14.

Lately, in my dreams,
I hear long sentences

00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:11.550 align:middle line:84%
meaningless in
ordinary American--

00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:17.100 align:middle line:84%
like your mother too was
a missionary of poets.

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:21.240 align:middle line:84%
And in another dream, one of my
old teachers shows me a letter

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:25.350 align:middle line:84%
of reference he has written for
me in a language I know to be

00:00:25.350 --> 00:00:28.440 align:middle line:84%
English but cannot
understand telling me

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.670 align:middle line:84%
it's in transformational
grammar,

00:00:32.670 --> 00:00:35.880 align:middle line:84%
and that the student who typed
the letter does not understand

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.790 align:middle line:90%
this grammar either.

00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:42.030 align:middle line:84%
Lately I dreamed
about my father,

00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:46.680 align:middle line:84%
how I found him alive
seated on an old chair.

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:49.860 align:middle line:84%
I think what he
said to me was, "you

00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:53.270 align:middle line:90%
don't know how lonely I am."
