00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:11.030 align:middle line:84%
And so here's a little poem
about the middle of life

00:00:11.030 --> 00:00:14.880 align:middle line:90%
for my dinner companions.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.030 align:middle line:90%

musing, "If you ever

00:00:25.770 --> 00:00:32.640 align:middle line:84%
