Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:31,910
It's.
2
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:47,820
It's.
3
00:00:47,820 --> 00:01:25,720
Allow your breathing to become slow and even.
4
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,940
Breathe in.
5
00:01:31,940 --> 00:01:35,940
Breathe out.
6
00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:40,340
Breathe in.
7
00:01:40,340 --> 00:01:44,420
Breathe out.
8
00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:57,060
Slip your shoes off and loosen any tight clothing.
9
00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:02,300
More.
10
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:04,780
More.
11
00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:08,300
Be aware of your body.
12
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:13,260
Take it up gently in both hands.
13
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:16,460
Wherever it feels good.
14
00:02:16,460 --> 00:02:27,980
First one way, then the other.
15
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:35,480
Gathering, lifting, squeezing and releasing.
16
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,480
Relax.
17
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,840
Just so it feels good.
18
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Feel the lingering sensations.
19
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:56,510
Gently the other side.
20
00:02:56,510 --> 00:03:09,710
Nod your head up and down as if to say yes.
21
00:03:09,710 --> 00:03:16,990
From side to side.
22
00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:19,470
To say no.
23
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:30,400
With a feather soft touch with delicate fingers.
24
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,000
Be aware of the feelings in the palms of your hands.
25
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Let your mind come to rest.
26
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Deep within you.
27
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440
You may be there.
28
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,740
Enjoy the stillness.
29
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:03,340
Breathe in.
30
00:04:03,340 --> 00:04:06,620
Breathe out.
31
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:09,900
Breathe in.
32
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:13,420
Breathe out.
33
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:26,100
One search and follow the screen.
34
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:50,660
These tabernacles will have climate control.
35
00:04:50,660 --> 00:05:16,940
It.
36
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:49,840
Sam.
37
00:05:49,840 --> 00:06:10,460
Sa.
38
00:06:10,460 --> 00:07:01,280
Sam.
39
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:52,520
Lord.
40
00:07:52,520 --> 00:08:29,400
I went into the Pasadena museum one day, went into that big room way in the back, against one wall just as you walk in and opposite the big entrance is a.
41
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,360
I don't know what you would call it.
42
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:48,529
It's a railing or a banister and it's made of several metals like copper and brass and some that I, as I recall, have a silver rather than a gold color to them.
43
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:50,369
And it's something like.
44
00:08:50,369 --> 00:08:51,889
It's hard to explain what it is.
45
00:08:51,889 --> 00:08:53,169
It's very, very long.
46
00:08:53,169 --> 00:09:11,580
And the middle of this long railing was curved, sometimes in long slow S shaped curves and then sometimes curves that turned round in on themselves several times and were very more tightly curved.
47
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:17,860
And it had an outward flow and a self contained circular flow to it.
48
00:09:17,860 --> 00:09:22,140
And the colors were very rich, the metal colors were very rich and very warm.
49
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:35,420
I had a kind of a warm feeling come over me and I realized that I had this wave of desire going through my body to become this railing, to become this peace.
50
00:09:35,420 --> 00:09:37,820
And I could just feel my.
51
00:09:37,820 --> 00:09:57,900
My cells or my musculature or something give off a kind of a warmth in their desire to become that shape, to become that thing and to exist with those curves and that shape and that presence in the world and be that.
52
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:02,620
I could feel that desire move along my.
53
00:10:02,620 --> 00:10:05,020
I don't know, in my.
54
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:10,150
Seemed like in my small parts of my cells or something like that.
55
00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:30,860
And it was very diffused soft warmth that went out along me and it was like that warmth of that of desire, you know, that you can feel move out along your blood veins and it makes you have the feeling that almost your bones are getting soft inside.
56
00:10:30,860 --> 00:10:46,530
Sam.
57
00:10:46,530 --> 00:11:16,940
Haven't you ever thought about what it would be like to have say a black cat fur coat and to live inside a.
