00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.250 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:00.750 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:00.750 --> 00:00:03.540 align:middle line:90%
So that's Sunday.

00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:08.010 align:middle line:84%
The next poem kind of
goes to one of my few life

00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:10.950 align:middle line:84%
philosophies, which
is you are who

00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:14.130 align:middle line:84%
you are and you ain't
who you ain't and it's

00:00:14.130 --> 00:00:17.190 align:middle line:90%
called "Birth Order".

00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:19.530 align:middle line:84%
Each of you the
same since birth.

00:00:19.530 --> 00:00:24.750 align:middle line:84%
The first early refusing to
share this world, breached.

00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:28.020 align:middle line:84%
When forced to present
quiet and determined

00:00:28.020 --> 00:00:30.870 align:middle line:90%
you did as we pleased.

00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:34.530 align:middle line:84%
The second timely,
full force shoulders

00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:37.170 align:middle line:84%
breaking mother from
end to bloody end

00:00:37.170 --> 00:00:40.380 align:middle line:84%
twisted and threatened
rapidly rushing

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:45.570 align:middle line:84%
from the protected quiet to
a cold steel operating room.

00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:48.810 align:middle line:84%
Baby giving false
impressions fooling

00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:51.840 align:middle line:84%
those who know better then
falling without effort

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.490 align:middle line:90%
into nurses hands.

00:00:53.490 --> 00:00:57.450 align:middle line:84%
Running from parking
lot to delivery so fast

00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:01.170 align:middle line:90%
the blood came in buckets.

00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:04.140 align:middle line:84%
Always the father is
pushed away useless

00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:06.700 align:middle line:84%
to the bodily
business of the world.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:09.270 align:middle line:90%
Yes, you all remain the same.

00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:11.250 align:middle line:90%
Your birth has shaped you.

00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:15.490 align:middle line:84%
Quiet and determined,
forceful and in the way,

00:01:15.490 --> 00:01:19.810 align:middle line:84%
quick and easy to
make others sacrifice.

00:01:19.810 --> 00:01:22.420 align:middle line:84%
In my science experiment
I will ask every mother

00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:25.600 align:middle line:84%
how her child entered
this new space then

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:29.590 align:middle line:84%
I would understand the man
as he emerged before himself.

00:01:29.590 --> 00:01:33.220 align:middle line:84%
Still, I would never
ask after my birth.

00:01:33.220 --> 00:01:36.370 align:middle line:84%
Would it be human to possess
the fragile knowledge

00:01:36.370 --> 00:01:38.500 align:middle line:90%
of that sweet fruit.

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:39.000 align:middle line:90%
