00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:04.380 align:middle line:84%
Well, I'd like to read
the succession of poems

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:06.630 align:middle line:84%
and mostly depend on
them, but I do have

00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:09.030 align:middle line:90%
them arranged in a sequence.

00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:11.580 align:middle line:84%
And I'd like to muffle
them a little bit

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:13.110 align:middle line:84%
with some remarks
in between, just

00:00:13.110 --> 00:00:16.260 align:middle line:84%
to try to give them
all the help I can.

00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:18.570 align:middle line:84%
"Religion Back Home,"
it has four parts,

00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:20.790 align:middle line:90%
but they're all short.

00:00:20.790 --> 00:00:26.070 align:middle line:84%
Part one, when God's
parachute failed,

00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:34.440 align:middle line:84%
along about the spring of 1945,
the sky in Texas jerked open.

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:38.760 align:middle line:84%
And we all sailed easily
into this new strange harness

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:39.450 align:middle line:90%
on the stars.

00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:42.510 align:middle line:90%


00:00:42.510 --> 00:00:45.060 align:middle line:84%
Part two of
"Religion Back Home."

00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:51.300 align:middle line:84%
The minister smoked
and he drank.

00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:54.540 align:middle line:84%
And there was that
woman in the choir,

00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:57.795 align:middle line:84%
but what really finished
him, he wore spats.

00:00:57.795 --> 00:01:00.510 align:middle line:90%


00:01:00.510 --> 00:01:02.880 align:middle line:84%
Part three of
"Religion Back Home,"

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.489 align:middle line:84%
is a short review
of Samson Agonistes,

00:01:05.489 --> 00:01:09.600 align:middle line:84%
written for Ms. Harrington's
class in Liberal High School.

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.510 align:middle line:84%
Our father who art
in heaven, can lick

00:01:12.510 --> 00:01:15.930 align:middle line:90%
their father who art in heaven.

00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:20.880 align:middle line:90%
Well, the last part of this.

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:25.260 align:middle line:84%
When my little brother
chanted, in 1492, Jesus

00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:28.530 align:middle line:84%
crossed the ocean
blue, mother said, Bob,

00:01:28.530 --> 00:01:31.140 align:middle line:84%
you mean Columbus
crossed the ocean blue?

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:35.500 align:middle line:84%
And he said, I always did
get them two guys mixed up.

00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:36.000 align:middle line:90%
