[APPLAUSE]

00:00:03.479 --> 00:00:05.850 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.850 --> 00:00:07.725 align:middle line:84%
I feel like you've won
a prize, come on down.

00:00:07.725 --> 00:00:10.530 align:middle line:90%


00:00:10.530 --> 00:00:11.940 align:middle line:90%
What's your name?

00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:12.880 align:middle line:90%
My human names?

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:15.120 align:middle line:90%
Yes.

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:19.470 align:middle line:90%
OK, this is Sophia.

00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:21.420 align:middle line:84%
Tell us about the
byproducts of grief.

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:23.290 align:middle line:90%


00:00:23.290 --> 00:00:26.730 align:middle line:90%
Sophia, I just told you already.

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:28.290 align:middle line:90%
How would you like to proceed?

00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:30.290 align:middle line:84%
I was wondering if you
were comfortable with it,

00:00:30.290 --> 00:00:32.299 align:middle line:84%
could I kiss the
tops of your feet?

00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:34.730 align:middle line:90%
Oh my God, yes.

00:00:34.730 --> 00:00:37.010 align:middle line:84%
That's the cutest
thing I've ever heard.

00:00:37.010 --> 00:00:38.030 align:middle line:90%
Yeah, of course.

00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:39.740 align:middle line:84%
Do you want me to
take my shoes off?

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:40.560 align:middle line:90%
If you're comfortable with it.

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:41.060 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:46.225 align:middle line:90%


00:00:46.225 --> 00:00:47.744 align:middle line:90%
Sophia, you're the sweetness.

00:00:47.744 --> 00:00:51.380 align:middle line:90%


00:00:51.380 --> 00:00:53.360 align:middle line:84%
She's letting me kiss
the tops of her feet.

00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:57.064 align:middle line:90%


00:00:57.064 --> 00:00:59.570 align:middle line:90%
Put your shoes under your chair.

00:00:59.570 --> 00:01:00.680 align:middle line:90%
OK, I will.

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:07.730 align:middle line:90%


00:01:07.730 --> 00:01:08.570 align:middle line:90%
Should I just stand?

00:01:08.570 --> 00:01:10.350 align:middle line:90%
You want me to sit?

00:01:10.350 --> 00:01:14.680 align:middle line:90%
OK, I'm a little shy.

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:15.180 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:20.320 align:middle line:90%


00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:23.110 align:middle line:90%
Oh, can I hug you?

00:01:23.110 --> 00:01:23.905 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:01:23.905 --> 00:01:25.030 align:middle line:90%
Yeah, are you OK with that?

00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:26.914 align:middle line:90%
Thank you so much.

00:01:26.914 --> 00:01:30.130 align:middle line:90%
You're so sweet.

00:01:30.130 --> 00:01:30.880 align:middle line:90%
You're so welcome.

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:33.988 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:33.988 --> 00:01:39.200 align:middle line:90%


00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.800 align:middle line:90%
OK I forget where we were at.

00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.290 align:middle line:84%
Grief, we were
talking about grief.

00:01:45.290 --> 00:01:51.730 align:middle line:84%
My goodness, all right,
byproducts of grief.

00:01:51.730 --> 00:01:55.490 align:middle line:90%


00:01:55.490 --> 00:01:57.790 align:middle line:84%
This song-- excuse
me, this poem,

00:01:57.790 --> 00:02:04.240 align:middle line:84%
is a meditation on the energy
that is generated by loss.

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:07.120 align:middle line:90%
It's called, "An Oiled Groove."

00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.990 align:middle line:84%
"Here is an unfinished
story of grief exposed,

00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:13.840 align:middle line:90%
joy after the brink.

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:18.250 align:middle line:84%
Some basic elements,
contempt, an immutable bond,

00:02:18.250 --> 00:02:22.000 align:middle line:84%
the sort of disruption
worth mentioning,

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.370 align:middle line:90%
irreversible action.

00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:27.910 align:middle line:84%
A secret comes to
surface, evitable.

00:02:27.910 --> 00:02:30.490 align:middle line:90%
Visualize a likely context.

00:02:30.490 --> 00:02:33.280 align:middle line:84%
Let's say there's
a current closed.

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:37.270 align:middle line:84%
This electric circular
route, and joy

00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:40.840 align:middle line:90%
racing its oiled groove.

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.850 align:middle line:84%
Previous, the wires
hammered, twisted, married.

00:02:45.850 --> 00:02:49.240 align:middle line:84%
Copper can house a memory
if someone else's hands

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.220 align:middle line:90%
are involved.

00:02:51.220 --> 00:02:56.530 align:middle line:84%
A groove must wear thin
or else dusts with disuse.

00:02:56.530 --> 00:03:01.810 align:middle line:84%
Either way, a disintegration,
because the thing cannot hold

00:03:01.810 --> 00:03:07.220 align:middle line:84%
the thing itself, joy,
because hands are not enough.

00:03:07.220 --> 00:03:09.210 align:middle line:90%
We break down."
