00:00:02.190 --> 00:00:07.440 align:middle line:84%
People at Irvine hated this next
poem and so I didn't-- it was--

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.530 align:middle line:84%
the school system is on
quarter, it's a quarter system.

00:00:10.530 --> 00:00:13.020 align:middle line:84%
And I didn't go for
the rest of the quarter

00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:16.500 align:middle line:84%
after they gave me a hard
time, that was three weeks.

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:18.300 align:middle line:90%
I just went to a teacher.

00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:22.350 align:middle line:84%
Because they got into
the New York poets.

00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:23.910 align:middle line:90%
They like to bullshit a lot.

00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:25.900 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:26.400 align:middle line:90%


00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:30.900 align:middle line:84%
Some days, a three-hour workshop
would be nothing but bullshit.

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:31.920 align:middle line:90%
Snap, snap.

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.340 align:middle line:84%
They'd be hitting each other
with all this talk, you know?

00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:36.990 align:middle line:90%
I could never keep up with them.

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.600 align:middle line:84%
But, anyway, they
were giving me-- they

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.840 align:middle line:84%
hated my poetry,
those New York people.

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.280 align:middle line:90%
I didn't like theirs either.

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.402 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:47.402 --> 00:00:48.300 align:middle line:90%


00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:52.150 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Recapture."

00:00:52.150 --> 00:00:55.360 align:middle line:84%
When you run off,
I start after you.

00:00:55.360 --> 00:01:01.750 align:middle line:84%
As the sun rolls overhead and
rocks in the sky's blue hands.

00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:05.740 align:middle line:90%
As always, I find you, beat you.

00:01:05.740 --> 00:01:09.520 align:middle line:84%
The corner of your mouth bleeds
and your tongue slips out,

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:11.290 align:middle line:90%
slips in.

00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:12.610 align:middle line:90%
You don't fight me.

00:01:12.610 --> 00:01:14.950 align:middle line:90%
You never do.

00:01:14.950 --> 00:01:17.440 align:middle line:84%
Going back, you
stumble against me

00:01:17.440 --> 00:01:20.470 align:middle line:84%
and I grab your wrist,
pulling you down.

00:01:20.470 --> 00:01:24.900 align:middle line:84%
Come on, bitch of my love,
while it is still easy.

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:26.000 align:middle line:90%
