I really wanted to stay awake |
| [00:04.715] |
I was trying to stay awake |
| [00:07.745] |
And it was about 7 o'clock on Sunday Morning |
| [00:14.772] |
Been up all night |
| [00:16.784] |
Knew I had to finish my work |
| [00:20.232] |
I knew I had to |
| [00:20.806] |
As I looked out my window it was |
| [00:24.411] |
Bright sunlight on the orange bricks of the next building |
| [00:30.132] |
Very bright sight somehow reflecting |
| [00:34.547] |
And through the window if I was able to understand |
| [00:37.760] |
I guess why I couldn't stay awake |
| [00:41.835] |
It was not conscious |
| [00:43.533] |
Before I realized I couldn't stay awake anymore |
| [00:47.347] |
But now it's even worse than before |
| [00:51.056] |
I was listening to a tape of a lecture on Buddhism |
| [00:59.311] |
At which I was present |
| [01:02.184] |
I heard myself asking a lot of stupid questions |
| [01:09.682] |
I was thickheaded at the lecture |
| [01:11.824] |
Sitting there on the floor |
| [01:13.522] |
But to hear it all now it's even worse than before |
| [01:17.518] |
Those shoes I had were some name I can't remember |
| [01:24.728] |
I found them in a wastebasket about to be emptied |
| [01:29.561] |
They're mostly the only shoes I wear |
| [01:31.285] |
When I found them they had been worn |
| [01:33.348] |
The bottoms were worn off |
| [01:38.103] |
Worn off on the edges |
| [01:39.618] |
They were mostly in good shape |
| [01:40.637] |
I found that they fit me |
| [01:43.249] |
I was very happy |
| [01:44.868] |
There was something about them that sticks to the floor when I walk |
| [01:51.791] |
It makes a noise |
| [01:53.672] |
I kept wearing them |
| [01:54.978] |
They got wet many times and now the stitches holding them together on the sides is coming apart |
| [02:02.658] |
Everywhere |
| [02:03.886] |
And you can see my colored socks in the hole where they come apart |
| [02:09.763] |
But they stick to the floor when I walk still |
| [02:12.663] |
Very noticeable |
| [02:14.073] |
I stepped in some sticky stuff |
| [02:15.275] |
Spilled by the door |
| [02:17.339] |
Since then it's even worse than before |
| [02:21.780] |
On Broadway one night |
| [02:25.541] |
There was this fairly high pitched, loud tone that sounded like a siren |
| [02:32.490] |
People were looking around to see where it came from |
| [02:38.106] |
The food store on the corner provided a lot of the light |
| [02:43.252] |
Because it was open |
| [02:45.525] |
Pretty soon I realized that the sound was coming from |
| [02:52.369] |
The hood of this one car that was parked on the street nearby |
| [02:56.940] |
It was empty and locked as you walked toward it |
| [03:02.792] |
And became even louder |
| [03:06.135] |
I first noticed the sound when I walked past the store |
| [03:10.184] |
But now it's even worse than before |
| [03:13.998] |
I really wanted to show somehow how things deteriorate |
| [03:20.320] |
Or how one bad thing leads to another |
| [03:24.500] |
At first there were plenty of things to point to |
| [03:28.862] |
Lots of people, places, things, ideas |
| [03:32.336] |
Turning to shit everywhere |
| [03:35.157] |
I could describe these instances |
| [03:37.848] |
But the more I thought about them |
| [03:40.722] |
The less they seemed to be negative things |
| [03:44.065] |
But appeared in the scenes as something completely new and productive |
| [03:47.905] |
And I couldn't talk about them in the same way |
| [03:52.633] |
But I knew it was true that there really are |
| [03:59.634] |
Dangerous crises |
| [04:00.757] |
Growing in many different places |
| [04:03.918] |
That I was blind to them |
| [04:10.867] |
Once it was easy to find something to deplore |
| [04:14.420] |
But now it's even worse than before |
| [04:18.207] |
The question is whether or not |
| [04:21.473] |
This kind of music is going to hypnotize you |
| [04:26.044] |
Do you resent being made to listen to |
| [04:29.597] |
This monotonous music |
| [04:33.358] |
Or having to listen to |
| [04:35.553] |
Such boring sentences |
| [04:36.728] |
Friends have said that by producing this kind of music |
| [04:41.378] |
People are put to sleep |
| [04:45.140] |
In fact, I've always thought this too |
| [04:47.752] |
I've always disliked the Rolling Stones |
| [04:49.920] |
Since I found out what they were up to |
| [04:53.499] |
So when the prospect of doing this very hypnotic music came to my mind |
| [05:01.231] |
I realized that I should at least bring up the problems of listening to this kind of rhythm |
| [05:06.090] |
That is, regularity may temporarily take your mind of the more important tasks we have |
| [05:13.195] |
I had to decide if it was in our best interest to present this |
| [05:21.554] |
But now that I went ahead and did it after asking what it was for |
| [05:24.506] |
Now it's even worse than before |
| [05:27.327] |
