00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:05.670 align:middle line:84%
Somehow I feel that this is a
key poem in my mind and mood,

00:00:05.670 --> 00:00:09.400 align:middle line:84%
and it's called "A
Man Came Tuesday."

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:14.650 align:middle line:84%
A man came Tuesday wanted
what I didn't owe yet.

00:00:14.650 --> 00:00:19.510 align:middle line:84%
By Friday you will, pay now
and I'll discount ten percent.

00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:21.190 align:middle line:90%
That made sense.

00:00:21.190 --> 00:00:25.210 align:middle line:84%
Would have, accept anything
off for good intentions?

00:00:25.210 --> 00:00:26.770 align:middle line:90%
I asked.

00:00:26.770 --> 00:00:29.950 align:middle line:84%
I, he said, I'm not
the parole board.

00:00:29.950 --> 00:00:34.790 align:middle line:84%
I'm your non-negotiable future
come to a take it or leave it.

00:00:34.790 --> 00:00:37.120 align:middle line:84%
If I had anything
to leave it with.

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:38.110 align:middle line:90%
Exactly.

00:00:38.110 --> 00:00:41.320 align:middle line:84%
But if I had, I'd have
a different future.

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.980 align:middle line:84%
That, he said, is what I
am trying to get you to.

00:00:44.980 --> 00:00:47.470 align:middle line:90%
Who the devil are you?

00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:48.700 align:middle line:90%
He shrugged.

00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:51.040 align:middle line:84%
I have no contract
with the truth

00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:53.260 align:middle line:90%
but I like to be persuasive.

00:00:53.260 --> 00:00:55.510 align:middle line:84%
What are you
prepared to believe.

00:00:55.510 --> 00:00:57.360 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]
