00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:03.870 align:middle line:84%
There was a point
at which I thought

00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:08.800 align:middle line:84%
I understood what status was
and I wrote this poem about it.

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.500 align:middle line:84%
Now I'm not so sure whether I
covered it completely or not.

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:18.660 align:middle line:84%
But this is definitely an aspect
I think of attaining status.

00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:21.400 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Feeling Status."

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:24.240 align:middle line:84%
Whether we can see
it doesn't matter,

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:29.520 align:middle line:84%
our fingers find it around
corners of objects, glass jars,

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:36.030 align:middle line:84%
candle wax, or the cool side
of an old plow facing the wall.

00:00:36.030 --> 00:00:38.670 align:middle line:84%
Outside is just
one of its parts.

00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:41.400 align:middle line:84%
Texture within, a
thrill of the sort,

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:46.240 align:middle line:84%
got by a woman who can smile
slip into her own body.

00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.550 align:middle line:84%
She won't tell us how
it is, so we feel around

00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:53.100 align:middle line:90%
for it, the soft slickness.

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:56.700 align:middle line:84%
Once found, we put it
on like a wet felt hat

00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:59.790 align:middle line:84%
to show our friends
than the world,

00:00:59.790 --> 00:01:03.170 align:middle line:90%
look how much I can waste.

00:01:03.170 --> 00:01:04.000 align:middle line:90%
