01:43
A bunch of pacifists.
34
88000

一群和平主义者。
01:46
Confused, aspiring pacifists.
35
91000
3000
困惑的、有抱负的和平主义者。
01:49
I understand.
36
94000
3000
我懂。
01:53
I've been wrong a lot lately.
37
98000
3000
最近我错了很多。
01:58
Like a lot.
38
103000
2000
真的是很多。
02:00
So I couldn't figure out
39
105000
3000
所以我想不出
02:03
what to read today.
40
108000
2000
今天要读写什么。
02:05
I mean, I've been saying I've been prepping.
41
110000
3000
我是说，我一直说我有在准备。
02:08
What that means is prepping my outfit,
42
113000
2000
那其实是指准备我的着装，
02:10
(Laughter)
43
115000
2000
（笑声）
02:12
prepping options,
44
117000
2000
准备选项，
02:14
trying to figure out what I'm coming behind
45
119000
2000
试图弄清我跟着什么来的，
02:16
and going in front of.
46
121000
3000
我会留下什么走。
02:19
Poetry does that.
47
124000
2000
诗歌能够
02:21
It preps you. It aims you.
48
126000
3000
帮你做准备，给你定方向。
02:24
So I am going to read a poem
49
129000
2000
所以我要朗诵一首诗。
02:26
that was chosen just now.
50
131000
2000
刚选定的一首。
02:28
But I'm going to need you
51
133000
2000
但大约需要各位
02:30
to just sit for like 10 minutes
52
135000
2000
坐10分钟
02:32
and hold a woman who is not here.
53
137000
3000
想象你抱着一个不在场的女人。
02:35
Hold her now
54
140000
3000
现在就拥她
02:38
with you.
55
143000
2000
入怀。
02:42
You don't need to say her name out loud, you can just hold her.
56
147000
2000
你不用说出她的名字，只要抱着她就好。
02:44
Are you holding her?
57
149000
2000
你正抱着她吗？
02:49
This is "Break Clustered."
58
154000
3000
这是“打破 集束炸弹”。
02:53
All holy history banned.
59
158000
4000
所有神圣的历史被禁。
02:57
Unwritten books predicted the future, projected the past.
60
162000
4000
无字之书预示了未来，映射了过去。
03:01
But my head unwraps
61
166000
2000
但我的头颅打开了，
03:03
around what appears limitless,
62
168000
3000
围绕那看似无限的东西，
03:06
man's creative violence.
63
171000
3000
人类创造性的暴力。
03:09
Whose son shall it be?
64
174000
3000
那会是谁的儿子？
03:12
Which male child will perish a new day?
65
177000
4000
哪个男孩会在新的一天死亡？
03:16
Our boys' deaths galvanize.
66
181000
3000
男孩们的死亡让人震惊。
03:19
We cherish corpses.
67
184000
2000
我们珍惜尸体。
03:21
We mourn women, complicated.
68
186000
2000
我们悼念女人，心情复杂。
03:23
Bitches get beat daily.
69
188000
2000
婊子每天被打。
03:25
Profits made, prophets ignored.
70
190000
3000
先知诞生了，又被无视。
03:28
War and tooth, enameled salted lemon childhoods.
71
193000
3000
战争和牙齿给酸咸的童年上了釉。
03:31
All colors run, none of us solid.
72
196000
3000
所有的色彩消失，我们中无一不脆弱。
03:34
Don't look for shadow behind me. I carry it within.
73
199000
3000
别在我的身后寻找影子。我把它放在心里。
03:37
I live cycles of light and darkness.
74
202000
3000
我生活在光明与黑暗的轮回之中。
03:40
Rhythm is half silence.
75
205000
2000
韵律的一半是寂静。
03:42
I see now, I never was one and not the other.
76
207000
3000
我现在明白，我从来不是一个，也不是另一个。
03:45
Sickness, health, tender violence.
77
210000
4000
疾病，健康，柔弱的暴力。
03:49
I think now I never was pure.
78
214000
2000
我现在觉得我从未纯洁过。
03:51
Before form I was storm,
79
216000
3000
成型之前我是场风暴，
03:54
blind, ign'ant -- still am.
80
219000
3000
盲目，无知 -- 现在还是。
03:57
Human contracted itself blind, malignant.
81
222000
3000
人类屈服于自身的盲目，恶毒。
04:00
I never was pure.
82
225000
2000
我从未纯洁过。
04:02
Girl spoiled before ripened.
83
227000
3000
女孩在成熟前被摧残。
04:05
Language can't math me.
84
230000
2000
无法用语言来计算我。
04:07
I experience exponentially.
85
232000
2000
我成倍地体验。
04:09
Everything is everything.
86
234000

Where do refugee hearts go?
97
262000
3000
流亡者的心去往何方？
04:40
Broken, dissed,
98
265000
2000
碎了，伤了，
04:42
placed where they're not from, don't want to be missed.
99
267000
3000
搁在了不是故乡的地方，不想被思念，
04:45
Faced with absence.
100
270000
2000
带着空洞的表情。
04:47
We mourn each one
101
272000
2000
我们悼念每一个，
04:49
or we mean nothing at all.
102
274000
2000
或者我们根本没有任何意图。
04:51
My spine curves spiral.
103
276000

我的脊梁弯成了螺旋。
