This is called "Chinese Stars."

00:00:01.820 --> 00:00:05.180 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.180 --> 00:00:07.460 align:middle line:84%
When I pull open my
curtains this morning,

00:00:07.460 --> 00:00:10.280 align:middle line:84%
there was a raven
on the windowsill.

00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:12.470 align:middle line:90%
God, why today?

00:00:12.470 --> 00:00:15.110 align:middle line:84%
I had a salad with
oranges and Polish roses,

00:00:15.110 --> 00:00:18.410 align:middle line:84%
then walked to the church
but couldn't find a door.

00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:21.980 align:middle line:84%
I bumped into a man who politely
offered to steal my money.

00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:23.360 align:middle line:90%
I declined.

00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:25.790 align:middle line:90%
I didn't have time for nonsense.

00:00:25.790 --> 00:00:29.900 align:middle line:84%
I went to the Museum of Torture
and the Museum of Sex Machines.

00:00:29.900 --> 00:00:32.150 align:middle line:84%
I don't think I
learned anything.

00:00:32.150 --> 00:00:35.120 align:middle line:84%
Afterwards, I stumbled upon
a hot pepper eating contest

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:36.590 align:middle line:90%
and won it.

00:00:36.590 --> 00:00:39.770 align:middle line:84%
I think if I had tear
ducts, I'd cry a lot.

00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:41.510 align:middle line:84%
What if multiple
other dimensions

00:00:41.510 --> 00:00:43.760 align:middle line:84%
are watching us like
fish in an aquarium,

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:47.840 align:middle line:84%
floating around a tiny sunken
ship in a bowl of water.

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.360 align:middle line:84%
As I get older, I become
more and more scared

00:00:50.360 --> 00:00:52.520 align:middle line:90%
of what I'm capable of.

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.300 align:middle line:84%
My heart's been replaced with
a basket of Chinese stars.

00:00:56.300 --> 00:00:58.010 align:middle line:84%
I'm the starting
quarterback for state

00:00:58.010 --> 00:01:00.500 align:middle line:90%
and I'm lost in the mountains.

00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:01.000 align:middle line:90%
