Listen I love having the gallows
humor of a cancer survivor

00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:10.840 align:middle line:84%
comes from one of my
favorite late alcoholic

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:13.030 align:middle line:90%
impoverished poets--

00:00:13.030 --> 00:00:20.310 align:middle line:84%
how uncommon-- Charles
Bukowski, "The Laughing Heart."

00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:23.770 align:middle line:90%
"Your life is your life.

00:00:23.770 --> 00:00:28.110 align:middle line:84%
Don't let it be clubbed
into dank submission.

00:00:28.110 --> 00:00:30.090 align:middle line:90%
Be on the watch.

00:00:30.090 --> 00:00:32.280 align:middle line:90%
There are ways out.

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.380 align:middle line:90%
There is a light somewhere.

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:39.730 align:middle line:84%
It may not be much light,
but it beats the darkness.

00:00:39.730 --> 00:00:41.250 align:middle line:90%
Be on the watch.

00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:45.060 align:middle line:90%
The gods will offer you chances.

00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:47.200 align:middle line:90%
Know them.

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:48.600 align:middle line:90%
Take them.

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:56.160 align:middle line:84%
You can't beat death, but
you can beat death in life

00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:58.560 align:middle line:90%
sometimes.

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.850 align:middle line:84%
And the more often
you learn to do it,

00:01:00.850 --> 00:01:04.319 align:middle line:90%
the more light there will be.

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.600 align:middle line:90%
Your life is your life.

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:10.120 align:middle line:90%
Know it while you have it.

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.970 align:middle line:90%
You are marvelous.

00:01:12.970 --> 00:01:17.950 align:middle line:84%
The gods wait to
delight in you."
