00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.290 align:middle line:90%
OK, let's see.

00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:04.410 align:middle line:90%


00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:06.480 align:middle line:90%
All right, all right, all right.

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.760 align:middle line:90%
Poetry for later.

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:12.600 align:middle line:84%
I always expected
to make it back,

00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:14.940 align:middle line:84%
but it turns out
my body was smaller

00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:17.700 align:middle line:84%
and more attached to its
beginnings than I thought.

00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:21.060 align:middle line:84%
So I won't end up where I
started, no surprise there I

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:21.930 align:middle line:90%
suppose.

00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:24.900 align:middle line:84%
Though, I'll probably feel a
bit shocked all the way through.

00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:28.230 align:middle line:84%
Familiarity has its
charm as real as sex

00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:30.360 align:middle line:90%
and it's a lot more spread out.

00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:32.729 align:middle line:84%
I'll jot down some lasting
impressions, sorry,

00:00:32.729 --> 00:00:34.650 align:middle line:90%
last impressions.

00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:37.800 align:middle line:84%
Last night I caught a fragile
glimpse of the writing surface

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:39.060 align:middle line:90%
of dreams.

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:41.160 align:middle line:84%
It was like a sheet
of water, I could

00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:43.860 align:middle line:84%
feel as an edge, my
body interrupted.

00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:46.350 align:middle line:84%
I was in a pool
sticking out and when

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:49.350 align:middle line:84%
I wanted anything, felt
desire as the words say,

00:00:49.350 --> 00:00:51.060 align:middle line:90%
then the edge would disappear.

00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:53.730 align:middle line:84%
It would be the same temperature
as me and I'd find myself back

00:00:53.730 --> 00:00:56.580 align:middle line:84%
in the narrative,
which was something

00:00:56.580 --> 00:00:58.080 align:middle line:90%
about getting published.

00:00:58.080 --> 00:00:59.550 align:middle line:84%
There was a tall
building downtown

00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:01.092 align:middle line:84%
San Francisco where
they put together

00:01:01.092 --> 00:01:03.840 align:middle line:84%
flyers they distribute
in laundromats.

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.810 align:middle line:84%
These were frequented by large
immigrant populations, as well

00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:10.650 align:middle line:84%
as disgruntled aristocrats
back from the ex-colonies.

00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:12.600 align:middle line:84%
Then I was in the
laundromat naked

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:16.710 align:middle line:84%
washing the books I had
managed to save from the war.

00:01:16.710 --> 00:01:19.320 align:middle line:84%
These were quite sturdy
as you might imagine,

00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:22.050 align:middle line:84%
the sex practices of
the 60s set to music

00:01:22.050 --> 00:01:24.330 align:middle line:84%
by Marianne Moore
and Jimi Hendrix.

00:01:24.330 --> 00:01:27.330 align:middle line:84%
People would study these, as
well as other power sources:

00:01:27.330 --> 00:01:29.610 align:middle line:90%
wind, sun, line, rigs.

00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:31.680 align:middle line:84%
Once a page would
get clean enough,

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.600 align:middle line:90%
then I could write on top of it.

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:36.840 align:middle line:84%
Like now, fake dreams,
skittish prophecy,

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.960 align:middle line:84%
it didn't matter as long as the
breath came a little quicker.

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:43.290 align:middle line:84%
The pulse firmed and
skipped, not too much.

00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:46.710 align:middle line:84%
The door between centuries
turns out to be quite narrow.

00:01:46.710 --> 00:01:49.320 align:middle line:84%
An Egyptian pulled glass
bottle in the shape

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.340 align:middle line:84%
of a fish, six words to
name a nipple, my heart's

00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:58.010 align:middle line:84%
pounding a bit, it must
be the future, so long.

00:01:58.010 --> 00:01:59.000 align:middle line:90%
