00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:05.070 align:middle line:90%
This is a fairly wild poem here.

00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:10.020 align:middle line:84%
I wrote these I was 25 so, you
have to forgive the ebullience.

00:00:10.020 --> 00:00:14.130 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:14.130 --> 00:00:17.760 align:middle line:84%
Your knees, those pinnacles
competing with the finest

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.480 align:middle line:84%
dimpled five-year-old
chins are dancing.

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.690 align:middle line:84%
Ecstatic as nuns in
their delirious habit,

00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:27.390 align:middle line:84%
like runaway needles
on a multiple graph.

00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:31.380 align:middle line:84%
The first organic model
of seismographs charting

00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:34.770 align:middle line:84%
the crest they keep
you on and on till all

00:00:34.770 --> 00:00:39.210 align:middle line:84%
the sensitive numbers on the
Richter scale ring out at once.

00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:44.310 align:middle line:84%
But silently, a choir
of Sundial alarms.

00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:49.140 align:middle line:84%
You reach that place levitated
by pleasure the first glimpse

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.510 align:middle line:84%
the melting glacier
must have had

00:00:51.510 --> 00:00:53.940 align:middle line:84%
rounding the
precipice of what came

00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:57.240 align:middle line:90%
to be known as Niagara Falls.

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.320 align:middle line:84%
After all this time
every time like a finger

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.459 align:middle line:84%
inside the tight gummed
spittle bright atavistic circle

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:07.960 align:middle line:84%
of a newborn's
fragile lipped mouth.

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:13.470 align:middle line:84%
I embrace you my heart, a four
celled embryo swimming a pulse.

00:01:13.470 --> 00:01:15.570 align:middle line:84%
A blood stream
that becomes month

00:01:15.570 --> 00:01:21.500 align:middle line:84%
to month less of a stranger
as more intimate her own.

00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:22.000 align:middle line:90%
