.885 align:middle line:84%
Full Foreground, from
which I'll be reading

00:00:02.885 --> 00:00:04.260 align:middle line:84%
for the remainder
of the reading,

00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:08.340 align:middle line:84%
is also about history and this
idea of being belated or being

00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:10.680 align:middle line:84%
untimely in the sense
as Hamlet taught us

00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:13.050 align:middle line:90%
that the time is out of joint.

00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:15.630 align:middle line:84%
And many of them point back to
the years, the 90s, in which

00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:17.520 align:middle line:90%
I was living in Mexico City.

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:22.980 align:middle line:84%
And, aims of the poems are
to reflect the diverse sphere

00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:27.240 align:middle line:84%
of public cultures, reflecting
the language of current events,

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:31.650 align:middle line:84%
journalism, state demagoguery,
the ethnographic account,

00:00:31.650 --> 00:00:33.570 align:middle line:90%
and the pathologies of violence.

00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:38.820 align:middle line:84%
And all these voices constitute
a self, presumably myself.

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:41.910 align:middle line:84%
But it also provides a world
view, at a ground level

00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:44.940 align:middle line:84%
view of the world events
from the 1990s to the more

00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:45.600 align:middle line:90%
recent present.

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.310 align:middle line:90%


00:00:50.310 --> 00:00:53.100 align:middle line:84%
And it also shifts from
celebrations of the flesh

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:57.690 align:middle line:84%
to, astonishments of
extreme human violence.

00:00:57.690 --> 00:01:00.323 align:middle line:90%


00:01:00.323 --> 00:01:01.365 align:middle line:90%
None of them have titles.

00:01:01.365 --> 00:01:06.270 align:middle line:90%


00:01:06.270 --> 00:01:10.980 align:middle line:84%
"A reverence in the order of
time arises now, some under

00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:13.170 align:middle line:84%
surface into silk
geometries of here

00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:16.350 align:middle line:84%
therefore, observing the
swerve of lawful aim,

00:01:16.350 --> 00:01:19.350 align:middle line:84%
as pliant capacity
curls into what could be

00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:22.920 align:middle line:90%
weeks of this unlikely touch.

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.920 align:middle line:84%
Deserving tongues,
scented bleed, the here

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.820 align:middle line:84%
and after onto shores, kept safe
between the pages of an arc,

00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:34.050 align:middle line:84%
outlive us, escape,
and case in point.

00:01:34.050 --> 00:01:38.010 align:middle line:84%
Render, unshaven, the
stay, cupped hands, unsure,

00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:42.660 align:middle line:84%
along the lilt of jaw,
rejoin your collarbone,

00:01:42.660 --> 00:01:46.890 align:middle line:84%
allure made known and roseate,
and hollow in the shape

00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:48.480 align:middle line:90%
of loathsome night.

00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.340 align:middle line:84%
Recede to search
again, my throat

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:53.820 align:middle line:84%
moan in the fraught mind
and bodily intentions of,

00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:55.110 align:middle line:90%
is this a kiss?

00:01:55.110 --> 00:01:58.110 align:middle line:84%
A head swell grin of abandoned
contiguity, of mouths

00:01:58.110 --> 00:02:01.680 align:middle line:84%
glide drunk, with persuaded
hearts surrendering apparel.

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.800 align:middle line:84%
Am I watching these soft
drawing tenses of fragrant

00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:10.410 align:middle line:84%
beige or so inside
your amulet anatomy?

00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:12.950 align:middle line:84%
If there is no jeopardy to
these offices of the flesh,

00:02:12.950 --> 00:02:16.440 align:middle line:84%
you will press against
this all involving spot,

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:18.990 align:middle line:84%
then it's a rapture
uncertain, this company

00:02:18.990 --> 00:02:20.940 align:middle line:90%
rare and wear on the horizon.

00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:21.960 align:middle line:90%
Was it over the summer?

00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.930 align:middle line:84%
So numb there with,
now a winter hum

00:02:24.930 --> 00:02:28.290 align:middle line:84%
of knowing a science,
something no one need notice,

00:02:28.290 --> 00:02:31.740 align:middle line:84%
if this is gift
given, or spellbound,

00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:35.220 align:middle line:84%
or a thievery, else,
this is dumbstruck.

00:02:35.220 --> 00:02:38.040 align:middle line:84%
A falling asleep there
outside of this rattle,

00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:40.380 align:middle line:84%
shall we gather my
Vanguard of God,

00:02:40.380 --> 00:02:42.990 align:middle line:84%
as we pleasure on the
other edge in this election

00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:46.560 align:middle line:84%
year my luminary, in
whose rogue nation,

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.150 align:middle line:84%
to imagine a Commonwealth, is
to make impossible any casualty

00:02:51.150 --> 00:02:53.500 align:middle line:90%
in this occurrence."

00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:54.000 align:middle line:90%
