A lot of these poems are
poems of other people's dreams

00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:09.990 align:middle line:90%
that they would tell to me.

00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:11.790 align:middle line:84%
And then I would
write them a poem.

00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:14.490 align:middle line:84%
This one-- I don't know if
he's ever read it, actually--

00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:18.480 align:middle line:84%
but this is a dream
that my father told me

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.030 align:middle line:90%
about a few years ago.

00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:23.970 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Lake."

00:00:23.970 --> 00:00:27.000 align:middle line:84%
I dive into the lake
and cut my chest open

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.700 align:middle line:90%
on a piece of broken glass.

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:33.180 align:middle line:84%
The giant shard of glass
goes through my chest

00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:35.580 align:middle line:90%
and out of my back.

00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:37.590 align:middle line:84%
When I stand up
out of the water,

00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:41.580 align:middle line:84%
I look like a statue
in a blood fountain.

00:00:41.580 --> 00:00:46.410 align:middle line:84%
The only person on shore who can
hear me is a woman with a baby.

00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:49.920 align:middle line:90%
Here, take my baby, she says.

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.210 align:middle line:84%
And she walks into the
water and hands me her baby.

00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:57.780 align:middle line:84%
But I'm bleeding
to death, I say.

00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:00.330 align:middle line:90%
But it's for you, she says.

00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:03.380 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]
