00:00:02.510 --> 00:00:04.230 align:middle line:90%
Now, we come to my own poems.

00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:06.570 align:middle line:84%
I would write here and
there in various books.

00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:09.020 align:middle line:84%
And I'll close by reading
some things which have not yet

00:00:09.020 --> 00:00:12.620 align:middle line:84%
been collected or in some
cases, not yet published

00:00:12.620 --> 00:00:14.000 align:middle line:90%
but we've been working on.

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:24.520 align:middle line:90%


00:00:24.520 --> 00:00:26.020 align:middle line:84%
You know all poets,
sooner or later,

00:00:26.020 --> 00:00:27.700 align:middle line:84%
write lots of travel
poems, sometimes

00:00:27.700 --> 00:00:30.640 align:middle line:84%
tediously, the kind
of poems Robert Bly

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.910 align:middle line:84%
has described like
Guggenheim in Italy.

00:00:33.910 --> 00:00:37.450 align:middle line:84%
My reflections on the Piazza San
Marco or something like that.

00:00:37.450 --> 00:00:41.800 align:middle line:84%
I've written one travel
poem called "Exploration."

00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:44.470 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to
inflict it upon you.

00:00:44.470 --> 00:00:50.440 align:middle line:84%
One, alligators do not
grow in Devonshire.

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:53.306 align:middle line:84%
The coast is
generally precipitous.

00:00:53.306 --> 00:00:59.410 align:middle line:84%
Nor are there any oranges
worth mentioning, but it rains.

00:00:59.410 --> 00:01:03.855 align:middle line:84%
Two, ocelots abound
in New Caledonia.

00:01:03.855 --> 00:01:04.355 align:middle line:90%
Beware.

00:01:04.355 --> 00:01:06.970 align:middle line:90%


00:01:06.970 --> 00:01:12.880 align:middle line:84%
Three, in Nova
Scotia, broken saucers

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:16.690 align:middle line:84%
are not allowed on the
streets after sundown

00:01:16.690 --> 00:01:18.880 align:middle line:90%
as a general rule.

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:22.120 align:middle line:84%
Although exceptions are made
in cases of extreme urgency.

00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.460 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:25.870 align:middle line:90%


00:01:25.870 --> 00:01:32.070 align:middle line:84%
Four, oh, how my heart
longs for New Caledonia.

00:01:32.070 --> 00:01:42.087 align:middle line:90%
