00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:02.760 align:middle line:84%
This is called "The
Suicide," and I

00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:05.160 align:middle line:90%
like this bravado at the end.

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.770 align:middle line:84%
I don't know if it's
that hot a poem either.

00:00:07.770 --> 00:00:09.570 align:middle line:90%
"The Suicide."

00:00:09.570 --> 00:00:12.390 align:middle line:84%
"The street coughs blood
in a linen handkerchief

00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:14.820 align:middle line:84%
as I strut down
to the river where

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:17.310 align:middle line:84%
the oil ship's
black bars of soap

00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:22.470 align:middle line:84%
float up right on steel
spines, a wharf suicide's pimp

00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:25.020 align:middle line:84%
as a tight, deep
vagina of water,

00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:28.920 align:middle line:84%
and I'm going to fuck it until
it knows, just to let everybody

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.060 align:middle line:84%
see how I cut through life like
a diamond in a sack of glass

00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:36.990 align:middle line:84%
with no regrets and a what's
it to you to shove crooked

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:38.160 align:middle line:90%
up your ass."

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:41.130 align:middle line:84%
Sorry, did you get
those last few words?

00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:43.036 align:middle line:90%
I know I'm not supposed to lean.

00:00:43.036 --> 00:00:47.920 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:53.560 align:middle line:84%
I don't like reading these
things, whatever you call them.

00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.190 align:middle line:84%
I forget and I step
back, and I know

00:00:56.190 --> 00:00:59.190 align:middle line:84%
I'm supposed to stay
close so you can hear.

00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:02.910 align:middle line:90%
I am sorry about that.

00:01:02.910 --> 00:01:09.870 align:middle line:84%
But I'm tired of people
saying they're sorry,

00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:10.770 align:middle line:90%
so I don't do it.

00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:12.330 align:middle line:90%
I can do it, but you can't.

00:01:12.330 --> 00:01:17.900 align:middle line:90%


00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:21.680 align:middle line:84%
If you took a survey of how many
people were really sorry that

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.840 align:middle line:84%
they had done something
shitty to you,

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.145 align:middle line:90%
you'd find out they weren't.

00:01:25.145 --> 00:01:27.890 align:middle line:90%


00:01:27.890 --> 00:01:29.750 align:middle line:84%
You'd have to face
facts, and then

00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:33.920 align:middle line:84%
we probably have a
great influx of inmates

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.940 align:middle line:90%
into the insane asylum.

00:01:36.940 --> 00:01:39.000 align:middle line:90%
