00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:07.350 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to begin by
reading from a recent book.

00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:10.740 align:middle line:84%
This portion of the
reading is quite short.

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:16.050 align:middle line:84%
And these are poems in one
line or since they have titles,

00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:18.570 align:middle line:90%
perhaps they're two long poems.

00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:22.890 align:middle line:84%
Dishonestly masquerading
as one long poems.

00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:24.360 align:middle line:84%
I won't read the
whole book, which

00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:26.970 align:middle line:90%
takes a full three minutes.

00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:29.130 align:middle line:84%
Instead, I'll give
you the highlights

00:00:29.130 --> 00:00:31.305 align:middle line:90%
of one section of the poems.

00:00:31.305 --> 00:00:32.710 align:middle line:90%
There are about four of these.

00:00:32.710 --> 00:00:36.300 align:middle line:84%
The first of them is called
Why I Didn't Notice It.

00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:39.630 align:middle line:90%
The Moss on the milk is white.

00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:44.950 align:middle line:90%


00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:49.360 align:middle line:84%
This is a poem on
the theme of royalty.

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:52.720 align:middle line:84%
The short forms tempt you to
large subjects, it turns out.

00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:55.480 align:middle line:90%
Many deluxe features.

00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:57.670 align:middle line:84%
Each mattress is
mounted on a pea.

00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:03.430 align:middle line:90%


00:01:03.430 --> 00:01:07.600 align:middle line:84%
To thine own self be true,
as if you had a choice.

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:14.350 align:middle line:90%


00:01:14.350 --> 00:01:17.170 align:middle line:90%
Premature ejaculation.

00:01:17.170 --> 00:01:20.640 align:middle line:84%
I'm sorry, this poem
is already finished.

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.454 align:middle line:90%