58
00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:22,490
What it Would be like to move through the world in a furniture.
59
00:11:22,490 --> 00:11:38,240
Sam.
60
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:48,600
It.
61
00:11:48,600 --> 00:12:39,710
Sam.
62
00:12:39,710 --> 00:12:56,180
Dear chick, I went to the rodeo to take pictures of the cowboys.
63
00:12:56,180 --> 00:13:00,660
The first thing that struck me was how handsome and sexy they seemed.
64
00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:04,980
It was probably the hats and boots and belts, especially the hats.
65
00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:08,910
Some flirted, some were embarrassed.
66
00:13:08,910 --> 00:13:10,790
Some just took it for granted.
67
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:12,430
It didn't seem to faze them.
68
00:13:12,430 --> 00:13:13,990
Somehow.
69
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:15,870
I don't think I acted my age.
70
00:13:15,870 --> 00:13:25,150
I felt kind of like a young girl who has just discovered the basic idea of sex and suddenly is in a barn full of animals and strange men.
71
00:13:25,150 --> 00:13:29,470
Finally, I photographed this one guy who was very macho.
72
00:13:29,470 --> 00:13:32,080
He had on a Mickey Mouse sweater.
73
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:38,560
He was tall, blonde, not as handsome as some, but more of a flirt.
74
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:42,640
He said, did I want to take a picture of him nude?
75
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,680
So I said, thinking there wouldn't be any way to do it there at the rodeo.
76
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:48,880
Sure.
77
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,000
This is really incredible.
78
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,080
Her writing has changed so much in this spot.
79
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,960
But it's really someone who's following the moment.
80
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,120
She's even made a mistake on her capital I.
81
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,640
So she says, sure.
82
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,960
And he immediately says, follow me.
83
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,320
Something held me back from seeing the obvious.
84
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:16,600
So me and him and about four other cowboys went up these stairs to a crummy dormitory room with no windows and iron bunk beds.
85
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,320
I was very nervous by this time.
86
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,760
I took a picture of him with only his boots and hat on, standing between two bunk beds.
87
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,210
I was so distracted.
88
00:14:27,210 --> 00:14:30,450
The negatives are all out of focus as well as underexposed.
89
00:14:30,450 --> 00:14:35,170
And then he jokingly said, what's your attitude on oral sex?
90
00:14:35,170 --> 00:14:37,090
And I said, well.
91
00:14:37,090 --> 00:14:39,810
And everyone laughed.
92
00:14:39,810 --> 00:14:43,650
Then he said he wanted a picture of him and me together.
93
00:14:43,650 --> 00:14:45,650
Well, how obvious can you get?
94
00:14:45,650 --> 00:14:48,610
I couldn't control the inevitable.
95
00:14:48,610 --> 00:14:53,920
And it had been inevitable for a lot longer than I admitted to myself.
96
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,880
There's another big mistake on the eye.
97
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,520
We made the picture, and he said, okay, Joe, turn out the lights now.
98
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,440
He wanted a blow job.
99
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,200
And at the moment, I was hoping that's all he wanted.
100
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,360
I was very nervous.
101
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,080
He was very fast and obviously pleased.
102
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:16,600
And at the very end, he let out this quiet, almost gentle cowboy yell.
103
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:22,120
The audience of four other cowboys was completely silent while the lights were out.
104
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,850
It seemed respectful of them.
105
00:15:24,850 --> 00:15:27,570
And it was pitch black in there.
106
00:15:27,570 --> 00:15:31,170
After the lights came on, he thanked me and asked my name.
107
00:15:31,170 --> 00:15:33,650
A lot of exclamation marks here.
108
00:15:33,650 --> 00:15:38,290
Well, I was pleased, but still nervous and scared.
109
00:15:38,290 --> 00:15:41,650
And then he said, you have to do it for my best friend.
110
00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:46,530
I went into action, collecting my camera to escape.
111
00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:49,760
I never made it, but the friend did.
