00:00:08.570 --> 00:00:13.390 align:middle line:84%
The visitation here is
from my deceased parents.

00:00:13.390 --> 00:00:14.710 align:middle line:90%
"Night Festival."

00:00:14.710 --> 00:00:18.290 align:middle line:90%


00:00:18.290 --> 00:00:23.670 align:middle line:84%
"To reach the night festivities,
I press against the celebrants

00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:26.160 align:middle line:84%
an abbreviated symmetry
with me at the lower end

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.380 align:middle line:84%
of the hill in a synthesis, a
corporation, an exile of bodies

00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:34.360 align:middle line:84%
and dangers I fear,
who know I have

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:37.240 align:middle line:90%
no business on this premises.

00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.110 align:middle line:84%
Or I fail to comprehend
the intimation of despair.

00:00:41.110 --> 00:00:44.770 align:middle line:84%
Or I belong to no undercurrent
of the circumstance.

00:00:44.770 --> 00:00:48.700 align:middle line:84%
Or what I draw instead now
the universal grid, now

00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:50.800 align:middle line:90%
a pixelated vista.

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:54.610 align:middle line:84%
Configures no permission, even
as the mob begins to dissipate.

00:00:54.610 --> 00:00:59.440 align:middle line:84%
And there is my father, with his
remorse imposing as the Andes

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:01.270 align:middle line:84%
above the great
mountain savanna.

00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:06.370 align:middle line:84%
His innermost ensemble of cells,
my father, his subordinate

00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:09.250 align:middle line:84%
and metallurgical heartache,
all the microtones

00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:13.180 align:middle line:84%
of Bogotá 17th locality
of my father's amphibian

00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:16.420 align:middle line:84%
electrocardio dissection,
alien puppetry.

00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:19.810 align:middle line:84%
His Gaspard de la Nuit
late lesson of his road

00:01:19.810 --> 00:01:20.590 align:middle line:90%
mirage science.

00:01:20.590 --> 00:01:23.050 align:middle line:84%
He says, I'm homesick for
the material contradiction

00:01:23.050 --> 00:01:25.550 align:middle line:90%
of our kin.

00:01:25.550 --> 00:01:28.850 align:middle line:84%
Among the living long after the
land overcame my conformity,

00:01:28.850 --> 00:01:30.950 align:middle line:84%
but please spare this
from your mother,

00:01:30.950 --> 00:01:33.990 align:middle line:84%
from her propensity to
disappear over time.

00:01:33.990 --> 00:01:37.130 align:middle line:84%
Her four cardinal points
in rapid alteration.

00:01:37.130 --> 00:01:41.000 align:middle line:84%
Her lofty decibels and coffee
milk austerity saltine.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.080 align:middle line:84%
Her solitude in newsprint
apocalypse or index cards.

00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:49.100 align:middle line:84%
Her Billy the Kid, Salon

¿qué hora es?

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.110 align:middle line:84%
My father says, apúntalas,
the words "ignominy"

00:01:57.110 --> 00:02:00.980 align:middle line:84%
and "escrow," too late or
unspecified on the subject

00:02:00.980 --> 00:02:03.740 align:middle line:84%
of wake time surrender,
phosphorescent

00:02:03.740 --> 00:02:07.580 align:middle line:84%
in the dimming light of
extrasensory encircled body

00:02:07.580 --> 00:02:10.070 align:middle line:90%
before, body after.

00:02:10.070 --> 00:02:12.770 align:middle line:84%
I had for my heart
a perfect measure

00:02:12.770 --> 00:02:15.950 align:middle line:84%
to justify the untimely
turn of my neither known,

00:02:15.950 --> 00:02:19.820 align:middle line:84%
never noiseless, and I had from
my heart in the age of consent,

00:02:19.820 --> 00:02:21.380 align:middle line:90%
a little loathing.

00:02:21.380 --> 00:02:23.180 align:middle line:90%
I had a coin that fit the slot.

00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:26.120 align:middle line:84%
I had my compound fracture,
declension of pain,

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.510 align:middle line:84%
and deflated lung
irregularities of color.

00:02:29.510 --> 00:02:32.030 align:middle line:84%
But I know now the
mistakes of my ancestry

00:02:32.030 --> 00:02:35.660 align:middle line:84%
and the style of my
birthday venipuncture,

00:02:35.660 --> 00:02:38.570 align:middle line:84%
and poultice for my chest
infection in the slide

00:02:38.570 --> 00:02:42.110 align:middle line:84%
transparencies of my
naked limbs and chickenpox

00:02:42.110 --> 00:02:46.130 align:middle line:84%
that foretold the phlebotomy
of all Erie County.

00:02:46.130 --> 00:02:50.120 align:middle line:84%
I had now in my ventricles the
great nebula of forgetting,

00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.730 align:middle line:84%
and the abrogated law no
longer larger than life."
