WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.630 align:middle line:90% 00:00:03.630 --> 00:00:06.300 align:middle line:84% So I'll finish with something that's 00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:08.130 align:middle line:84% from The Front Matter, Dead Souls. 00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:13.180 align:middle line:90% 00:00:13.180 --> 00:00:15.490 align:middle line:90% Nothing happens but that. 00:00:15.490 --> 00:00:18.280 align:middle line:90% The hyena floating to one. 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.750 align:middle line:84% She sits quietly at a cafe, looking at the thin air with it 00:00:22.750 --> 00:00:23.860 align:middle line:90% in it. 00:00:23.860 --> 00:00:27.550 align:middle line:84% Just seeing them who is calm when he's still living 00:00:27.550 --> 00:00:29.650 align:middle line:90% is only encouraging. 00:00:29.650 --> 00:00:32.740 align:middle line:84% Actually, one note on this book was 00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:41.630 align:middle line:84% a play on also a detective novel and a poem all at the same time. 00:00:41.630 --> 00:00:47.710 align:middle line:84% And it was using the notion of a Sumo wrestling ring in LA 00:00:47.710 --> 00:00:51.190 align:middle line:84% and masked figures or not masked, 00:00:51.190 --> 00:00:55.690 align:middle line:84% but unknown figures in silk suits 00:00:55.690 --> 00:00:58.120 align:middle line:84% running through the streets who would 00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:00.040 align:middle line:90% stab people, who attack them. 00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:03.370 align:middle line:90% And so it was a-- 00:01:03.370 --> 00:01:05.590 align:middle line:84% not exactly a surrealistic landscape, 00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:10.180 align:middle line:84% but a dreamlike landscape in which it's not really 00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:13.210 align:middle line:84% so important how the crime is solved 00:01:13.210 --> 00:01:15.250 align:middle line:84% or exactly what's happening, But. 00:01:15.250 --> 00:01:18.460 align:middle line:84% Going with it and trying to get through it or in terms 00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:20.980 align:middle line:84% of the people in it getting through it. 00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:23.870 align:middle line:90% 00:01:23.870 --> 00:01:28.330 align:middle line:84% So the man referred to in this has been wounded 00:01:28.330 --> 00:01:32.090 align:middle line:84% and has disappeared, and so he comes into this, 00:01:32.090 --> 00:01:37.540 align:middle line:84% and you'll know who the oozing hump is when we get to it. 00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:39.100 align:middle line:90% Nothing happens but that. 00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:40.840 align:middle line:90% The hyena floating to one. 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.770 align:middle line:84% She sits quietly at a cafe, looking at the thin air with it 00:01:44.770 --> 00:01:45.490 align:middle line:90% in it. 00:01:45.490 --> 00:01:49.540 align:middle line:84% Just seeing them who is calm when he's still living 00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:51.520 align:middle line:90% is only encouraging. 00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:55.750 align:middle line:84% A freeway overpass chokes the ball in the blue air, 00:01:55.750 --> 00:02:01.360 align:middle line:84% swirling as an eye itself when one glances, the changing air. 00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:04.090 align:middle line:84% If it were the hyena, it would swim 00:02:04.090 --> 00:02:07.960 align:middle line:84% coming up with the fetus between its mouth as it did. 00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:09.340 align:middle line:90% They'd meet. 00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:13.120 align:middle line:84% Not to exist eliminates the blue boil. 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.360 align:middle line:90% It's him not oneself there. 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.930 align:middle line:84% The fat flowers bloom in the dark. 00:02:19.930 --> 00:02:23.290 align:middle line:84% The crowd pulses by her in blackness 00:02:23.290 --> 00:02:28.180 align:middle line:84% where she sits at the cafe with the flowers opening around her. 00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:31.510 align:middle line:84% She'd seen them in the past then, 00:02:31.510 --> 00:02:34.270 align:middle line:84% she sees the people in the cafe come up 00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:38.260 align:middle line:84% and would be separate from him alive lost. 00:02:38.260 --> 00:02:41.770 align:middle line:84% In their view one's actions are composed, 00:02:41.770 --> 00:02:45.190 align:middle line:84% passively being a narrative connected 00:02:45.190 --> 00:02:49.930 align:middle line:84% that illustrates rather than being in existence. 00:02:49.930 --> 00:02:55.360 align:middle line:84% He floats in the black on his own ejaculated stream, 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.340 align:middle line:84% seeing one's decomposing sack of flesh playfully, 00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:03.880 align:middle line:84% sitting oiling down a vodka at the cafe 00:03:03.880 --> 00:03:06.130 align:middle line:90% where he had once been seen. 00:03:06.130 --> 00:03:10.900 align:middle line:84% In their view, the actual world is symbolic and permanent, 00:03:10.900 --> 00:03:15.190 align:middle line:84% a higher authority giving meaning to scenes, 00:03:15.190 --> 00:03:17.560 align:middle line:90% decomposing having meaning. 