Objects In Space (Live) - La Dispute[00:00:00]

Yesterday alone I laid everything out on the carpet[00:00:15]

Books kitchen things[00:00:18]

Objects with specific purpose or none[00:00:21]

Arranged them sideways in a grid on the floor there unmoored[00:00:24]

Out of context and then considered it[00:00:27]

First the whole picture[00:00:29]

Then everything individually[00:00:31]

Humming along at the deadest pace imaginable[00:00:33]

One object then another and then the next[00:00:36]

And I wondered what they meant there[00:00:41]

If they meant anything still[00:00:43]

Found notes[00:00:48]

Camping supplies[00:00:49]

A book you bought in the desert[00:00:51]

Identifying wildflowers[00:00:53]

Pictures from vacations[00:00:55]

From parties[00:00:56]

Kitschy gifts we bought from rest stops[00:00:58]

On that road trip out west[00:01:00]

Objects[00:01:03]

Everything itself[00:01:05]

And then memory[00:01:07]

All of it laid out there[00:01:11]

From the dining room[00:01:12]

The living room[00:01:13]

The hallway and the basement and the kitchen[00:01:15]

From that room we called the office[00:01:18]

But never used[00:01:20]

Even the bathroom[00:01:22]

Everything laid out there on the floor on the carpet[00:01:24]

Out of context[00:01:27]

And I sat there for hours[00:01:39]

Today I moved everything from the floor to the table[00:01:51]

In the dining room[00:01:54]

Placed each thing carefully without reason[00:01:55]

Or at least without one I understood or could describe[00:01:57]

There on the table together[00:02:00]

And when I was done[00:02:03]

And stepped back[00:02:04]

I realized what I had made[00:02:05]

Keepsakes pictures letters ordinary[00:02:07]

Objects all collected there[00:02:10]

A memorial[00:02:13]

And I thought of ones on highways[00:02:16]

Or set by gravestones[00:02:17]

All the things you see there[00:02:19]

But don't understand[00:02:20]

But still bring a remembered thing back vividly[00:02:22]

Invoke someone's reality[00:02:25]

When there together in that place in that way[00:02:26]

Out of context[00:02:29]

And I knew I had to take it down[00:02:32]

Before anybody else saw[00:02:34]

Tomorrow I plan to put them all somewhere[00:02:39]

Those things[00:02:41]

In boxes[00:02:43]

Side of the road[00:02:44]

Attic maybe[00:02:45]

All these things that push and pull me through history[00:02:47]

To places I once was places I might've gone[00:02:51]

Places I ended up going[00:02:55]

Postcards[00:03:00]

Ticket stubs from one thing or another[00:03:02]

A personalized coffee mug[00:03:05]

Neither your name nor mine[00:03:07]

Phone cards and old phones[00:03:10]

A page from an old calendar I bought[00:03:12]

Once at a thrift store and insisted on hanging[00:03:14]

That cycles of the moon print[00:03:17]

Photos[00:03:20]

Old boots of mine[00:03:21]

Put them in boxes[00:03:25]

And I sat there for hours[00:03:31]

In the living room first[00:03:33]

Then in the dining room[00:03:34]

Moving things around[00:03:37]

Picking things up and seeing where they took me[00:03:38]

To what place in history[00:03:41]

What moment on our timeline[00:03:44]

Where we were where I was[00:03:46]

Where I thought we'd end up[00:03:50]

In this house or on the highway[00:03:52]

Driving somewhere near Christmas[00:03:54]

In the desert or anywhere else[00:03:57]

And I put them in boxes[00:04:01]
