[00:00:53] And so finally here we are at the beginning of a whole new era
[00:01:01] The start of a brand new world
[00:01:06] And now what
[00:01:08] How do we start
[00:01:11] How do we begin again
[00:01:19] There are some things you can simply look up such as：
[00:01:23] The size of Greenland the dates of the famous 19th century rubber wars Persian adjectives the composition of snow
[00:01:39] And other things you just have to guess at
[00:01:46] And then again today's the day and those were the days and now these are the days and now the clock points histrionically to noon
[00:01:56] Some new kind of north
[00:01:59] And so which way do we go
[00:02:09] What are days for
[00:02:14] To wake us up to put between the endless nights
[00:02:24] And by the way here's my theory of punctuation：
[00:02:29] Instead of a period at the end of each sentence there should be a tiny clock that shows you how long it took you to write that sentence
[00:02:43] And another way to look at time is this：
[00:02:46] There was an old married couple and they had always hated each other never been able to stand the sight of each other really
[00:02:57] And when they were in their nineties they finally got divorced
[00:03:02] And people said：Why did you wait so long Why didn't you do this a whole lot earlier
[00:03:14] And they said：Well we wanted to wait until the children died
[00:03:27] Ah America
[00:03:30] And yes that will be America
[00:03:33] A whole new place just waiting to happen
[00:03:39] Broken up parking lots rotten dumps speed balls accidents and hesitations
[00:03:48] Things left behind
[00:03:51] Styrofoam computer chips
[00:04:02] And Jim and John oh they were there
[00:04:06] And Carol too
[00:04:08] Her hair pinned up in that weird beehive way she loved so much
[00:04:17] And Greg and Phil moving at the pace of summer
[00:04:22] And Uncle Al who screamed all night in the attic
[00:04:26] Yes something happened to him in the war they said over in France
[00:04:31] And France had become something they never mentioned
[00:04:36] Something dangerous
[00:04:46] Yeah some were sad to see those days disappear
[00:04:52] The flea markets and their smells the war
[00:04:57] All the old belongings strewn out on the sidewalks
[00:05:02] Mildewed clothes and old resentments and ragged record jackets
[00:05:12] And ah these days
[00:05:15] Oh these days
[00:05:20] What are days for
[00:05:24] To wake us up to put between the endless nights
[00:05:37] And meanwhile all over town checks are bouncing and accounts are being automatically closed
[00:05:45] Passwords are expiring
[00:05:47] And everyone's counting and comparing and predicting
[00:05:50] Will it be the best of times will it be the worst of times or will it just be another one of those times
[00:06:02] Show of hands please
[00:06:13] And ah this world which like Kierkegaard said can only be understood when lived backwards
[00:06:25] Which would entail an incredible amount of planning and confusion
[00:06:33] And then there are those big questions always in the back of your mind
[00:06:38] Things like：Are those two people over there actually my real parents
[00:06:47] Should I get a second Prius
[00:06:52] And you you who can be silent in four languages：Your silence will be considered your consent
[00:07:13] Oh but those were the days before the audience and what the audience wanted and what the audience said it wanted
[00:07:27] And you know the reason I really love the stars is that we cannot hurt them
[00:07:37] We can't burn them or melt them or make them overflow
[00:07:43] We can't flood them or blow them up or turn them out
[00:07:52] But we are reaching for them
[00:07:58] We are reaching for them
[00:08:10] Some say our empire is passing as all empires do
[00:08:18] And others haven't a clue what time it is or where it goes or even where the clock is
[00:08:31] And oh the majesty of dreams
[00:08:36] An unstoppable train
[00:08:40] Different colored wonderlands
[00:08:45] Freedom of speech and s*x with strangers
[00:08:59] Dear old God：May I call you old
