00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.220 align:middle line:84%
I want to read you a
poem from an Irish poet.

00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:08.970 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:09.595 align:middle line:90%
Here in Carson.

00:00:09.595 --> 00:00:12.580 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:15.040 align:middle line:84%
The Irish ports don't have
very much to say really

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:18.230 align:middle line:84%
in their poems about
the troubles in Ireland.

00:00:18.230 --> 00:00:22.480 align:middle line:84%
But this was one poem, which
I found that I liked about it.

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.410 align:middle line:84%
The city is in the north
are all blocked off.

00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:29.110 align:middle line:90%
You cannot drive into them.

00:00:29.110 --> 00:00:30.610 align:middle line:90%
You have to walk.

00:00:30.610 --> 00:00:32.930 align:middle line:84%
And so it's very quiet
in the downtown area.

00:00:32.930 --> 00:00:34.070 align:middle line:90%
So needless to say.

00:00:34.070 --> 00:00:37.000 align:middle line:84%
You searched before
you go into any store

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.850 align:middle line:84%
and there are checkpoints
at some major points

00:00:39.850 --> 00:00:44.752 align:middle line:84%
within the city, where you
are physically searched.

00:00:44.752 --> 00:00:46.210 align:middle line:84%
Most of the time,
they'll just look

00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:48.280 align:middle line:84%
at what you're carrying
going into the stores.

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.280 align:middle line:84%
But at the checkpoints,
you are really frisked.

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.083 align:middle line:84%
Women aren't really
frisked though.

00:00:54.083 --> 00:00:55.375 align:middle line:90%
They just look into your purse.

00:00:55.375 --> 00:00:58.240 align:middle line:90%


00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:59.490 align:middle line:90%
It's called The Bomb Disposal.

00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:03.240 align:middle line:90%


00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.560 align:middle line:84%
Is it just like picking a
lock with a slow deliberation

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.060 align:middle line:90%
of a funeral?

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:14.010 align:middle line:84%
Hesitating through a darkened
nave until you find the answer.

00:01:14.010 --> 00:01:16.800 align:middle line:84%
Listening to the malevolent
tick of its heart.

00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:22.200 align:middle line:84%
Can you read the message of
the threaded veins like print.

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.420 align:middle line:90%
Its bodies chart.

00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:27.990 align:middle line:90%
The city is a map of the city.

00:01:27.990 --> 00:01:31.320 align:middle line:84%
Its forbidden areas
changing daily.

00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:35.970 align:middle line:84%
I find myself in a crowded
taxi making deviations

00:01:35.970 --> 00:01:38.370 align:middle line:90%
from the known route.

00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:42.090 align:middle line:84%
Ending in a cul-de-sac where
everyone breaks out suddenly

00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:48.560 align:middle line:84%
in whispers noting the boarded
windows, the drawn blinds.

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.000 align:middle line:90%
