    not sure if anyones seen this film, but there is a poem in it, which i really love

    The Earth Turned toThe Earth Turned to Bring Us Closer Bring Us Closer- by Eugenio Montejo
    i think he was from chile, anyway here is a translation from some dude called peter boyle

    • The Earth turned to bring us closer, it spun on itself and within us, and finally joined us together in this dream as written in the Symposium. Nights passed by, snowfalls and solstices; time passed in minutes and millennia. An ox cart that was on its way to Nineveh arrived in Nebraska.
      A rooster was singing some distance from the world, in one of the thousand pre-lives of our fathers. The Earth was spinning with its music carrying us on board; it didn't stop turning a single moment as if so much love, so much that's miraculous was only an adagio written long ago in the Symposium's score.
