Also, just in one
of those addresses

00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:06.330 align:middle line:84%
is River Terrace,
which some of you

00:00:06.330 --> 00:00:09.600 align:middle line:84%
may recognize is the address of
Poets House in New York, which

00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:12.330 align:middle line:84%
I've been thinking a lot
about here, because they

00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:13.410 align:middle line:90%
feel so kindred.

00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:19.986 align:middle line:84%
And so I'm sure there just
must be so many overlaps.

00:00:19.986 --> 00:00:27.480 align:middle line:84%
I'll just read one poem to just
kind of hold the whole group.

00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.340 align:middle line:84%
"In the room where
what is held precious

00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:35.280 align:middle line:84%
is eaten by goats, two silky,
black goats, couchant,

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.280 align:middle line:90%
rip apart a red brocade pillow.

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.890 align:middle line:84%
Though the delivery
belt never empties,

00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:45.120 align:middle line:84%
these two manage to stay
just ahead of shredding

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:47.340 align:middle line:90%
what the world can't hold.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:51.240 align:middle line:84%
One eventually sleeps,
raising its eyes only

00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.230 align:middle line:84%
when I look upon its
flank and think, silky.

00:00:55.230 --> 00:00:58.764 align:middle line:84%
And without moving its
mouth, eats the word."
