We tried to put

00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:37.120 align:middle line:84%
to make it easy to remember,
but it just didn't work out.

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:42.040 align:middle line:84%

we're still a little bit

00:01:05.745 --> 00:01:07.120 align:middle line:84%
up in the air
about it, but we're

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.970 align:middle line:84%
pretty sure that Bill
Merwin will read for us,

00:01:09.970 --> 00:01:12.940 align:middle line:84%