112
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,680
It was inevitable.
113
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,240
Once again, the entire ceremony was repeated, photography and all.
114
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,000
And somehow it happened yet once more.
115
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,440
The third cowboy was nicer than the others.
116
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,000
He offered to fuck me.
117
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,720
I think he thought I deserved it.
118
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,760
As a reward.
119
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,160
He's got a lot of words crossed out right here.
120
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,840
Interesting.
121
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:22,330
After that, I managed to escape, although some threats were made toward my camera if I didn't agree to do a group photo.
122
00:16:22,330 --> 00:16:27,370
But the bull riding event was suddenly announced and they were gone.
123
00:16:27,370 --> 00:16:34,010
I was elated because I had escaped both injury and scandal.
124
00:16:34,010 --> 00:16:40,010
And as I walked down the steps, I spied the most handsome cowboy I'd seen all day.
125
00:16:40,010 --> 00:16:41,700
Extraordinary.
126
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:46,100
And I felt ecstatically in control again, safe in a public place.
127
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:49,860
So I said, I have to take your picture.
128
00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:52,980
And he grinned and said, what will you give me for it?
129
00:16:52,980 --> 00:16:54,900
News travels fast, I thought.
130
00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:59,700
So I took a picture and said, just a big smile and took another picture.
131
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:05,660
But before I had had a chance to take any more, he put his arm around me and whispered, ah, come on.
132
00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:07,220
I haven't had any for a week.
133
00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:11,750
Well, he was so handsome and more of a gentleman than the others.
134
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:21,110
And although I felt very weird by this time, I allowed him to take me over to his friend's horse stall.
135
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:29,350
I remember him saying there wasn't anything to worry about, that it didn't mean a thing, and his hat blew off.
136
00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:33,350
Once he said we'd get away from all these cowboys.
137
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:38,250
I was nervous and could hardly believe I was putting one foot in front of the other.
138
00:17:38,250 --> 00:17:40,410
He was pretty smooth.
139
00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:43,690
He posed nicely, just the right amount of macho.
140
00:17:43,690 --> 00:17:47,770
The horse barn was actually much nicer than the dormitory room.
141
00:17:47,770 --> 00:17:51,050
When he came, it was just like the other three.
142
00:17:51,050 --> 00:17:55,930
Silence, followed by this quiet cowboy yell.
143
00:17:55,930 --> 00:18:02,710
Then he put his hands on my shoulders and said, that's the best thing that's happened to me all week.
144
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:10,070
As we walked back to the rodeo, I told him how unreal and kind of crazy I felt because I had never done anything like this before.
145
00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:13,350
He said it didn't matter, didn't mean anything.
146
00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:16,070
Could I think of anything better than an orgasm?
147
00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:19,270
Well, I could only say, ah, no.
148
00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:21,750
But it made me feel better to say it.
149
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:27,550
And the last thing he said about the day was, it would make a good spirit story to tell my grandchildren.
150
00:18:27,550 --> 00:18:29,630
He didn't say it like it was a joke.
151
00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:35,110
I consign the experience to memory, one half regretting, but one half relieved.
152
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:41,550
I didn't know his name or address, but photography is a power to be reckoned with.
153
00:18:41,550 --> 00:18:44,590
I didn't notice it in the proof sheet.
154
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:48,910
But the enlargement plainly shows his name visible on his belt buckle.
155
00:18:48,910 --> 00:18:52,590
I haven't experienced such an obsession since his adolescence.
156
00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:54,750
I don't know where it will wind up.
157
00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:56,750
I know where he lives now.
158
00:18:56,750 --> 00:19:44,960
The following is a presentation of classic Radio.
159
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:59,360
Pillsbury snow sheen, cake flower brings you grand central.
160
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:36,200
As the bullet seeks target.
161
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,680
Shining rails in every part of our great country are aimed at Grand Central Station.
162
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,520
Part of the nation's greatest city.
