00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:03.450 align:middle line:90%
To and fro.

00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:06.270 align:middle line:84%
On the train to
California, a black porter

00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:09.990 align:middle line:84%
told me we don't serve
Indians hard liquor chief.

00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:11.790 align:middle line:90%
I said that's OK man.

00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:15.240 align:middle line:84%
When I got home, my wife asked
what are you doing back here?

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.430 align:middle line:90%
I said, I came home.

00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:19.200 align:middle line:90%
Actually I was a fugitive.

00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:24.030 align:middle line:84%
I had decided that at 8:00 AM in
the East Commons over scalding

00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:27.120 align:middle line:84%
coffee sitting at an
imitation wood table

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.160 align:middle line:84%
as I watched the
crowds of students

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.430 align:middle line:84%
mangle each other
before breakfast.

00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:34.500 align:middle line:84%
I had several strange
moments thinking

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.050 align:middle line:84%
of Charles Olson and
language, thinking

00:00:37.050 --> 00:00:39.030 align:middle line:84%
about a point in
particular the night

00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:41.550 align:middle line:84%
before when the night
and the connections

00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:43.230 align:middle line:90%
were one and the same.

00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:47.460 align:middle line:84%
And I had touched a sustaining
motion realizing the energy,

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:52.080 align:middle line:84%
realizing the energy that
language is and becomes.

00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:53.850 align:middle line:90%
I had to leave California.

00:00:53.850 --> 00:00:57.150 align:middle line:84%
I told my wife later
but kept secret.

00:00:57.150 --> 00:01:01.410 align:middle line:84%
That dove I had heard one
precarious morning when

00:01:01.410 --> 00:01:04.980 align:middle line:84%
I was sick and moaned
for home pushing back

00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:09.500 align:middle line:84%
the memory of a boy in
summer morning feels.

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:10.000 align:middle line:90%
