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

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

[00:00:18] Books kitchen things

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

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

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

[00:00:29] First the whole picture

[00:00:31] Then everything individually

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

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

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

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

[00:00:48] Found notes

[00:00:49] Camping supplies

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

[00:00:53] Identifying wildflowers

[00:00:55] Pictures from vacations

[00:00:56] From parties

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

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

[00:01:03] Objects

[00:01:05] Everything itself

[00:01:07] And then memory

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

[00:01:12] From the dining room

[00:01:13] The living room

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

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

[00:01:20] But never used

[00:01:22] Even the bathroom

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

[00:01:27] Out of context

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

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

[00:01:54] In the dining room

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

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

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

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

[00:02:04] And stepped back

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

[00:02:07] Keepsakes pictures letters ordinary

[00:02:10] Objects all collected there

[00:02:13] A memorial

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

[00:02:17] Or set by gravestones

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:29] Out of context

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

[00:02:34] Before anybody else saw

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

[00:02:41] Those things

[00:02:43] In boxes

[00:02:44] Side of the road

[00:02:45] Attic maybe

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

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

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

[00:03:00] Postcards

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

[00:03:05] A personalized coffee mug

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:20] Photos

[00:03:21] Old boots of mine

[00:03:25] Put them in boxes

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

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

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

[00:03:37] Moving things around

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:54] Driving somewhere near Christmas

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

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