00:00:01.118 --> 00:00:02.160 align:middle line:90%
"Day and Night Handball."

00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:04.745 align:middle line:90%
[NO AUDIO]

00:00:04.745 --> 00:00:06.580 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:09.520 align:middle line:84%
"I think of corner shots,
the ball hitting and dying

00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:11.860 align:middle line:84%
like a butterfly
on a windshield.

00:00:11.860 --> 00:00:14.440 align:middle line:84%
Shots so fun and
perverse, they begin

00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:18.790 align:middle line:84%
to live alongside weekends
of sex in your memory.

00:00:18.790 --> 00:00:21.880 align:middle line:84%
I think of serves delivered
deep to the left hand,

00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:24.280 align:middle line:84%
the ball sliding
off the sidewall

00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.950 align:middle line:84%
into the blindness
of one's body,

00:00:26.950 --> 00:00:30.610 align:middle line:84%
and diving returns that are
impossible except on days

00:00:30.610 --> 00:00:34.060 align:middle line:84%
when your body is all
rubber bands and dreams

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:37.180 align:middle line:90%
unfulfilled since childhood.

00:00:37.180 --> 00:00:40.120 align:middle line:84%
I think of a hand slicing
the face of a ball.

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:42.760 align:middle line:84%
So much English that
it comes back drunk

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:46.270 align:middle line:84%
to your opponent, who doesn't
have enough hands to hit it,

00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:47.890 align:middle line:90%
who hits it anyway.

00:00:47.890 --> 00:00:51.610 align:middle line:84%
Who makes you think
of God and God damn.

00:00:51.610 --> 00:00:54.130 align:middle line:84%
The pleasure of falling
to your knees for what

00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:57.190 align:middle line:90%
is superb, better than you.

00:00:57.190 --> 00:01:01.570 align:middle line:84%
But its position I think of
most, the easy slam and victory,

00:01:01.570 --> 00:01:04.750 align:middle line:84%
because you have a sense
of yourself and the court.

00:01:04.750 --> 00:01:08.080 align:middle line:84%
The sense that old men
gone in the knees have.

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:10.540 align:middle line:90%
One step in place of five.

00:01:10.540 --> 00:01:12.790 align:middle line:90%
Finesse in place of power.

00:01:12.790 --> 00:01:16.210 align:middle line:84%
And all the time the
four walls around you

00:01:16.210 --> 00:01:18.010 align:middle line:90%
creating the hardship.

00:01:18.010 --> 00:01:20.250 align:middle line:90%
The infinite variety."
