4
12000
2000
我很清楚那節奏。
00:29
It is lifeless.
5
14000
2000
沒有生命的節奏。
00:31
I know intimately that skin you are hitting.
6
16000

我内心清楚你敲擊的那張皮
00:34
It was alive once,

01:01
because everyone is dancing.

46000
2000
只是因爲每個人都在跳舞。
01:03
Everyone can be wrong.
19
48000
2000
每個人都會錯。
01:05
Life is a right, not collateral or casual.

2000
我們的歌頌是我們的舞
01:17
Our humming will be drumming.
25
62000
2000
我們的低吟是我們的鼓
01:19
I will not be played.

64000
2000
沒有人可以主宰我
01:21
I will not lend my name nor my rhythm to your beat.
27
66000
4000
你的戰鼓下不會包含我的名字和節奏。
01:25
I will dance and resist and dance and persist and dance.
28
70000
4000
我會起舞、抗拒、起舞、繼續、再起舞。
01:29
This heartbeat is louder than death.
29
74000
3000
我的心跳比死亡還要響亮
01:32
Your war drum ain't louder

01:43
A bunch of pacifists.
34
88000
3000
一票和平主義者
01:46
Confused, aspiring pacifists.
35
91000
3000
困惑的抱有大志的和平主義者
01:49
I understand.
36
94000
3000
我懂。
01:53
I've been wrong a lot lately.
37
98000
3000
最近以來我作錯很多
01:58
Like a lot.
38
103000
2000
像很多。
02:00
So I couldn't figure out
39
105000
3000
所以我無法理出
02:03
what to read today.
40
108000
2000
今天要讀些什麽。
02:05
I mean, I've been saying I've been prepping.
41
110000
3000
我是說，我一直說我在預習
02:08
What that means is prepping my outfit,
42
113000
2000
那是在說預習我的外觀
02:10
(Laughter)
43
115000
2000
（笑聲）
02:12
prepping options,
44
117000
2000
預習選項
02:14
trying to figure out what I'm coming behind
45
119000
2000
試著去理清我離開了什麽
02:16
and going in front of.
46
121000
3000
將要面對什麽。
02:19
Poetry does that.
47
124000
2000
詩可以
02:21
It preps you. It aims you.
48
126000
3000
讓人做好準備。讓人找到目標。
02:24
So I am going to read a poem
49
129000
2000
所以接下來我要讀一首詩
02:26
that was chosen just now.
50
131000
2000
一首剛剛選的詩
02:28
But I'm going to need you
51
133000
2000
但是我會需要你
02:30
to just sit for like 10 minutes
52
135000
2000
好好的坐10分鐘
02:32
and hold a woman who is not here.
53
137000
3000
抱著一個不在這裡的女人
02:35
Hold her now
54
140000
3000
現在就抱她
02:38
with you.
55
143000
2000
靠緊你。
02:42
You don't need to say her name out loud, you can just hold her.
56
147000
2000
你不需要說出她的名字，只需抱著她。
02:44
Are you holding her?
57
149000
2000
你在抱她嗎？
02:49
This is "Break Clustered."
58
154000
3000
這是“打破集束（炸彈）“
02:53
All holy history banned.
59
158000
4000
所有神聖的歷史都禁止。
02:57
Unwritten books predicted the future, projected the past.
60
162000
4000
不成文的書預測了未來，影射了過去
03:01
But my head unwraps
61
166000
2000
然而我的頭打開了
03:03
around what appears limitless,
62
168000
3000
那看起來永無止境
03:06
man's creative violence.
63
171000
3000
人們富創意的暴力。
03:09
Whose son shall it be?
64
174000
3000
那是誰的兒子？
03:12
Which male child will perish a new day?
65
177000
4000
誰家的男孩在這新的一天要死亡？
03:16
Our boys' deaths galvanize.
66
181000
3000
為我們孩子們的死亡鍍銀
03:19
We cherish corpses.
67
184000
2000
我們珍惜屍體
03:21
We mourn women, complicated.
68
186000
2000
我們哀悼女人，複雜。
03:23
Bitches get beat daily.
69
188000
2000
壞女人天天被打
03:25
Profits made, prophets ignored.
70
190000
3000
先知被創造、被忽略
03:28
War and tooth, enameled salted lemon childhoods.
71
193000
3000
戰爭和傷痛裝飾了鹹鹹檸檬般的童年
03:31
All colors run, none of us solid.
72
196000
3000
所有的顔色失真，所有的我們脆弱
03:34
Don't look for shadow behind me. I carry it within.
73
199000
3000
不必在我身後找尋背影。我一直帶著。
03:37
I live cycles of light and darkness.
74
202000
3000
我活在光明和黑暗的周期
03:40
Rhythm is half silence.
75
205000
2000
節奏的一半是寂靜。
03:42
I see now, I never was one and not the other.
76
207000
3000
我現在懂了，我從未是一個，也不是另一個。
03:45
Sickness, health, tender violence.
77
210000
4000
生病，健康，溫柔的暴力。
03:49
I think now I never was pure.
78
214000
2000
我現在認爲我從未純潔。
03:51
Before form I was storm,
79
216000
3000
在成型以前我是風暴
03:54
blind, ign'ant -- still am.
80
219000
3000
盲目、無知—如今仍是
03:57
Human contracted itself blind, malignant.
81
222000
3000
人們和盲目、惡意結夥
04:00
I never was pure.
82
225000
2000
我從未是純潔的
04:02
Girl spoiled before ripened.
83
227000
3000
女孩們在成熟前就被摧殘
04:05
Language can't math me.
84
230000
2000
你無法用言語來計算我
04:07
I experience exponentially.
85
232000
2000
我經歷了對數平方的事
04:09
Everything is everything.
86
234000
3000
一切是一切
04:12

260000
2000
一個女人從沒相信過愛。
04:37
Where do refugee hearts go?
97
262000
3000
流亡者的心都到哪去了？
04:40
Broken, dissed,
98
265000
2000
碎了，分崩離析
04:42
placed where they're not from, don't want to be missed.
99
267000
3000
被放在不是故鄉的地方，不想被思念。
04:45
Faced with absence.
100
270000
2000
面無表情的臉孔
04:47
We mourn each one
101
272000
2000
我們為彼此哀悼
04:49
or we mean nothing at all.
102
274000
2000
或者這根本不代表什麽。
04:51
My spine curves spiral.
103
276000
3000
我的脊椎迴旋
04:54
Precipice running to and running from human beings.