163
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,960
Drawn by the magnetic force of the fantastic metropolis.
164
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,920
Day and night great trains rush toward the Hudson River.
165
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,720
Sweep down its eastern bank for 140 miles.
166
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,720
Flash briefly by the long red royal tenement houses south of 125th Street.
167
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,670
Dive with a roar into the soon wild half mile tunnel which burrows beneath the glittering swank of Park Avenue.
168
00:21:01,670 --> 00:21:06,220
And then Grand Central Station.
169
00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:09,420
Crossroads of a million 500 miles.
170
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:13,740
Gigantic stage on which I'll play the thousand Farmers daily.
171
00:21:13,740 --> 00:21:32,950
This is a love story for stage struck souls who have at one time or another been intoxicated by the heady perfume of the theater.
172
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:40,830
But when you feel that deep within you there burns that divine but dizzy spark which will win you fame and fortune.
173
00:21:40,830 --> 00:21:46,470
Back of the footlight Remember, the door to the stage is not on the Great White Way.
174
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:49,110
It usually opens off an alley.
175
00:21:49,110 --> 00:22:03,360
We would go down to the river and I would take off my shirt and my pants and my shoes and stack them there between the rocks and dive into the water.
176
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:08,080
Could look up through it and it looked like seven up bubbles.
177
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,240
The water was so clear and looking down through it it was green.
178
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,480
The green would shimmer on the rocks and play and dance.
179
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,730
Make light images up in your eyes.
180
00:22:20,730 --> 00:22:26,090
I would dive down, go into the green and come back up.
181
00:22:26,090 --> 00:22:44,650
Looking at the silver shine of the surface of the water break through and feel the cold fish like feel as you come out into the cold air and diving in and up and down and in and up and down and back again.
182
00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:51,490
I'd get tired, Go back to grandpa's open arms.
183
00:22:51,490 --> 00:23:03,530
Waiting on the on the bank with a big towel and he'd throw it around me, wipe off the fish slime in the water.
184
00:23:03,530 --> 00:23:09,690
And I would put.
185
00:23:09,690 --> 00:23:13,380
Put at least my shoes on.
186
00:23:13,380 --> 00:23:17,460
Slosh back to the cabin.
187
00:23:17,460 --> 00:23:30,500
Craters of the moon made by my drips from my nose and my my mouth onto the D.
188
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:39,590
Man.
189
00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:43,310
My tennis shoes flopping up dust.
190
00:23:43,310 --> 00:23:46,590
Dust patches like smoke behind me.
191
00:23:46,590 --> 00:23:53,550
Grandpa would lead the way with his cane.
192
00:23:53,550 --> 00:23:56,110
I was young, only seven.
193
00:23:56,110 --> 00:24:01,950
But yeah, because we would make love there on the couch.
194
00:24:01,950 --> 00:24:04,910
On the red corduroy couch in the living Room.
195
00:24:04,910 --> 00:24:09,710
We had a cat that would jump up on the.
196
00:24:09,710 --> 00:24:11,630
On the couch too.
197
00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:14,670
It was a black cat with green eyes.
198
00:24:14,670 --> 00:24:22,590
And the light of the fire would dance off the cat's eyes.
199
00:24:22,590 --> 00:24:33,430
And I trust in Grandpa.
200
00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:40,390
He even fell into enjoying it sometimes at night.
201
00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:51,470
Late at night with the fire crackling and just the light from the fire lighting up the living room.
202
00:24:51,470 --> 00:24:52,150
We would lay.
203
00:24:52,150 --> 00:25:00,880
And you'd kiss me a long, long time.
204
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:08,480
On my breasts that weren't even breasts yet that were just like a little boy's.
205
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,120
And on my mouth.
206
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:16,000
And he would use his tongue.
207
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,840
Sometimes he would take my shirt off or take my pants off or.
208
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,240
And just stroke my body.
