00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.283 align:middle line:90%


00:00:03.283 --> 00:00:04.700 align:middle line:84%
I don't know what
it is, but there

00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:08.360 align:middle line:84%
seem to be a lot of airline
poems going around these days,

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:10.110 align:middle line:90%
and I'm no exception.

00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:10.876 align:middle line:90%
I got three.

00:00:10.876 --> 00:00:13.732 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.732 --> 00:00:16.220 align:middle line:84%
Point of Origin,
these are two of them.

00:00:16.220 --> 00:00:18.650 align:middle line:90%
I'll finish with the last later.

00:00:18.650 --> 00:00:20.310 align:middle line:90%
Point of Origin.

00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:23.060 align:middle line:90%
And I hope there's progress.

00:00:23.060 --> 00:00:27.120 align:middle line:84%
I don't know what is that,
some historical determinism?

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.050 align:middle line:90%
We shouldn't think of progress.

00:00:30.050 --> 00:00:33.495 align:middle line:84%
Somebody said is it progress
if the cannibal uses a knife

00:00:33.495 --> 00:00:33.995 align:middle line:90%
and fork?

00:00:33.995 --> 00:00:40.430 align:middle line:90%


00:00:40.430 --> 00:00:43.460 align:middle line:90%
Point of Origin.

00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:46.430 align:middle line:84%
They feed me and
feed me and feed me

00:00:46.430 --> 00:00:49.940 align:middle line:84%
till the last passions
of the airport parting

00:00:49.940 --> 00:00:52.280 align:middle line:90%
are as far away as Earth.

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:58.190 align:middle line:84%
The cruelties, the furies of
recrimination, love will pass.

00:00:58.190 --> 00:01:00.950 align:middle line:90%
In a minute, it's an hour ago.

00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:03.050 align:middle line:90%
Varieties of cloud go by.

00:01:03.050 --> 00:01:07.520 align:middle line:84%
Varieties of blue, there's
always some somewhere, a clear

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:09.500 align:middle line:90%
to swear by, and I do.

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:13.030 align:middle line:90%


00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:16.450 align:middle line:84%
Because we argued
to the very ramp,

00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:21.340 align:middle line:84%
because I was the last to board,
because a man of many years--

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:25.870 align:middle line:84%
nobody knew his language--
occupied my given seat,

00:01:25.870 --> 00:01:28.570 align:middle line:90%
I get to go first class.

00:01:28.570 --> 00:01:31.600 align:middle line:84%
A present, and a
presence multiplied

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:35.710 align:middle line:84%
till soon, I am mistaking
luck for privilege.

00:01:35.710 --> 00:01:40.450 align:middle line:84%
I taste a couple of lunches,
have my little weep in private,

00:01:40.450 --> 00:01:43.630 align:middle line:84%
take a glass of wine to
make abstractions of,

00:01:43.630 --> 00:01:45.760 align:middle line:90%
in geometric light.

00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.400 align:middle line:84%
But all the while,
behind me there,

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.770 align:middle line:84%
where calm cannot be bought and
where I was supposed to stay,

00:01:53.770 --> 00:01:57.880 align:middle line:84%
somebody's baby cries
and cries and cries,

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:00.480 align:middle line:90%
impossible to pacify.

00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.489 align:middle line:90%
