00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:04.260 align:middle line:84%
There are always
references to photography,

00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:06.180 align:middle line:84%
and this is entitled
"Grayscale."

00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:10.660 align:middle line:90%


00:00:10.660 --> 00:00:12.980 align:middle line:90%
"Beam of light.

00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:14.900 align:middle line:90%
An empty room-- no, not empty.

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:18.590 align:middle line:84%
Cloud, cone, circle,
suddenly a set.

00:00:18.590 --> 00:00:20.990 align:middle line:84%
And somebody suspended
there asleep,

00:00:20.990 --> 00:00:24.410 align:middle line:84%
animating with alarm
the household objects.

00:00:24.410 --> 00:00:25.700 align:middle line:90%
It's flush focus.

00:00:25.700 --> 00:00:29.330 align:middle line:84%
Point being, my right
ventricle severed whirlpool,

00:00:29.330 --> 00:00:32.600 align:middle line:84%
and my motor cortex
uniting at a higher pitch

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.250 align:middle line:84%
the nearly inaudible hiss
with a baseline clicking

00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:40.080 align:middle line:90%
of burning surrendered self.

00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:44.580 align:middle line:84%
Outside there's wind in the palm
trees, a far off siren turning

00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:45.210 align:middle line:90%
on atoms.

00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:49.590 align:middle line:84%
A 5 o'clock branch dragging the
asphalt, also a single leaf,

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:52.710 align:middle line:90%
concise in sidewalk tumble.

00:00:52.710 --> 00:00:56.980 align:middle line:84%
If you were prone to forgetting
a detail or direction,

00:00:56.980 --> 00:01:01.200 align:middle line:84%
here are the scenes before
sun-up, a sound source,

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:05.310 align:middle line:84%
television grayscale, gunfire,
and strains from a time

00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:07.740 align:middle line:90%
I recognize, but not as mine.

00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:12.090 align:middle line:84%
The bark of men in chains,
reaction, bark, and spit,

00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:13.860 align:middle line:90%
and menace in speech.

00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:15.240 align:middle line:90%
I was barely awake.

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:16.680 align:middle line:90%
I was barely even a boy.

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.060 align:middle line:90%
My mother preparing for work.

00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:19.680 align:middle line:84%
Already I knew
the war for it was

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:24.120 align:middle line:84%
for her to inhabit the volume
and idiom of skin out of true

00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.100 align:middle line:90%
or in compliant.

00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:29.920 align:middle line:84%
Prior to the scene, where
she returns in half light

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.720 align:middle line:84%
despite the
prohibitions a morning

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:36.100 align:middle line:84%
contains in sentences that
fail even the swelling oriented

00:01:36.100 --> 00:01:38.500 align:middle line:90%
to the audible horizon.

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:42.070 align:middle line:84%
Redacted, here in waiting
for the whereabouts of father

00:01:42.070 --> 00:01:45.070 align:middle line:84%
in lifelong debility of
Earth, in the coercion

00:01:45.070 --> 00:01:49.260 align:middle line:84%
of a child given to search
for it, for anything."
