00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:09.160 align:middle line:90%
Landmark

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.840 align:middle line:84%
All night, all the cities
in the thickening darkness.

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:15.280 align:middle line:90%
All night, All the roads.

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:18.200 align:middle line:84%
All night, all the houses
with their punched-in

00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.800 align:middle line:84%
eyes in the sickening,
sickening darkness.

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.380 align:middle line:90%
I slept on the roof.

00:00:24.380 --> 00:00:25.820 align:middle line:90%
I slept in the yard.

00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:29.700 align:middle line:84%
I slept in the closet, under
the cuffs of a dozen shirts

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:32.640 align:middle line:84%
when I thought there was
something in the room with me.

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.840 align:middle line:84%
There was nothing
in the room with me.

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:36.760 align:middle line:90%
I slept.

00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:39.780 align:middle line:90%
O pioneers, I kicked in doors.

00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:41.220 align:middle line:90%
The sound of hooves.

00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:42.820 align:middle line:90%
We must not tarry.

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:47.580 align:middle line:84%
Night has descended and all its
stars, they crackle and burn

00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:52.200 align:middle line:84%
while I am left here
silent in the dimmed arena.

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.400 align:middle line:84%
I swear to god,
there must have been

00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:59.400 align:middle line:84%
a day on the beach or a secret
dip in the lake after dinner

00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:03.640 align:middle line:84%
I must have walked all
night against the wind once,

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.200 align:middle line:90%
trying to get somewhere.

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.480 align:middle line:90%
There must have been.

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.560 align:middle line:90%
I slept on the plaid couch.

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.180 align:middle line:84%
I slept in the house
with the red kitchen.

00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:16.530 align:middle line:84%
I fell out of bed and
slept on the floor

00:01:16.530 --> 00:01:19.330 align:middle line:84%
in a square of
astonishing moonlight.

00:01:19.330 --> 00:01:23.730 align:middle line:84%
I crawled there, hand over
hand, from the darkness

00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:26.650 align:middle line:90%
of a terrible dream.

00:01:26.650 --> 00:01:31.810 align:middle line:84%
Believe me, something is
heaving, incomprehensible.

00:01:31.810 --> 00:01:34.230 align:middle line:84%
The house is filling
up with strangers,

00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:38.010 align:middle line:84%
and the picture frames
fall off the walls.

00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:41.330 align:middle line:90%
There isn't a word for it.

00:01:41.330 --> 00:01:47.670 align:middle line:84%
Metal, powder, rust, a pear;
even here a night flight,

00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:51.810 align:middle line:84%
a tense change,
struck like a bell.

00:01:51.810 --> 00:01:54.410 align:middle line:90%
What's that in your drink?

00:01:54.410 --> 00:01:56.410 align:middle line:90%
Have you been here long?

00:01:56.410 --> 00:02:01.370 align:middle line:84%
O why won't you
love me, love me?

00:02:01.370 --> 00:02:05.030 align:middle line:84%
There isn't a word for
it, moonlight, slippery.

00:02:05.030 --> 00:02:08.250 align:middle line:84%
There isn't a word
for it, moonlight.

00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:11.690 align:middle line:90%
Through every window at once.

00:02:11.690 --> 00:02:14.050 align:middle line:90%
I concentrated on the moon.

00:02:14.050 --> 00:02:19.370 align:middle line:84%
I dug a hole in the sky
and called it the moon.

00:02:19.370 --> 00:02:24.670 align:middle line:84%
A hole in the sky and
we call it the moon.

00:02:24.670 --> 00:02:27.720 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:31.000 align:middle line:90%
