[APPLAUSE]

00:00:00.910 --> 00:00:01.920 align:middle line:90%
This is stubborn.

00:00:01.920 --> 00:00:04.435 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:04.435 --> 00:00:05.435 align:middle line:90%
I'll read one more poem.

00:00:05.435 --> 00:00:07.096 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:07.096 --> 00:00:07.596 align:middle line:90%
A tiny--

00:00:07.596 --> 00:00:13.290 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:13.890 align:middle line:90%
Oh, yeah.

00:00:13.890 --> 00:00:15.390 align:middle line:90%
Let me read a love poem.

00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:20.670 align:middle line:84%
I've been writing erotic
poetry, not really erotic.

00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:22.170 align:middle line:84%
That was that I'll
tell that joke

00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:25.890 align:middle line:84%
and it just came out
off the top of my head.

00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:27.238 align:middle line:90%
For me, this is erotic poetry.

00:00:27.238 --> 00:00:28.155 align:middle line:90%
For you, it's nothing.

00:00:28.155 --> 00:00:31.830 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:34.050 align:middle line:84%
As I said to the people
at Pima the other day,

00:00:34.050 --> 00:00:36.060 align:middle line:90%
I'm very Victorian.

00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:38.685 align:middle line:84%
I was born before people
found out how to fuck.

00:00:38.685 --> 00:00:48.560 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.720 align:middle line:90%
That's not true.

00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:55.540 align:middle line:84%
Let me read my version
of an erotic poem.

00:00:55.540 --> 00:00:59.570 align:middle line:84%
Oh god, I'm not
going to entertain.

00:00:59.570 --> 00:01:01.320 align:middle line:90%
OK, you horny thing.

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.745 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:03.745 --> 00:01:05.010 align:middle line:90%
You're so horny.

00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:12.540 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:15.840 align:middle line:84%
It's called "You," and
I don't mean "you."

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.910 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:20.910 --> 00:01:22.950 align:middle line:84%
For no reason, the
darkness lifted,

00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:25.410 align:middle line:84%
and we lay on a bed of
light that a moment before

00:01:25.410 --> 00:01:28.020 align:middle line:90%
had been dark leaf.

00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:31.950 align:middle line:84%
These were the high woods
where I had been afraid.

00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:34.860 align:middle line:84%
But now that fear
was gone, and you

00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:38.310 align:middle line:84%
who spoke my name over and
over stared into the black sky

00:01:38.310 --> 00:01:43.020 align:middle line:84%
above, which filled your eyes
with tiny points of fire.

00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:46.650 align:middle line:84%
I could have thought,
this too will pass.

00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:50.790 align:middle line:84%
And once again, you will be
a particular person and not

00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:54.060 align:middle line:84%
the lost half of myself,
the search for whom I've

00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:55.860 align:middle line:90%
long ago given up.

00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:58.230 align:middle line:90%
And I will be a man who gave up.

00:01:58.230 --> 00:01:59.550 align:middle line:90%
I didn't.

00:01:59.550 --> 00:02:01.980 align:middle line:90%
I didn't think of anything.

00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:05.010 align:middle line:84%
Instead, I closed my
eyes to everything

00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:08.880 align:middle line:84%
so that I might see at last
how Heaven and Earth can,

00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:13.590 align:middle line:84%
on any ordinary night,
become a familiar place.

00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:18.270 align:middle line:84%
My cheek against your cheek,
I still feel your warm tears,

00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:21.120 align:middle line:84%
and hear the wind singing
through the crowded pines

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.030 align:middle line:84%
and the twisted
mountain oak, singing

00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:28.620 align:middle line:84%
the only song they know, the
words I feel with each breath

00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:30.208 align:middle line:90%
I take.

00:02:30.208 --> 00:02:30.750 align:middle line:90%
Thanks a lot.

00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:35.700 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:02:35.700 --> 00:02:52.530 align:middle line:90%


00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:58.235 align:middle line:90%
