This poem is called
"David's Dream."

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:11.610 align:middle line:84%
At the dream, a friend
of mine had about me

00:00:11.610 --> 00:00:16.140 align:middle line:84%
and there's a little
heading, a subheading,

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:18.820 align:middle line:90%
I have a little quote from him.

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:23.310 align:middle line:84%
He said once to me, when I said
how I was living like a monk.

00:00:23.310 --> 00:00:26.045 align:middle line:84%
He said, you're not ready
for the convent yet.

David's dream.

He said that he dreamed
that everyone was meeting

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:36.960 align:middle line:90%
at the baths tonight except me.

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.070 align:middle line:84%
I'll be teaching there in the
morning, so I couldn't go.

00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:44.130 align:middle line:84%
Well, he's got my number
all right, I'm no fun.

00:00:44.130 --> 00:00:48.130 align:middle line:84%
I talk liberation, but my
actions show otherwise.

00:00:48.130 --> 00:00:52.680 align:middle line:84%
And he dreams me as I really
am, a ruler snapping nun

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:55.380 align:middle line:90%
keeping the class in line.

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:58.980 align:middle line:84%
I only-- my image
is definitely bad,

00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:02.070 align:middle line:84%
I only show up at the
baths when morning guilt

00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:05.550 align:middle line:84%
lights up the shabby
linoleum and the employees

00:01:05.550 --> 00:01:07.890 align:middle line:84%
are scrubbing the love
juice off the walls

00:01:07.890 --> 00:01:09.810 align:middle line:90%
and ceilings of the orgy room.

00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:12.360 align:middle line:84%
And the customers are
putting on their jeans,

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:14.430 align:middle line:90%
anxious to go home.

00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:17.070 align:middle line:84%
That's when I arrive
with my attendance book

00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:19.830 align:middle line:84%
and a sad sack stuffed
with experience,

00:01:19.830 --> 00:01:24.180 align:middle line:84%
teaching what I don't believe
in and nobody wants to hear.

00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:25.380 align:middle line:90%
The lesson.

00:01:25.380 --> 00:01:29.520 align:middle line:84%
If all you can do is teach,
don't do it at the baths.

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:32.730 align:middle line:84%
If you go to the baths,
don't go in the morning

00:01:32.730 --> 00:01:36.420 align:middle line:84%
and if you go into the steam
room, take off your habit baby

00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:38.460 align:middle line:90%
and leave your ruler home.
