00:00:00.630 --> 00:00:02.410 align:middle line:84%
Well, I'm very
pleased to be here.

00:00:02.410 --> 00:00:03.940 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:03.940 --> 00:00:11.520 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read poems from
this new book manuscript,

00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:14.940 align:middle line:84%
except that I would like
to start with just a poem

00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:17.730 align:middle line:84%
that I finished very
recently just because I

00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:19.860 align:middle line:90%
would like to try it out.

00:00:19.860 --> 00:00:21.840 align:middle line:84%
And I guess it would be
one of the lyric poems

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:22.740 align:middle line:90%
you're describing.

00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:27.568 align:middle line:90%


00:00:27.568 --> 00:00:28.360 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Blue."

00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:30.970 align:middle line:90%


00:00:30.970 --> 00:00:36.550 align:middle line:84%
"At the border of what is and
is not true, there is a light,

00:00:36.550 --> 00:00:40.360 align:middle line:84%
the blue of certain late
impressionist paintings

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:46.120 align:middle line:84%
or all-night cafes say
there is in the former

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:52.120 align:middle line:84%
or the latter a man or a
woman waiting for the other.

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:58.750 align:middle line:84%
What matter if she or he
does not or does arrive?

00:00:58.750 --> 00:01:03.310 align:middle line:84%
What matters is the light,
that blue illuminating

00:01:03.310 --> 00:01:07.930 align:middle line:84%
dolor wherein time
stops completely

00:01:07.930 --> 00:01:11.800 align:middle line:84%
at the border of what
is and is not true

00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:17.020 align:middle line:84%
and where now you are waiting
in this late impressionist

00:01:17.020 --> 00:01:22.240 align:middle line:84%
painting hanging from the
wall of an all-night cafe

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:26.980 align:middle line:84%
in a painting, and so on,
and blue under the end

00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:28.500 align:middle line:90%
of eternity."
