00:00:02.880 --> 00:00:06.630 align:middle line:84%
I'm basically reading some
poems that people in a class

00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:08.910 align:middle line:90%
here have read.

00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:11.800 align:middle line:84%
And I talked to
them this morning.

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:18.360 align:middle line:84%
So I thought it would be nice
for them to hear them aloud.

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.620 align:middle line:90%
"Call out.

00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:21.300 align:middle line:90%
Press nine.

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:25.020 align:middle line:84%
I will hear some shift
of gray in the air.

00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:29.310 align:middle line:84%
Will ingest the
frost of its silence.

00:00:29.310 --> 00:00:32.009 align:middle line:84%
A six-foot bed and
a sprawler's sigh

00:00:32.009 --> 00:00:35.430 align:middle line:84%
through the wall of
this fifty-pound hotel

00:00:35.430 --> 00:00:38.310 align:middle line:90%
occupied by the dropped.

00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:41.580 align:middle line:90%
Call out, no call back.

00:00:41.580 --> 00:00:45.990 align:middle line:84%
Fall fast forward without
will to the window.

00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:49.650 align:middle line:84%
The other world is pressed
against the glass--

00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:52.830 align:middle line:84%
a kind of heaven,
a known nothing.

00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:55.860 align:middle line:84%
Call out to the
cone-opening light

00:00:55.860 --> 00:01:01.440 align:middle line:84%
to colors never seen
before but most familiar.

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:04.110 align:middle line:84%
Call out of the
grit in your tissue

00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:07.140 align:middle line:84%
before your days are
written or you will

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:10.290 align:middle line:90%
be too late for the answer.

00:01:10.290 --> 00:01:11.760 align:middle line:90%
Be really primitive.

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:16.320 align:middle line:84%
A thin finger picture of
nature under-nurtured.

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:21.750 align:middle line:84%
Like egg, parchment, glue
and the breath of the artist.

00:01:21.750 --> 00:01:26.880 align:middle line:84%
Call come in at last
immaterial when or where

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:29.460 align:middle line:90%
a message from that.

00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:34.080 align:middle line:84%
I will be packed into people
against a strange tin.

00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:38.850 align:middle line:84%
Vehicles will glitter and
polyphony the interrupter

00:01:38.850 --> 00:01:42.870 align:middle line:90%
will cut every sentence in half.

00:01:42.870 --> 00:01:45.300 align:middle line:90%
Call I won't call back.

00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:47.190 align:middle line:90%
Call up into the night.

00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:52.280 align:middle line:84%
'Knower, how is this voice
different from the others?'"
