00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:07.590 align:middle line:84%
This one dated 12/6/70 called
"Sides of the Crystal."

00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:11.430 align:middle line:90%


00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:11.970 align:middle line:90%
Get a drink.

00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:17.180 align:middle line:90%


00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:20.030 align:middle line:84%
This is a very
important image to me,

00:00:20.030 --> 00:00:26.600 align:middle line:84%
the idea of being able to move
into a many-sided, complex

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.250 align:middle line:90%
crystal is perfect.

00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:32.970 align:middle line:84%
On this side, illusions
scrape against the pavement.

00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:35.640 align:middle line:84%
Bits of gravel embedded
in bloody flesh,

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.670 align:middle line:84%
the woman lies along
the hairpin curve.

00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:41.340 align:middle line:84%
I come into the view
of the overturned Jeep.

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:43.390 align:middle line:90%
It's a Sunday afternoon.

00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:46.950 align:middle line:84%
I am all right, she says,
just need a moment's rest.

00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:49.710 align:middle line:84%
It's not the bared
flesh I shy away from,

00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:51.630 align:middle line:90%
suffering to touch deeper.

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:54.450 align:middle line:84%
But the best thing I
can do is call a cop.

00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:57.000 align:middle line:90%
Mind must distort this pain.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.440 align:middle line:84%
Step into the crystal, where
no love nor compassion reaches.

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:03.850 align:middle line:90%
This is the elusive other.

00:01:03.850 --> 00:01:06.630 align:middle line:84%
It happens so fast
you can't hold on.

00:01:06.630 --> 00:01:08.070 align:middle line:90%
The balance goes.

00:01:08.070 --> 00:01:11.160 align:middle line:84%
All the illusions,
lamp glass shattering,

00:01:11.160 --> 00:01:15.150 align:middle line:84%
metal of a kickstand dragging
in the pavement, then the body,

00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:17.700 align:middle line:84%
and gasoline
dripping from a tank.

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.440 align:middle line:90%
I have been here before.

00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:21.030 align:middle line:90%
Who is the person watching?

00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:21.990 align:middle line:90%
Who would help?

00:01:21.990 --> 00:01:24.150 align:middle line:90%
No place to put the pain.

00:01:24.150 --> 00:01:27.450 align:middle line:84%
You can only return to
a world of feelings.

00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:31.730 align:middle line:84%
I'm all right, I say,
just need a moment's rest.

00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:33.000 align:middle line:90%
