00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.840 align:middle line:84%
And then I made some
collage, more collages,

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:06.930 align:middle line:90%
where I would grab photos.

00:00:06.930 --> 00:00:11.820 align:middle line:84%
And initially, I
actually glued them on,

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:14.110 align:middle line:84%
and then I thought
that didn't seem right.

00:00:14.110 --> 00:00:17.760 align:middle line:84%
So I kind of cut
them out and then let

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.820 align:middle line:84%
them sort of alight
on the page, and then

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:24.730 align:middle line:84%
I started kind of folding
them a little bit,

00:00:24.730 --> 00:00:27.330 align:middle line:84%
so there are little
creases on there.

00:00:27.330 --> 00:00:30.240 align:middle line:84%
But I'll read you this one
if I could find the page.

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:36.870 align:middle line:84%
I didn't mark my pages because
I was too busy talking to Ander

00:00:36.870 --> 00:00:41.490 align:middle line:84%
and did not prepare
appropriately, distracted,

00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:43.795 align:middle line:84%
and having a nice
time, and I can't--

00:00:43.795 --> 00:00:45.420 align:middle line:84%
we're talking about
all sorts of things

00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:49.360 align:middle line:84%
actually because he had
a reading last night,

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.360 align:middle line:84%
and a movie viewing,
Predator, and we

00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:58.840 align:middle line:84%
were talking about how I hadn't
actually seen that before, so--

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.040 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:03.160 align:middle line:90%
I still haven't found it.

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:07.360 align:middle line:84%
Let's see paper, slips,
83, let's try that.

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:10.450 align:middle line:90%
I think that's probably it.

00:01:10.450 --> 00:01:10.950 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:14.220 align:middle line:84%
So this picture in the
middle, I'm guessing

00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:20.920 align:middle line:84%
is my mother's mother's mother,
so it's my great grandmother.

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:26.080 align:middle line:84%
And the person right above
her looks a lot like my mom,

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:28.540 align:middle line:84%
and then the other people
I think are siblings.

00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:30.290 align:middle line:84%
There could be one
or two missing.

00:01:30.290 --> 00:01:31.960 align:middle line:84%
I couldn't tell you
how many siblings

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:35.470 align:middle line:84%
she had, but one, two, three--
one, two, three, four, five.

00:01:35.470 --> 00:01:37.330 align:middle line:90%
They're probably two more.

00:01:37.330 --> 00:01:39.430 align:middle line:90%
Anyway, I wrote a poem.

00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:42.430 align:middle line:84%
Once you had to stand
behind your grandmother who

00:01:42.430 --> 00:01:45.080 align:middle line:84%
left a country,
each of your feet

00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:49.180 align:middle line:84%
lifted off the land onto
the boat like nightingales.

00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:52.480 align:middle line:84%
I imagine the night
sky, you below deck,

00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.550 align:middle line:84%
light coming from two moons, but
only half of your face lit up.

00:01:57.550 --> 00:02:01.210 align:middle line:84%
You stood still as the
moons rearranged themselves.

00:02:01.210 --> 00:02:04.660 align:middle line:84%
During the switch,
language was lost at sea.

00:02:04.660 --> 00:02:08.674 align:middle line:84%
When language belongs
to no one, a door opens.

00:02:08.674 --> 00:02:09.174 align:middle line:90%
