The next poem is
called "Shadow Boxing."

00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:15.624 align:middle line:84%
And he in the poem is the
shadow in case you get confused.

00:00:15.624 --> 00:00:22.270 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:22.270 --> 00:00:25.510 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes you almost
get a punch in.

00:00:25.510 --> 00:00:28.900 align:middle line:84%
Then you may go for days
without even seeing him

00:00:28.900 --> 00:00:32.680 align:middle line:84%
or his presence may become
a comfort for a while.

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:35.800 align:middle line:84%
He says, I saw you
scrambling last night

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:37.960 align:middle line:90%
on your knees and hands.

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.230 align:middle line:84%
He says, how come you always
want to be something else?

00:00:41.230 --> 00:00:44.710 align:middle line:84%
How come you never take
your life seriously?

00:00:44.710 --> 00:00:47.350 align:middle line:90%
And you say, shut up.

00:00:47.350 --> 00:00:49.420 align:middle line:84%
Isn't it enough
I say I love you.

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:51.820 align:middle line:90%
I give you everything.

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:55.570 align:middle line:84%
He moves across the room
with his hand on his chin

00:00:55.570 --> 00:00:59.590 align:middle line:90%
and says how great you are.

00:00:59.590 --> 00:01:00.520 align:middle line:90%
Come here.

00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.410 align:middle line:90%
Let me touch you, you say.

00:01:02.410 --> 00:01:04.209 align:middle line:90%
He comes closer.

00:01:04.209 --> 00:01:06.310 align:middle line:90%
Come closer, you say.

00:01:06.310 --> 00:01:08.200 align:middle line:90%
He comes closer.

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:14.710 align:middle line:84%
Then whack and you start
again moving around and around

00:01:14.710 --> 00:01:20.170 align:middle line:84%
the room, the room which grows
larger and larger, darker

00:01:20.170 --> 00:01:23.670 align:middle line:90%
and darker, the black moon.

00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:26.492 align:middle line:90%
