00:00:01.390 --> 00:00:04.440 align:middle line:84%
This poem is called
"Miranda Writes."

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:13.250 align:middle line:84%
Writes is spelt W-R-I-T-E-S.
And it's from Miranda to--

00:00:13.250 --> 00:00:16.100 align:middle line:84%
well, the subtitle more
or less explains it.

00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:20.330 align:middle line:84%
"Miranda writes postcards after
she, disrespected and disowned

00:00:20.330 --> 00:00:24.410 align:middle line:84%
by old father, Prince whose
sick mouth runs this show,

00:00:24.410 --> 00:00:27.530 align:middle line:84%
well called when we had the
day of Prospero, steals a car

00:00:27.530 --> 00:00:28.490 align:middle line:90%
and flees south."

00:00:28.490 --> 00:00:31.140 align:middle line:90%


00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:33.900 align:middle line:90%
That's the subtitle.

00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:36.810 align:middle line:84%
"Imperial Highway,
tarred and weathered,

00:00:36.810 --> 00:00:43.020 align:middle line:84%
tired, incredibly cold, wish
you were there, love, Miranda.

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:45.570 align:middle line:84%
Nodding off in the
Emperor's New Cadillac,

00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:47.880 align:middle line:84%
the brakes are weak,
the steering whack.

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.170 align:middle line:84%
I'm trying to see
things from below.

00:00:50.170 --> 00:00:52.020 align:middle line:90%
I love my new tax bracket.

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:55.530 align:middle line:84%
The car's is in a spin and my
belt buckle is on the equator.

00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:57.680 align:middle line:84%
See you later, love,
your little Miranda.

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:00.510 align:middle line:90%


00:01:00.510 --> 00:01:03.600 align:middle line:84%
I'm asleep on the heels
of this fruited plane.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.230 align:middle line:84%
Ah, the wheels all of
panamericana, oh, love,

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:11.070 align:middle line:84%
your cinematic
whiz kid, Miranda.

00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:13.560 align:middle line:84%
From south of the
border this last vehicle

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.620 align:middle line:84%
rotates fast in
the wrong direction

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:20.168 align:middle line:84%
as does the wax apple
planet on its magnetic axle.

00:01:20.168 --> 00:01:21.210 align:middle line:90%
You know what I'm saying?

00:01:21.210 --> 00:01:23.400 align:middle line:90%
Love, Miranda.

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.450 align:middle line:84%
God damn, I'm going nowhere
faster than the eye can see.

00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:31.860 align:middle line:84%
I can see two shining seas
one after the other to be

00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:33.150 align:middle line:90%
continued, et cetera.

00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:36.510 align:middle line:84%
Love, more of the same,
the better, Miranda.

00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:38.460 align:middle line:90%
Caliban, you weak bastard.

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:40.330 align:middle line:84%
I blame you for all
freak accidents.

00:01:40.330 --> 00:01:42.630 align:middle line:84%
Why didn't you warn
me about this storm,

00:01:42.630 --> 00:01:44.490 align:middle line:84%
the cigarette
lighter to my nose?

00:01:44.490 --> 00:01:47.970 align:middle line:84%
I'm nearly warm in the Emperor's
old bed clothes and Governor

00:01:47.970 --> 00:01:49.290 align:middle line:90%
of the state of emergency.

00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:50.940 align:middle line:90%
Tell the fucker the road froze.

00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:52.170 align:middle line:90%
And who do you love?

00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:53.500 align:middle line:90%
Miranda."
