00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.050 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to read from my
most recent book, Body Clock.

00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:08.880 align:middle line:84%
Is that annoying
behind you, is it OK?

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:18.620 align:middle line:90%


00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:24.325 align:middle line:84%
And I shall say about
this book that--

00:00:24.325 --> 00:00:25.330 align:middle line:90%
what shall I say--

00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:30.828 align:middle line:90%


00:00:30.828 --> 00:00:35.070 align:middle line:84%
it was begun while I was
pregnant with my daughter.

00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:38.060 align:middle line:84%
And I was thinking a lot
about the relationship between

00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:40.040 align:middle line:90%
the growth of a-- and decay--

00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:44.030 align:middle line:84%
but first, the growth
of a body in time

00:00:44.030 --> 00:00:48.800 align:middle line:84%
and how seconds and
minutes are related

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.610 align:middle line:84%
to the corporalization of
matter, the matter taking form.

00:00:55.610 --> 00:01:00.320 align:middle line:84%
And the book alternates
between what I think

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.990 align:middle line:90%
of as home and world section.

00:01:02.990 --> 00:01:07.040 align:middle line:84%
So the home sections
are the baby, the body.

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.200 align:middle line:84%
And the world sections are
sort of public language

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.417 align:middle line:90%
or public information.

00:01:14.417 --> 00:01:16.250 align:middle line:84%
I'm mostly going to
read from home sections.

00:01:16.250 --> 00:01:22.310 align:middle line:84%
I'm not going to necessarily
tell you where I'm doing what.

00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:24.290 align:middle line:84%
But if you hear--
you probably be

00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:26.540 align:middle line:84%
able to hear when there's
a world section coming in,

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:29.030 align:middle line:90%
a world poem.

00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:34.280 align:middle line:90%
And that's it.

00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.610 align:middle line:90%
I'll read poems now.

00:01:35.610 --> 00:01:38.180 align:middle line:90%


00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:42.860 align:middle line:84%
"Heart was found asymmetrically
locked in the chest.

00:01:42.860 --> 00:01:48.020 align:middle line:84%
You can't make it turn
round, not around.

00:01:48.020 --> 00:01:54.035 align:middle line:84%
Pierce the porous skin of a
minute, see time bleed out."

00:01:54.035 --> 00:01:59.350 align:middle line:90%


00:01:59.350 --> 00:02:04.990 align:middle line:84%
"Midnight noon is at the
crown, 12:15 is at the lips."

00:02:04.990 --> 00:02:06.490 align:middle line:90%
"Body Clock."

00:02:06.490 --> 00:02:12.150 align:middle line:84%
"The breastbone brushes three
and the wishbone splits."

00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:15.000 align:middle line:90%
