I want to get into
the ghost vibe.

00:00:03.330 --> 00:00:04.760 align:middle line:90%
So I'm going to start with--

00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:07.400 align:middle line:90%
I didn't intend to, but I will.

00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.230 align:middle line:84%
This one's called
"The Education"

00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:12.020 align:middle line:84%
and it's after the
great Kim Hyesoon,

00:00:12.020 --> 00:00:16.960 align:middle line:84%
who wrote a great poem
called "Ghost School."

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.840 align:middle line:90%
"The Education.

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:24.420 align:middle line:84%
Ghost teacher calls me
permanently unfinished.

00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:29.830 align:middle line:84%
Ghost rector nicknames
me tiny incapable.

00:00:29.830 --> 00:00:34.990 align:middle line:84%
A fallen ghost basically
adds up to nothing, 1, 1, 1.

00:00:34.990 --> 00:00:36.160 align:middle line:90%
Our eyelashes fall.

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:38.890 align:middle line:84%
And our voices drip from the
inner faucets of ourselves

00:00:38.890 --> 00:00:42.290 align:middle line:90%
a few times and then no more.

00:00:42.290 --> 00:00:44.570 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes I feel
like an empty speech

00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:48.610 align:middle line:84%
bubble, an invisible comic
strip so no one laughs.

00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:52.435 align:middle line:84%
Many of us simply want to read
our poetry by the river, 1, 1,

00:00:52.435 --> 00:00:53.500 align:middle line:90%
1.

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:56.110 align:middle line:84%
Many of us want to say so
long to this curriculum

00:00:56.110 --> 00:01:00.870 align:middle line:84%
without fingerprints nor
with one last breath spared.

00:01:00.870 --> 00:01:03.150 align:middle line:84%
Many of us just want
to read our poetry

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:08.500 align:middle line:84%
by the river to close our
eyes and be just as such."
