My hometown is the center
for the Rosicrucians.

00:00:06.530 --> 00:00:12.620 align:middle line:84%
And I grew up visiting
the Rosicrucians Museum

00:00:12.620 --> 00:00:15.635 align:middle line:84%
and looking at the mummies
and the shrunken heads.

00:00:15.635 --> 00:00:22.560 align:middle line:90%


00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:29.108 align:middle line:84%
Finally, wrote a little poem
called "Wanting a Mummy."

00:00:29.108 --> 00:00:34.480 align:middle line:90%


00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:40.390 align:middle line:84%
I've always wanted one,
a connection leaning

00:00:40.390 --> 00:00:46.240 align:middle line:84%
against the bureau, an in
to atrocious kingships,

00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.450 align:middle line:90%
to stone passages.

00:00:49.450 --> 00:00:52.480 align:middle line:84%
Those nights carrying
the planets of the dead.

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:55.060 align:middle line:90%


00:00:55.060 --> 00:00:59.890 align:middle line:84%
I like being able to ask it,
how do you like the rain?

00:00:59.890 --> 00:01:02.430 align:middle line:84%
Are you 3,000 years
old or still 25?

00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:05.260 align:middle line:90%


00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:12.510 align:middle line:84%
And to hear it replying, voluble
with symbols and medallions.

00:01:12.510 --> 00:01:18.660 align:middle line:84%
There, we would debate faced
off across the room, my room

00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:25.650 align:middle line:84%
temperature friend and I,
with my hands like peaches,

00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:30.590 align:middle line:84%
and my friend, all
shortbread and roots."