209
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:34,320
I remember once I saw his penis, though, and it was so strange.
210
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,400
Like a snake.
211
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,000
The same kind of head.
212
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,560
Like a velvet snake.
213
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,040
A pink velvet snake, but it was a velvet snake.
214
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,560
And he used it a lot on.
215
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,300
I suppose my.
216
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:52,860
What I know now is Michael Torres.
217
00:25:52,860 --> 00:25:54,940
I mean, he was an old man.
218
00:25:54,940 --> 00:25:56,220
He certainly knew how to make love.
219
00:25:56,220 --> 00:25:57,900
And he would.
220
00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:02,620
He would make me feel good.
221
00:26:02,620 --> 00:26:08,460
He wanted to teach me how to make love.
222
00:26:08,460 --> 00:26:10,700
He said it would be what men would do later.
223
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:17,190
Or what I would do later as a man.
224
00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:20,390
He taught me how to.
225
00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:25,270
How to be sensual, I guess.
226
00:26:25,270 --> 00:26:32,230
I suppose that's what he intended to do.
227
00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:41,350
It almost felt like it wasn't really happening at night sometimes I didn't want to be feeling what was happening.
228
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:53,590
Whatever it was, it was too close and too strong and it scared me.
229
00:26:53,590 --> 00:27:02,870
I just wouldn't allow myself to be alone with him after I realized what the.
230
00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:06,630
What the f.
231
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:07,590
What we were doing.
232
00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:36,440
Or I would jump out of bed before him in the morning or I would feign sleep at night.
233
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,720
All the typical female tactics of avoidance.
234
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,640
And I learned them young.
235
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,720
Now I'm a master at it.
236
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,400
Nobody should feel that way.
237
00:27:53,400 --> 00:28:07,290
Pursued and then captured and really captured.
238
00:28:07,290 --> 00:28:08,530
Because there's no way out.
239
00:28:08,530 --> 00:28:13,970
There's real helplessness in that.
240
00:28:13,970 --> 00:31:44,250
When I lived in Paris, I was very promiscuous.
241
00:31:44,250 --> 00:31:50,730
Sex in the afternoon, 1am Rendezvous.
242
00:31:50,730 --> 00:32:00,250
Driving home alone in the cab at 5am.
243
00:32:00,250 --> 00:32:08,920
Reading Wittgenstein in the morning and painting and dancing to Count Basie.
244
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:14,120
When I moved to New York, I decided it was time to get really hooked.
245
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,999
To get hooked on a man.
246
00:32:16,999 --> 00:32:27,240
So I moved to New York and I found myself a real killer.
247
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:39,650
This guy was a real killer.
248
00:32:39,650 --> 00:32:44,290
And I was really hooked.
249
00:32:44,290 --> 00:32:55,580
Pain is total environment.
250
00:32:55,580 --> 00:33:01,580
And I was hooked on total environment.
251
00:33:01,580 --> 00:33:06,660
And that was two and a half years of pain.
252
00:33:06,660 --> 00:33:10,540
And I used to think every time he left that it would get easier.
253
00:33:10,540 --> 00:33:17,100
But it didn't it got harder.
254
00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:23,270
The last time he left.
255
00:33:23,270 --> 00:33:24,230
It got so bad.
256
00:33:24,230 --> 00:33:32,310
That I became completely agonized in my own pain.
257
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:37,430
I used up all my good friends.
258
00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:47,110
They would give me television sets, anything to keep me from calling them up one more time to tell them about my pain.
259
00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:53,590
I was hooked to my pain.
260
00:33:53,590 --> 00:34:00,310
But actually, that was the one thing I must say.
261
00:34:00,310 --> 00:34:04,630
I found that I was not masochistic, actually.
262
00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:08,790
So I didn't like that particular hook pain.
263
00:34:08,790 --> 00:34:25,280
Those were the days when we were all experimenting in drugs, taking dope.
264
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,640
Those are the big doper days.
