00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.690 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:03.450 align:middle line:84%
The number of things happen
to them to the church

00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:05.190 align:middle line:90%
because he makes.

00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:07.170 align:middle line:84%
After he saved he goes
home and hypnotized.

00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:14.010 align:middle line:84%
And he's finally excommunicated
from the Pentecostal church

00:00:14.010 --> 00:00:17.010 align:middle line:84%
because he makes noises
at the wrong time.

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:20.550 align:middle line:84%
And when the church delegation
goes to inform him of that,

00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:22.530 align:middle line:84%
he keeps interrupting
them at the wrong time.

00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:29.400 align:middle line:90%


00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:31.980 align:middle line:84%
Then later after
he's kicked out,

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:35.640 align:middle line:84%
he climbs a tree during
a revival meeting

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.550 align:middle line:84%
and listens to the
service from the tree.

00:00:38.550 --> 00:00:40.710 align:middle line:84%
He imagines that he
has a tree house,

00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:43.800 align:middle line:84%
and that is a Saint
Francis of Assisi

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.600 align:middle line:90%
that he's in tune with the tree.

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.680 align:middle line:90%
And he hears the music.

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:50.380 align:middle line:90%


00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:54.430 align:middle line:84%
So it alternates between
what he is saying on the page

00:00:54.430 --> 00:00:59.380 align:middle line:84%
and what he hears
from the church.

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:02.740 align:middle line:84%
"From an easy chair in the
living room of his treehouse,

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:04.690 align:middle line:84%
Ludi Jr. attends
a prayer meeting.

00:01:04.690 --> 00:01:07.270 align:middle line:90%


00:01:07.270 --> 00:01:09.460 align:middle line:84%
Through the space where
a window should be,

00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:11.440 align:middle line:90%
I can hear the singing.

00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:14.740 align:middle line:84%
Have you been to Jesus
for the cleansing tide?

00:01:14.740 --> 00:01:19.600 align:middle line:84%
Are you washed in the
blood of the lamb?

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:22.900 align:middle line:84%
Beneath me, a squirrel
with a walnut in his paws

00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:28.000 align:middle line:84%
pauses, cocks his
head, looks up, winks.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.090 align:middle line:84%
Are your garments spotless,
or are they white as snow?

00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:35.650 align:middle line:90%


00:01:35.650 --> 00:01:40.960 align:middle line:84%
A bird, no heavier than a soap
chip settles on my shoulder.

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:46.750 align:middle line:84%
Are you washed in the
blood of the lamb?

00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:48.610 align:middle line:84%
Through the space where
the door should be,

00:01:48.610 --> 00:01:53.320 align:middle line:84%
I can see other houses
other spaces, other eyes.

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:58.210 align:middle line:90%
Are you washed in the blood?

00:01:58.210 --> 00:02:00.820 align:middle line:84%
At the corner under
a streetlight,

00:02:00.820 --> 00:02:06.670 align:middle line:84%
Crocker's bulldog stands making
friends with an elm tree.

00:02:06.670 --> 00:02:11.950 align:middle line:84%
In the soul cleansing
blood of the lamb.

00:02:11.950 --> 00:02:13.870 align:middle line:84%
The leaf I positioned
in my hands

00:02:13.870 --> 00:02:18.790 align:middle line:84%
flutters like a green
kiss against the tongue.

00:02:18.790 --> 00:02:24.390 align:middle line:84%
Or your garments spotless
or they white as snow.

00:02:24.390 --> 00:02:26.950 align:middle line:90%


00:02:26.950 --> 00:02:29.500 align:middle line:84%
Through the space, where
the roof should be,

00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:36.460 align:middle line:84%
I can count the stars more than
a million, more than 1,000,

00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:41.740 align:middle line:84%
more than 100,
more even than one.

00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:47.290 align:middle line:84%
Are you washed in the
blood of the lamb?

00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:50.080 align:middle line:84%
And all the time
under the space,

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.630 align:middle line:84%
where the floor should be,
the answer as sure as walls

00:02:55.630 --> 00:02:57.970 align:middle line:90%
are made for breaking down.

00:02:57.970 --> 00:03:04.050 align:middle line:90%
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am."

00:03:04.050 --> 00:03:17.000 align:middle line:90%
