00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:08.370 align:middle line:84%
I think I'll read some
poems now from a very odd,

00:00:08.370 --> 00:00:10.770 align:middle line:84%
quirky little book
that I've published

00:00:10.770 --> 00:00:12.480 align:middle line:84%
called We're Laughing
at the Damage.

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:16.443 align:middle line:84%
I feel a little bit obligated
to do this because I brought

00:00:16.443 --> 00:00:17.610 align:middle line:90%
a bunch of these books here.

00:00:17.610 --> 00:00:20.400 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.450 align:middle line:84%
And I was reading from other
books, and people at Phoenix

00:00:24.450 --> 00:00:25.710 align:middle line:90%
were buying this book.

00:00:25.710 --> 00:00:27.570 align:middle line:84%
And they're going to
get it home and they're

00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:30.900 align:middle line:84%
going to think, my
gosh, what is this?

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:33.720 align:middle line:84%
Because they're very
different kinds of things.

00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:37.110 align:middle line:84%
They're very talky
and almost casual.

00:00:37.110 --> 00:00:40.380 align:middle line:84%
And I think I'll just read a
few because I haven't read them

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:41.600 align:middle line:90%
much anywhere.

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.360 align:middle line:90%


00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:47.400 align:middle line:90%
How did I get here?

00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:49.830 align:middle line:90%
This is not mine.

00:00:49.830 --> 00:00:52.020 align:middle line:84%
I need one person
who can tell me.

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:55.320 align:middle line:84%
One sign is plenty,
like a parakeet

00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.990 align:middle line:84%
caught in a cigarette
package or a griffin

00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:00.840 align:middle line:90%
with his foot stuck in a drain.

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.880 align:middle line:90%
Don't come wandering over here.

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.820 align:middle line:90%
I can make my own decision.

00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:07.140 align:middle line:90%
Sit down and be quiet.

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:09.830 align:middle line:90%
You're drunk and I'm not.

00:01:09.830 --> 00:01:11.000 align:middle line:90%
