OK.

00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:01.500 align:middle line:90%
"Clear."

00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:03.270 align:middle line:90%
This is a prose poem.

00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:04.660 align:middle line:90%
"Clear."

00:00:04.660 --> 00:00:07.110 align:middle line:84%
"An old woman is being led
through the parking lot

00:00:07.110 --> 00:00:08.550 align:middle line:90%
by two girls.

00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:12.900 align:middle line:84%
They hold her hands and speak
in energetic, explanatory verse,

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:15.600 align:middle line:84%
while she cranks her
head this way and that

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:19.650 align:middle line:84%
as if expecting something
which has yet to appear.

00:00:19.650 --> 00:00:22.920 align:middle line:84%
As if the crystalline
clarity of this ocean pool,

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.760 align:middle line:84%
cradled in two lava arms,
meant something, which

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.680 align:middle line:90%
we had been waiting to hear.

00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:33.400 align:middle line:84%
Something indistinguishable from
meaning itself and unchanging,

00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:37.500 align:middle line:84%
so that finally, it's
we who turn to go."
