00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.740 align:middle line:90%


00:00:01.740 --> 00:00:08.490 align:middle line:84%
There is no stroke
like the ambiguous air.

00:00:08.490 --> 00:00:16.510 align:middle line:84%
The bear rolls over and goes
to sleep like a grown man.

00:00:16.510 --> 00:00:20.610 align:middle line:90%
I stay awake and listen.

00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:25.500 align:middle line:84%
Ignorance is as
powerful as the moon.

00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:28.290 align:middle line:90%
It makes the tides move.

00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:31.440 align:middle line:90%
It moves the shore.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.000 align:middle line:84%
I hear the dark things
done against trees

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.530 align:middle line:84%
rattle like the
names of lost slaves.

00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:46.530 align:middle line:84%
For example, I hear
my daughter grow.

00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:49.590 align:middle line:90%
They are must conquer thyself.

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:54.220 align:middle line:90%
Is that a difficult thing to do?

00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:58.860 align:middle line:84%
I am a painter prime
in the years following

00:00:58.860 --> 00:01:05.650 align:middle line:84%
mercy instead of the dark and
limited wilderness outside.

00:01:05.650 --> 00:01:10.500 align:middle line:90%


00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:14.980 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, something about that
voice that gives me the willies

00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:16.275 align:middle line:90%
makes me feel like I'm 70.

00:01:16.275 --> 00:01:21.120 align:middle line:90%


00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:27.315 align:middle line:84%
But it's a voice that I
feel I have no choice about.

00:01:27.315 --> 00:01:31.230 align:middle line:90%


00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:33.330 align:middle line:84%
I'm beginning to
develop a theory on it.

00:01:33.330 --> 00:01:38.280 align:middle line:90%


00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.530 align:middle line:90%
Maybe tell you about the theory.

00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:42.900 align:middle line:84%
Let me see if I can
change the tone.

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:49.230 align:middle line:84%
I'd like to read a couple of
poems that I feel a love poems.

00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:52.890 align:middle line:84%
From the second
section of the book,

00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:54.540 align:middle line:90%
that goes with the statement.

00:01:54.540 --> 00:02:11.440 align:middle line:90%


00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:16.300 align:middle line:84%
The inscription for the section
is this is the meal equally set

00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:17.445 align:middle line:90%
disappears appears.

00:02:17.445 --> 00:02:22.990 align:middle line:90%


00:02:22.990 --> 00:02:25.510 align:middle line:84%
This is the meat
of natural hunger.

00:02:25.510 --> 00:02:29.740 align:middle line:84%
It's from leaves of
grass by Walt Whitman.

00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:34.720 align:middle line:84%
I think I use that one
more so than anything else

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:37.930 align:middle line:90%
for the American study scholars.

00:02:37.930 --> 00:02:41.860 align:middle line:84%
But I think it really
has a lot to say

00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:46.500 align:middle line:90%
about love and its complexity.

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:47.000 align:middle line:90%
