00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.600 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.320 align:middle line:84%
So I'll just say in this
section, one of the things

00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:07.560 align:middle line:84%
that it deals with is the idea
of tautology and contradiction.

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:10.957 align:middle line:84%
Tautology is stating something
obvious, so for that I--

00:00:10.957 --> 00:00:12.540 align:middle line:84%
you'll hear the
phrase the rain is wet

00:00:12.540 --> 00:00:15.510 align:middle line:84%
or the rain is wet as
rain, and contradiction

00:00:15.510 --> 00:00:18.210 align:middle line:90%
was the rain is dry.

00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:21.010 align:middle line:90%
A set of propositions.

00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:24.480 align:middle line:84%
If one is awake in a house
where a certain hand extends

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.310 align:middle line:84%
its open palm across a kitchen
table in the midst of argument.

00:00:29.310 --> 00:00:32.460 align:middle line:84%
And if there is a table on
which a scribbled note might

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.180 align:middle line:84%
read on one day, "see
you later," on another,

00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:37.950 align:middle line:90%
"see you soon."

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:41.430 align:middle line:84%
If one repeats each
morning a gesture pulling

00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:45.690 align:middle line:84%
comb through hair, drinking
coffee from the same blue cup,

00:00:45.690 --> 00:00:48.510 align:middle line:84%
then one might say that
one is loved and one

00:00:48.510 --> 00:00:50.820 align:middle line:90%
lives in the house.

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:54.030 align:middle line:84%
If love emits from the
gesture of an empty palm

00:00:54.030 --> 00:00:58.050 align:middle line:84%
upturned on a table in
the midst of argument.

00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:01.770 align:middle line:84%
If outside there is a Willow in
which there can be nests then

00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:05.459 align:middle line:84%
that same tree emits
both branch and bird.

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:10.170 align:middle line:84%
As from a house, there follow
cups and hands and combs.

00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:14.850 align:middle line:84%
To say the words, "emit a time"
is to say that days will pass.

00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:18.090 align:middle line:84%
And that one wakes up each
morning from tangled nests

00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:19.650 align:middle line:90%
asleep.

00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:21.840 align:middle line:84%
As if from the
character of sleep

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.050 align:middle line:84%
or the slab or sun that
moves across the sill,

00:01:25.050 --> 00:01:29.700 align:middle line:84%
one might infer the structure
of a house, its wooden beams.

00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:32.970 align:middle line:84%
And the internal relations
of the ones who live in it,

00:01:32.970 --> 00:01:35.070 align:middle line:84%
and the fact that
they are living there,

00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:38.310 align:middle line:90%
and that there is a house.

00:01:38.310 --> 00:01:40.230 align:middle line:84%
And I'm just going
to read two more.

00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:42.870 align:middle line:84%
So one of the things that
happens in this section

00:01:42.870 --> 00:01:47.160 align:middle line:84%
is a lot of logical notation,
and equations with variables.

00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:50.550 align:middle line:84%
And so those have been really
fun to translate into poetry,

00:01:50.550 --> 00:01:52.260 align:middle line:90%
I have to say.

00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:54.930 align:middle line:84%
So this is called, "A
Bracketed Expression."

00:01:54.930 --> 00:02:04.900 align:middle line:84%
And the expression is A-X-O-X.
Person fire mouth of fire.

00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:09.280 align:middle line:84%
Person mouth of person,
mouth of mouth of self.

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.040 align:middle line:84%
This bracketed
pressed from flicker.

00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:16.750 align:middle line:84%
The first a series of bodies,
the second term of fire,

00:02:16.750 --> 00:02:21.610 align:middle line:84%
selected arbitrary,
species of the third the

00:02:21.610 --> 00:02:23.650 align:middle line:90%
afterimage of the term.

00:02:23.650 --> 00:02:28.420 align:middle line:84%
What follows on the heels
fire a series of fires.

00:02:28.420 --> 00:02:31.360 align:middle line:84%
A series of successive
applications.

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.180 align:middle line:84%
A surgery a prayer,
a supplication.

00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:37.660 align:middle line:84%
A surgery, a prayer,
a supplication.

00:02:37.660 --> 00:02:43.150 align:middle line:84%
A surgery, a prayer, a
supplication, and so on.

00:02:43.150 --> 00:02:46.450 align:middle line:84%
A surgery to cancel
out another surgery.

00:02:46.450 --> 00:02:50.860 align:middle line:84%
A prayer to cancel out
another prayer, e.g.

00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:52.660 align:middle line:90%
there is negation.

00:02:52.660 --> 00:02:55.900 align:middle line:90%
For instance, not no time.

00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:58.120 align:middle line:90%
Not no time equals time.

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.340 align:middle line:90%
This means that there is time.

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:03.220 align:middle line:84%
Not no rain equals
rain, this means

00:03:03.220 --> 00:03:08.070 align:middle line:84%
that there is rain as if all
open hands are the result.

00:03:08.070 --> 00:03:09.000 align:middle line:90%
