00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:10.870 align:middle line:84%
And then from Near
or Random Acts,

00:00:10.870 --> 00:00:15.010 align:middle line:84%
which is, I suppose, in a
way the most formal work I've

00:00:15.010 --> 00:00:17.260 align:middle line:90%
written, in a sense.

00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:18.970 align:middle line:90%
Although I don't know if you--

00:00:18.970 --> 00:00:21.040 align:middle line:84%
usually people don't
think of formal poetry

00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:23.140 align:middle line:84%
when they make up
the form themselves.

00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:25.780 align:middle line:84%
But, you know, I made
up the form myself.

00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:32.920 align:middle line:84%
So every section of
this has seven lines,

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.260 align:middle line:90%
and every line has five words.

00:00:35.260 --> 00:00:38.500 align:middle line:84%
And there were really
good reasons for all that,

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:40.865 align:middle line:84%
but I'm not going to go
into that because then--

00:00:40.865 --> 00:00:42.490 align:middle line:84%
you can buy the book,
and it tells you,

00:00:42.490 --> 00:00:44.180 align:middle line:90%
I think, at the end of it, so.

00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:48.180 align:middle line:90%


00:00:48.180 --> 00:00:49.770 align:middle line:90%
"1."

00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:52.380 align:middle line:90%
"As begins a run, no?

00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:57.240 align:middle line:84%
Young, two months north, fair
to book to letter hearts.

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.920 align:middle line:84%
Around table, barefoot
violin, thin friend away,

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.780 align:middle line:90%
home calls night.

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:09.420 align:middle line:84%
Join neither to nor, except
bloom center's desert water

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:11.570 align:middle line:90%
sound."

00:01:11.570 --> 00:01:12.410 align:middle line:90%
"2."

00:01:12.410 --> 00:01:15.230 align:middle line:90%
"September begins, 7 by 10.

00:01:15.230 --> 00:01:21.020 align:middle line:84%
Sunflower house rises again, for
two and three clear sun girls

00:01:21.020 --> 00:01:25.190 align:middle line:84%
circle each other, frame
light in low grass,

00:01:25.190 --> 00:01:31.730 align:middle line:84%
green grays as water runs where
strong ducks break bread."

00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:33.240 align:middle line:90%
"3."

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:35.160 align:middle line:90%
"Honeysuckle, isn't it?

00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:37.530 align:middle line:84%
Isn't that what
honeysuckle looks like?

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:42.840 align:middle line:84%
Wild time, fall down thistle,
under growth through craw,

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.310 align:middle line:84%
through maw, what
vulnerable will allows in

00:01:47.310 --> 00:01:54.240 align:middle line:84%
and profiles close to clear
view, fond of the way out?"

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:56.130 align:middle line:90%
"4."

00:01:56.130 --> 00:01:59.340 align:middle line:84%
"The world is too
much upon a table,

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:03.660 align:middle line:84%
for legs if painted blue
as in a photograph, ground

00:02:03.660 --> 00:02:08.400 align:middle line:84%
and air lacking substance,
waiting patient miles where

00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.930 align:middle line:84%
prairie grass gives way to
lilac, sweet smell upon."

00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:16.390 align:middle line:90%


00:02:16.390 --> 00:02:17.980 align:middle line:90%
"5."

00:02:17.980 --> 00:02:23.200 align:middle line:84%
"Beach filled with glass color
in Northwest state of water

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:26.680 align:middle line:84%
falls within book's
paged sight, and sight

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.490 align:middle line:84%
looks over green
field, where run alone

00:02:30.490 --> 00:02:35.245 align:middle line:84%
with thoughts free reign in
line, two or more this time."

00:02:35.245 --> 00:02:38.020 align:middle line:90%


00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:39.370 align:middle line:90%
"6."

00:02:39.370 --> 00:02:42.640 align:middle line:84%
"Relations, a
preposition ever over.

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:46.030 align:middle line:84%
Four to one, the weather's
on the rise under hill

00:02:46.030 --> 00:02:50.500 align:middle line:84%
if bell's ring falls wide,
and white, deep winter calls,

00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:57.300 align:middle line:84%
'Halt' to merry mint else
than ever, ask together."