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.250 align:middle line:84% That is why without him one feels being mocked, 00:03:21.250 --> 00:03:26.020 align:middle line:84% no matter how one sees motions that appear to be connected, 00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:30.310 align:middle line:84% the motions will be seen by them to reassemble 00:03:30.310 --> 00:03:33.280 align:middle line:84% the picture of their reality by which 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.620 align:middle line:90% the motions are interpreted. 00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:40.240 align:middle line:84% The sack of one's body is its changing composition, 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:45.790 align:middle line:84% decomposition, which is without authority even decomposition. 00:03:45.790 --> 00:03:49.300 align:middle line:84% Events are floating in a sole existence 00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:52.840 align:middle line:84% having no other manifestation from being 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.360 align:middle line:90% produced in the series. 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.890 align:middle line:84% So one has to be a nomad to continually engage 00:03:59.890 --> 00:04:04.000 align:middle line:84% one's decomposing self without meaning and so 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.400 align:middle line:90% in actual existence. 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.440 align:middle line:84% The Sumo is sitting with his back to Akira, a lying hump. 00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:16.149 align:middle line:84% The Sumo is upright with his legs hanging in front, his back 00:04:16.149 --> 00:04:20.529 align:middle line:84% a slab gazing at the ocean on the sand. 00:04:20.529 --> 00:04:25.240 align:middle line:84% The green rim swims with their being before it, 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.500 align:middle line:84% the Sumo is quiet inside with Akira rotten 00:04:29.500 --> 00:04:34.390 align:middle line:84% oozing chest lying as a hump behind him peacefully. 00:04:34.390 --> 00:04:38.710 align:middle line:84% There's groundless scrutiny, there's no ground. 00:04:38.710 --> 00:04:44.260 align:middle line:84% At the cafe, the green hump floats before her jetting up 00:04:44.260 --> 00:04:47.650 align:middle line:90% on hanging on its black cloud. 00:04:47.650 --> 00:04:53.410 align:middle line:84% It is in the blue hump oozing wounded can be seen in it, 00:04:53.410 --> 00:04:59.200 align:middle line:84% the black cloud hanging a stream behind him in the blue is seen. 00:04:59.200 --> 00:05:04.150 align:middle line:84% A starry sky is faced in which the emerald green hump is 00:05:04.150 --> 00:05:06.650 align:middle line:90% swallowed when at night. 00:05:06.650 --> 00:05:10.840 align:middle line:84% Another time people leaving the cafe go out, 00:05:10.840 --> 00:05:15.990 align:middle line:84% night is the scrutiny not quieted by the burning blue. 00:05:15.990 --> 00:05:20.440 align:middle line:84% The hippo turning away on the dawn path is in mind. 00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:25.200 align:middle line:84% So being quieted, it's seen barely. 00:05:25.200 --> 00:05:29.160 align:middle line:84% The samurai hangs lidless to the dawn. 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.570 align:middle line:84% One's teeth are clenched, so it cannot be at dawn, 00:05:33.570 --> 00:05:40.380 align:middle line:84% it is sleeping as such jetting at night when he's just coming 00:05:40.380 --> 00:05:45.010 align:middle line:84% to it as if coming and turning away in a tank. 00:05:45.010 --> 00:05:47.580 align:middle line:84% The dawn's just there and he's just 00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:50.670 align:middle line:84% coming to it, reaching to it, that 00:05:50.670 --> 00:05:54.300 align:middle line:84% seems to be that he's not moving when just at it. 00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:59.280 align:middle line:84% Beggars here so numerous it's like Calcutta. 00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:03.420 align:middle line:84% The physical life is non-existent by occurring 00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:08.490 align:middle line:84% from suppression, but is occurring by itself. 00:06:08.490 --> 00:06:13.110 align:middle line:84% One's only existence is in conflict per se, 00:06:13.110 --> 00:06:18.480 align:middle line:84% so that conflict is outside, it's only there moving. 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.640 align:middle line:84% The union is the only self when there's not one. 00:06:23.640 --> 00:06:28.020 align:middle line:84% Why is the being of one conflict solely? 00:06:28.020 --> 00:06:33.330 align:middle line:84% The one can't appear by itself, yet he appears. 00:06:33.330 --> 00:06:38.670 align:middle line:84% Sometimes it appears by itself, if one is without conflict, 00:06:38.670 --> 00:06:41.820 align:middle line:90% it isn't the same thing as one. 00:06:41.820 --> 00:06:47.080 align:middle line:84% If it is not one orb that which is only conflict. 