00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:05.050 align:middle line:84%
Here's a poem
that's kind of fun.

00:00:05.050 --> 00:00:07.140 align:middle line:84%
I had a coat, I
had a yellow coat,

00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:09.307 align:middle line:90%
and I wore it all the time.

00:00:09.307 --> 00:00:10.890 align:middle line:84%
Do you have clothes
that are just you?

00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:12.180 align:middle line:90%
You know what I mean?

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:16.980 align:middle line:84%
This yellow coat
was me, this was my--you know?

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:22.260 align:middle line:84%
And I tore my
coat, and it really

00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:24.700 align:middle line:84%
haunted me because the way
that I tore it was so bad.

00:00:24.700 --> 00:00:28.410 align:middle line:84%
It was a very jive
way to tear your coat.

00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:32.229 align:middle line:90%
In that, I was in class.

00:00:32.229 --> 00:00:35.160 align:middle line:84%
And there was this fantastically
beautiful young man

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:37.080 align:middle line:90%
and he wanted to hold my coat.

00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:41.760 align:middle line:84%
And I got so shook up,
really serious--I kid you not.

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:43.770 align:middle line:84%
Then I put my hand
in it all weird

00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:45.210 align:middle line:90%
and it split down the back.

00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:47.740 align:middle line:90%


00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:53.050 align:middle line:84%
So I understood that I
believe in symbols, I

00:00:53.050 --> 00:00:55.840 align:middle line:90%
understood what this meant.

00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:02.620 align:middle line:84%
And I wrote a poem
to my yellow coat,

00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:05.560 align:middle line:84%
and I talked about all the
things that it was to me.

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:13.510 align:middle line:84%
Today I mourn my coat, my
old potato, my yellow mother,

00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:18.490 align:middle line:90%
my horse with buttons, my rind.

00:01:18.490 --> 00:01:22.750 align:middle line:84%
Today she split her skin
like a snake refusing

00:01:22.750 --> 00:01:27.070 align:middle line:84%
to excuse my back for
being big, for being cold,

00:01:27.070 --> 00:01:31.120 align:middle line:84%
for reaching toward
other sleeves and arms.

00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.360 align:middle line:84%
She cracked like a
whip and fell apart,

00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:37.870 align:middle line:90%
my terrible teacher to the end.

00:01:37.870 --> 00:01:41.050 align:middle line:84%
To hell with the arms
you want, she hissed.

00:01:41.050 --> 00:01:43.600 align:middle line:84%
Be glad when you called
for the arms you have.

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:53.160 align:middle line:90%


00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:56.060 align:middle line:84%
I'll never do that
again, you know.

00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:00.085 align:middle line:90%
