00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.240 align:middle line:90%


00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:03.240 align:middle line:90%
I'll just read one more.

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:17.180 align:middle line:90%


00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:26.070 align:middle line:84%
And again you, and again you,
face for a gathering, a you

00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:30.140 align:middle line:90%
face, a you face.

00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:36.860 align:middle line:84%
My doll, my Matt doll, oh, you
held me and I wanted to stay.

00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:39.800 align:middle line:84%
In the classrooms, they
are chanting vowels.

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:41.390 align:middle line:90%
Who's chanting?

00:00:41.390 --> 00:00:42.620 align:middle line:90%
A lesson.

00:00:42.620 --> 00:00:44.360 align:middle line:90%
Chant now.

00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:47.060 align:middle line:90%
Where are you going big pig?

00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:50.150 align:middle line:90%
I'm going to dig, to dig.

00:00:50.150 --> 00:00:53.030 align:middle line:90%
And what will you dig big pig?

00:00:53.030 --> 00:00:55.940 align:middle line:90%
A big white turnip.

00:00:55.940 --> 00:01:00.680 align:middle line:84%
These and the vowels as
they unfold or unfetter

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:08.390 align:middle line:84%
or calcify in soup or a name
for a place or a shaming place.

00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:13.040 align:middle line:84%
Your face hears its name
and brightens, collects,

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.150 align:middle line:84%
redraws old storybooks,
maps to the treasure

00:01:17.150 --> 00:01:23.000 align:middle line:84%
in the yard, the hidden coins,
the snakeskin, cigar box

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.160 align:middle line:90%
with some of your baby teeth.

00:01:25.160 --> 00:01:28.520 align:middle line:90%
A tonic against memory loss.

00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:32.210 align:middle line:90%
But it goes, you watch it.

00:01:32.210 --> 00:01:35.270 align:middle line:84%
Muhammad Ali, his
hands shake now.

00:01:35.270 --> 00:01:40.085 align:middle line:84%
Almost uncontrollably
says, I was 20.

00:01:40.085 --> 00:01:41.000 align:middle line:90%
20 what?

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.740 align:middle line:90%
22.

00:01:42.740 --> 00:01:45.530 align:middle line:90%
Now I'm 54, 54.

00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:48.050 align:middle line:90%


00:01:48.050 --> 00:01:50.840 align:middle line:84%
He says nothing
for a minute or so,

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:57.350 align:middle line:84%
then he says, time flies,
flies, it flies away.

00:01:57.350 --> 00:02:02.390 align:middle line:84%
Then very slowly
Ali lifts his hand

00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:05.525 align:middle line:84%
and flutters his fingers
like the wings of a bird.

00:02:05.525 --> 00:02:08.430 align:middle line:90%


00:02:08.430 --> 00:02:13.040 align:middle line:84%
Thank you thank you so much
for delight, a true delight.

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:16.390 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:02:16.390 --> 00:02:20.000 align:middle line:90%