00:06:47.080 --> 00:06:51.510 align:middle line:84% One is continually transgressing it in the conflict. 00:06:51.510 --> 00:06:55.260 align:middle line:84% This occurred in the past of my youth wanting 00:06:55.260 --> 00:06:58.530 align:middle line:84% to cling to him in existence is one, 00:06:58.530 --> 00:07:02.460 align:middle line:90% which is in it again by itself. 00:07:02.460 --> 00:07:08.190 align:middle line:84% Seeing existence outside of Akira of him, so that he floats 00:07:08.190 --> 00:07:11.670 align:middle line:90% is existence itself occurring. 00:07:11.670 --> 00:07:14.130 align:middle line:84% The bodies of the men in the night 00:07:14.130 --> 00:07:20.250 align:middle line:84% were backs and buttocks with the heels seen pinned as if they 00:07:20.250 --> 00:07:23.400 align:middle line:90% were black butterflies in it. 00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:29.040 align:middle line:84% Moving, yet, almost still flapping in the black. 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.830 align:middle line:84% In the bright blue day, the men were 00:07:31.830 --> 00:07:37.380 align:middle line:84% seen with only their backs hunched gills as if gray, 00:07:37.380 --> 00:07:40.980 align:middle line:84% their heels pinned as they walk, as 00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:45.450 align:middle line:84% if they're also a black butterfly in the blue 00:07:45.450 --> 00:07:47.460 align:middle line:90% because it's blue. 00:07:47.460 --> 00:07:51.960 align:middle line:84% So not dependent on the night as their existences aren't 00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:54.930 align:middle line:90% dependent in it or in day. 00:07:54.930 --> 00:07:57.810 align:middle line:84% They were moving beyond their dying, which 00:07:57.810 --> 00:08:03.870 align:middle line:84% hasn't occurred yet anyway, by the day having them in its blue. 00:08:03.870 --> 00:08:07.050 align:middle line:84% The black butterflies, which are only night 00:08:07.050 --> 00:08:10.260 align:middle line:90% can't be in the blazing blue. 00:08:10.260 --> 00:08:16.230 align:middle line:84% A man vomits the blazing blue when he's black butterfly still 00:08:16.230 --> 00:08:18.280 align:middle line:90% flapping in it. 00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:22.590 align:middle line:84% The street is a glazed place, the yellow cord 00:08:22.590 --> 00:08:26.370 align:middle line:84% in one's white lacquer apparently observes. 00:08:26.370 --> 00:08:31.860 align:middle line:84% The conflicts that one was only one transgressing that 00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:36.510 align:middle line:84% is not that conflict, transgressing that 00:08:36.510 --> 00:08:38.130 align:middle line:90% is not that conflict. 00:08:38.130 --> 00:08:44.550 align:middle line:84% One sees that conflict only in its being in the series that one 00:08:44.550 --> 00:08:49.680 align:middle line:84% is or was conflict solely, separable from existence 00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:52.260 align:middle line:90% is only its place. 00:08:52.260 --> 00:08:54.360 align:middle line:84% One didn't believe in that place, 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.240 align:middle line:84% believe that conflict then or see it, 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.320 align:middle line:84% but can see looking back in creeley series. 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.080 align:middle line:84% In there being only chronological, 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.110 align:middle line:90% in the collection of series. 00:09:07.110 --> 00:09:13.050 align:middle line:84% A figure vomits a black ocean yet standing in the black air. 00:09:13.050 --> 00:09:18.150 align:middle line:84% The heavy rain hitting and waves that waving up from the street. 00:09:18.150 --> 00:09:22.530 align:middle line:84% People huddling in doorways having run in troughs, 00:09:22.530 --> 00:09:29.160 align:middle line:84% and lightning hitting around when one crossed to them. 00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:34.500 align:middle line:84% -- vomits a black ocean, yet standing in the black air. 00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:39.390 align:middle line:84% The heavy rain hitting in waves, the waving up from the street 00:09:39.390 --> 00:09:42.000 align:middle line:84% people huddling in doorways having 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.690 align:middle line:84% run in troughs and lightning hitting around 00:09:45.690 --> 00:09:48.180 align:middle line:90% when one crossed to them. 00:09:48.180 --> 00:09:53.280 align:middle line:84% One breathed the purple clear roiling air. 00:09:53.280 --> 00:09:59.040 align:middle line:84% Akira carried by the worm silk suit billowing on it as it 00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:01.830 align:middle line:90% had fed on him in the air. 00:10:01.830 --> 00:10:07.000 align:middle line:84% Had come up floating, had jutting in the night to it, 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:12.120 align:middle line:84% which at night one figure vomits of black soft coagulation 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:16.470 align:middle line:84% in which the man comes up jetting hanging. 00:10:16.470 --> 00:10:17.310 align:middle line:90% Thank you. 00:10:17.310 --> 00:10:20.660 align:middle line:90% [APPLAUSE] 00:10:20.660 --> 00:10:44.000 align:middle line:90%
