00:00:00.478 --> 00:00:02.520 align:middle line:84%
I didn't know I was writing
a sequence obviously,

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:04.290 align:middle line:90%
until it was very long.

00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:07.320 align:middle line:84%
But eventually I did and I could
look back and discover that one

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:09.120 align:middle line:90%
of the poems was the first.

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:10.410 align:middle line:90%
So, this is the first.

00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:15.630 align:middle line:84%
It's called "I Adore
You," parentheses 1960.

00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:18.000 align:middle line:84%
And I read it mostly
for the music.

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.390 align:middle line:84%
What to include, I
borrowed money from you.

00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:24.060 align:middle line:84%
Rubber bands, like a rubber
band space in your bed,

00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:25.950 align:middle line:90%
we banded together.

00:00:25.950 --> 00:00:28.170 align:middle line:90%
Turned out forever.

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:30.240 align:middle line:84%
Lust piece collar
and elastic, I'm

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:32.520 align:middle line:90%
glad I was up to participate.

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.250 align:middle line:84%
I took time off from work, wife
on the way out, took to you

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:35.760 align:middle line:90%
candy.

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:38.970 align:middle line:84%
Flowers, bittersweet grounds,
for mid-morning Mexican divorce

00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:41.700 align:middle line:84%
stemming, adultery
from living conditions

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:45.540 align:middle line:84%
improved because
receptive to my advances.

00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:48.990 align:middle line:84%
And all those pastoral
teetering sheep.

00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.960 align:middle line:84%
When the wooden lover stubs his
badly extended heart wanting

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:53.580 align:middle line:90%
mother.

00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:55.080 align:middle line:90%
Not us.

00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:59.400 align:middle line:84%
Though my father was just dead,
mother thought you an angel.

00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:01.710 align:middle line:90%
Down from heaven, up for grabs.

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:06.350 align:middle line:90%


00:01:06.350 --> 00:01:08.100 align:middle line:84%
If you think you hear
a bad joke in these,

00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:10.640 align:middle line:90%
you've heard it, believe me.

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.000 align:middle line:90%
