00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:04.720 align:middle line:84%
And because I think it's
important to write pieces

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:05.220 align:middle line:90%
like that.

00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:07.680 align:middle line:84%
But I also thinking about
the people that I come from,

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.620 align:middle line:84%
and I tried to not
live in that anger.

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:14.120 align:middle line:84%
But I think poems
like this next one

00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:16.000 align:middle line:84%
really helped me
get to that place.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.520 align:middle line:84%
And this is actually a poem
that comes from my friend

00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:20.740 align:middle line:84%
Chris's project that he
asked me to be a part of.

00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:23.720 align:middle line:90%
So thank you for that, Chris.

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:27.400 align:middle line:84%
This one's called
Allegiance to the Static.

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:33.000 align:middle line:84%
Imagine the mind field,
electric and corded,

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.120 align:middle line:84%
like a power line
rotted to our spines.

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:38.840 align:middle line:90%
It is periphery.

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.260 align:middle line:84%
This edge of our
skulls brings force.

00:00:42.260 --> 00:00:43.920 align:middle line:90%
How a storm does.

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.560 align:middle line:84%
Hovering, humming wings
above the wire release.

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.880 align:middle line:84%
Subconscious, dreams charge
out our fleshed mouths.

00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.120 align:middle line:90%
Light, stunned.

00:00:56.120 --> 00:00:58.200 align:middle line:90%
Light, loose.

00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:06.000 align:middle line:84%
We are creators, occipital and
unreborn, unsettling ourselves.

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.350 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]