265
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:32,600
And I was taking this and taking that.
266
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:32,960
And.
267
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:43,050
I decided to replace one total environment with another total environment.
268
00:34:43,050 --> 00:34:44,810
In order to get rid of this pain.
269
00:34:44,810 --> 00:34:48,890
I decided to get hooked to something that I could.
270
00:34:48,890 --> 00:34:55,290
Touch and see and control.
271
00:34:55,290 --> 00:35:01,850
Of course, when you really get hooked, you're not controlling it anymore, but that's part of the romance.
272
00:35:01,850 --> 00:35:22,120
So I very carefully planned a program of getting hooked.
273
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:28,930
How I would do it and when I would do it and what I would do.
274
00:35:28,930 --> 00:35:59,420
So every day I would go to work, make sure that I did not lose my job and come home and score, and very carefully do a little ritual of shooting up smack, heroin, and then go to.
275
00:35:59,420 --> 00:36:09,700
And then paint and then go to work the next day until finally it worked.
276
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:10,620
I was hooked.
277
00:36:10,620 --> 00:36:20,870
We used to go to Brooklyn to score every other day.
278
00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:28,150
Standing in hallways, waiting in cars.
279
00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:40,630
It was very good.
280
00:36:40,630 --> 00:36:52,480
The interesting thing about the phenomena of being hooked is that there's always something good.
281
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,280
Otherwise, there's nothing to get hooked to.
282
00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:02,400
There's always something, and smack had something good.
283
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:11,940
It took away the pain so that you saw everything and felt everything, but it didn't hurt.
284
00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:27,700
Actually, it was great fun too.
285
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:30,980
Meet a lot of interesting people on the street.
286
00:37:30,980 --> 00:37:54,110
Finally, I was going to work and nodding out at my desk or snorting up a little bit in the bathroom during work time or not going to work at all.
287
00:37:54,110 --> 00:38:01,490
And I knew that the time had come to quite.
288
00:38:01,490 --> 00:38:04,840
That was the plan.
289
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,800
Turn on until you get hooked.
290
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:14,760
And when you get really hooked, quit.
291
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:20,920
What was really rough was that I didn't want to quit after all.
292
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:21,560
It was good.
293
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,360
It was sensuous and it was precise.
294
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:31,870
It had its own state of mind, its own ambiance, its own.
295
00:38:31,870 --> 00:38:35,150
Its own world.
296
00:38:35,150 --> 00:38:40,750
And as you get better, you ask yourself, why am I kicking?
297
00:38:40,750 --> 00:38:41,710
It's so good.
298
00:38:41,710 --> 00:38:54,760
It's so clear and so real and so spacious.
299
00:38:54,760 --> 00:39:03,280
But I did it.
300
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,200
That was the plan.
301
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,440
And I did it.
302
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,040
I kicked and I never turned on again.
303
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,360
And I exorcised him.
304
00:39:12,360 --> 00:40:09,670
Sa.
305
00:40:09,670 --> 00:41:18,040
Nam.
306
00:41:18,040 --> 00:42:19,330
Sa.
307
00:42:19,330 --> 00:42:59,980
It's.
308
00:42:59,980 --> 00:43:33,910
Okay.
309
00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:49,360
This is, this is going to be a little bit, a little bit difficult.
310
00:43:49,360 --> 00:44:14,410
I guess I'm supposed to start talking about certain experiences that I've had.
311
00:44:14,410 --> 00:44:26,890
And right now I feel kind of shaky and frightened.
312
00:44:26,890 --> 00:44:38,740
All right.
313
00:44:38,740 --> 00:44:50,820
I was born in Poland in 1941, which was right in the.
314
00:44:50,820 --> 00:44:54,750
Approximately in the middle of the war.
315
00:44:54,750 --> 00:44:59,710
And I came to the United States in 1949.
316
00:44:59,710 --> 00:45:03,150
And.
