00:00:00.630 --> 00:00:01.960 align:middle line:90%
I think I have a few minutes.

00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:04.770 align:middle line:84%
So I'd like to just as
a bit of advertisement

00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:09.630 align:middle line:84%
read a few poems out of the
manuscript for that book

00:00:09.630 --> 00:00:10.710 align:middle line:90%
Points on the Grid.

00:00:10.710 --> 00:00:14.175 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.175 --> 00:00:23.260 align:middle line:84%
And I'll start with one
that I was asked to read,

00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:28.480 align:middle line:84%
which appeared not too long ago
in anthology of Canadian love

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.780 align:middle line:84%
poems called "Love Where
the Nights Are Long"

00:00:31.780 --> 00:00:37.360 align:middle line:84%
to which reference is made
in a new Playboy magazine.

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:41.670 align:middle line:90%


00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:45.556 align:middle line:84%
The article in Playboy is
called "The Girls of Canada."

00:00:45.556 --> 00:00:53.800 align:middle line:84%
[LAUGHTER] But Angela didn't
have her picture in there.

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:56.760 align:middle line:90%


00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:57.645 align:middle line:90%
"Steps of Love."

00:00:57.645 --> 00:01:00.810 align:middle line:90%


00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:04.379 align:middle line:84%
"Coming out of your clothes
you were a girl in the night,

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:08.610 align:middle line:84%
naked in a strange house,
receptive to a question

00:01:08.610 --> 00:01:12.030 align:middle line:90%
of what I would do.

00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:14.760 align:middle line:84%
You were for the
first time uncovered

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.990 align:middle line:84%
to me, your two white shoulders
thin in the air hunched

00:01:18.990 --> 00:01:21.360 align:middle line:90%
and shining there.

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:23.470 align:middle line:90%
And breast turning to me.

00:01:23.470 --> 00:01:27.750 align:middle line:84%
Cool skin of unimagined girl
suspended in shadow and hands

00:01:27.750 --> 00:01:32.490 align:middle line:84%
now bashful searching for
a place to rest behind you.

00:01:32.490 --> 00:01:35.040 align:middle line:90%
You listened to my silence.

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.650 align:middle line:84%
You gathered something
in your mind.

00:01:37.650 --> 00:01:41.280 align:middle line:84%
And you danced on your bare
feet with your long arms

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.400 align:middle line:90%
to meet me."
