00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:04.410 align:middle line:84%
This is a series
called "Demotics,"

00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:07.650 align:middle line:84%
and the name is kind
of strangely used.

00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:11.640 align:middle line:90%
It's a reference to Greek.

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:13.980 align:middle line:84%
There's two types
of modern Greek.

00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:16.530 align:middle line:84%
There's demotic Greek,
and there's Katharevousa.

00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:20.160 align:middle line:84%
So I'm kind of pulling
a meaning from the idea

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.840 align:middle line:84%
of common language,
which is meant

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:23.730 align:middle line:84%
to be ironic because
the language in it

00:00:23.730 --> 00:00:25.410 align:middle line:90%
is not very common.

00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:29.160 align:middle line:84%
But I kind of like it,
so I just kept it anyway.

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:30.317 align:middle line:90%
You'll see.

00:00:30.317 --> 00:00:31.650 align:middle line:90%
I always think it sort of works.

00:00:31.650 --> 00:00:36.650 align:middle line:90%


00:00:36.650 --> 00:00:42.230 align:middle line:84%
"Quanta surpassed by
penumbra, driven mad, the sea,

00:00:42.230 --> 00:00:46.280 align:middle line:84%
its repeated horizon steering
straight down the canyon,

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:52.020 align:middle line:84%
coral reef, senita who
blooms at night, monitor of.

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:55.460 align:middle line:84%
Ocotillo curvature,
where have you gone?

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:58.970 align:middle line:84%
My memory is an emission,
photograph, rapid ball

00:00:58.970 --> 00:01:01.970 align:middle line:90%
of light her skull lasting.

00:01:01.970 --> 00:01:06.920 align:middle line:84%
A yellow glow of sodium
means atoms are relaxing.

The jackrabbit allows
a fear of sand.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.880 align:middle line:84%
In bed, time is
transferable and small,

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:22.280 align:middle line:84%
could become a tremor, a
length of cloud with another.

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.450 align:middle line:84%
Jelly-like, the pelvis
appears among deep-sea vent,

00:01:26.450 --> 00:01:30.980 align:middle line:84%
combing the water
for our symbolon.

00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:35.480 align:middle line:84%
Conifer and magnolia
consumed before desiccation,

00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.560 align:middle line:84%
in a mud bed, cousin to
the diatom, our dimorphic,

00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:44.870 align:middle line:84%
we all live at the river
the moon reduces to tides.

00:01:44.870 --> 00:01:51.530 align:middle line:84%
Dune-field to which we may
attach a quay, oscillation

00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:59.270 align:middle line:84%
for boat, or the deserts, all
indivisible energy exists.

00:01:59.270 --> 00:02:08.180 align:middle line:84%
Raga, minimal amount of music
cut up to its ecliptic pleasure

00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:13.220 align:middle line:84%
as the neutrino flies constantly
through my flesh, rearrange,

00:02:13.220 --> 00:02:16.070 align:middle line:90%
surrender.

00:02:16.070 --> 00:02:20.780 align:middle line:84%
Pheromone, the honeybee
signals danger from a kiss

00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:23.855 align:middle line:84%
after fight or
flight, my anabasis.

00:02:23.855 --> 00:02:26.740 align:middle line:90%

Water is why the epiphytes or
guest plant paints chartreuse

00:02:43.540 --> 00:02:46.690 align:middle line:90%
over stones, cedar, handrails.

00:02:46.690 --> 00:02:49.120 align:middle line:84%
I hold on for dear
life, marriage.

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.880 align:middle line:90%


00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:58.300 align:middle line:84%
The rarer just offshore
arroyo as perilune swallows

00:02:58.300 --> 00:03:05.500 align:middle line:84%
sea-level sock-eye-less salmon,
dead or diverted and sleep.

00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:11.020 align:middle line:84%
What you don't know, quiet
underneath, too wet for trees,

00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:19.030 align:middle line:84%
fungi people, epiphyte,
keep my sexless sex safe.

To inspire people
about the deep ocean,

00:03:24.370 --> 00:03:29.100 align:middle line:84%
we had to light it, was

00:03:29.100 --> 00:03:33.350 align:middle line:90%
the lamp, blurred my flagellum."