317
00:45:03,150 --> 00:45:12,830
It's hard.
318
00:45:12,830 --> 00:45:23,720
It's hard to talk about things like this, But I'm embarrassed.
319
00:45:23,720 --> 00:45:36,440
Embarrassed?
320
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,840
No, I'm not embarrassed.
321
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:38,920
Yes, I'm embarrassed.
322
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:50,790
I've had experiences that I keep struggling with to this day.
323
00:45:50,790 --> 00:46:01,590
One of them is of opening myself up and being vulnerable and letting you know how I really feel.
324
00:46:01,590 --> 00:46:21,520
Mainly because as a child it was demanded almost that you didn't make a sound during a specific time because people were after you, the people being Nazis.
325
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,520
And we were always hiding.
326
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:30,240
And if we were to make any kind of a sound, then they would find us.
327
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:40,160
And our next door neighbor, who was a 16 year old boy, had told on us that that house next door, they're hiding Jews.
328
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,400
So consequently we had Gestapo coming in and visiting us.
329
00:46:44,400 --> 00:47:00,000
And I remember being put on a Gestapo officer's lap to divert his attention from any noises or anything and sitting on his lap and playing cute and being charming, you know.
330
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:12,620
And I remember I understood that why I was being placed in that situation and what my job was.
331
00:47:12,620 --> 00:47:15,620
It felt like a job.
332
00:47:15,620 --> 00:47:17,180
It felt like I had to do something.
333
00:47:17,180 --> 00:47:21,500
And I remember flirting with him.
334
00:47:21,500 --> 00:47:23,500
I remember that that's what I was doing.
335
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:30,170
I was woken up in the middle of the night and I think I was around 3 1/2 years old by my mother.
336
00:47:30,170 --> 00:47:48,560
And she sat me on a table and was putting my shoes on and I heard noises all over the place and there was all kinds of rushing and yelling and screaming.
337
00:47:48,560 --> 00:48:07,050
And the next thing I know we were being rushed out of the house and taken for a very long walk.
338
00:48:07,050 --> 00:48:09,610
But.
339
00:48:09,610 --> 00:48:20,490
I insisted that we take my kittens with us.
340
00:48:20,490 --> 00:48:29,380
Oh, yes, I had.
341
00:48:29,380 --> 00:48:36,740
I had little kittens and they were born in my crib and they were very dear to me.
342
00:48:36,740 --> 00:49:01,150
And my father put the kittens in the birdcage and we walked and there were a whole bunch of us and we walked and kept walking and walking and there was a whole lot of people with us and we walked for miles.
343
00:49:01,150 --> 00:49:05,390
And I remember that it was very necessary for me to be very brave.
344
00:49:05,390 --> 00:49:10,470
I didn't quite know what was going on, but I like that feeling.
345
00:49:10,470 --> 00:49:11,270
I remember.
346
00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:19,680
And I remember that I liked now being brave then, because I knew then that there was some kind of trouble.
347
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,720
And I remember.
348
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:41,130
A hill, a huge hill with a lot of fire just a little bit above the hill and explosions of all sorts.
349
00:49:41,130 --> 00:49:46,770
I remember how frightened everybody was.
350
00:49:46,770 --> 00:49:48,970
And we had some kind of a guide with us.
351
00:49:48,970 --> 00:49:56,890
And I remember my father carrying the birdcage with the kittens in it.
352
00:49:56,890 --> 00:50:04,010
And I remember I felt proud of myself because I didn't want to be carried.
353
00:50:04,010 --> 00:50:12,750
And I remember that hill, you know.
354
00:50:12,750 --> 00:50:19,990
And I remember that over that hill, there was something very bad going on there.
355
00:50:19,990 --> 00:50:28,950
And then there's a black.
356
00:50:28,950 --> 00:51:46,750
Sa.
357
00:51:46,750 --> 00:52:12,200
It.
358
00:52:12,200 --> 00:54:21,470
It.
