00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:08.290 align:middle line:84%
It's poem about the terrible
time in young people's lives

00:00:08.290 --> 00:00:13.400 align:middle line:84%
when they're deciding
what they want to be.

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.200 align:middle line:84%
I think I'm still going
through that phase.

00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:18.820 align:middle line:84%
It's called what
"Zimmer Would Be."

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:22.470 align:middle line:90%


00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:25.470 align:middle line:84%
"When asked I used
to say, I want

00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:29.700 align:middle line:84%
to be a doctor, which is the
same thing as a child saying,

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:34.350 align:middle line:84%
I want to be a priest or I
want to be a magician, which

00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:38.790 align:middle line:84%
is the laying on of hands,
the vibrations, the rabbit

00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:42.870 align:middle line:84%
in the hat or the body in the
cup, the curing of the sick

00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:45.930 align:middle line:90%
and the raising of the dead.

00:00:45.930 --> 00:00:48.720 align:middle line:84%
Fix and fix you're
all better, I would

00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:51.750 align:middle line:84%
say to the neighborhood
wounded as we fought the World

00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:54.540 align:middle line:90%
War to the vacant lots of Ohio.

00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:57.070 align:middle line:90%
Fix and fix you're all better.

00:00:57.070 --> 00:01:00.330 align:middle line:84%
And they would rise
to fight again.

00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:04.620 align:middle line:84%
But then I saw my aunt
die slowly of cancer

00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:08.300 align:middle line:90%
and a man struck down by a car.

00:01:08.300 --> 00:01:12.440 align:middle line:84%
All along I had really
wanted to be a poet, which

00:01:12.440 --> 00:01:18.150 align:middle line:84%
as see, almost the same thing
as saying I want to be a doctor,

00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:23.180 align:middle line:84%
I want to be a priest, or
I want to be a magician.

00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:29.780 align:middle line:84%
All along, without realizing
it, I had wanted to be a poet.

00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:33.310 align:middle line:90%
Fix and fix, you're all better."
