00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:12.690 align:middle line:84%
And the other short love poem is
a poem called, "Being Perfect."

00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:15.200 align:middle line:84%
And I should tell you, since
you have such a large writing

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:19.470 align:middle line:84%
program here, that
one little thing, it's

00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:24.530 align:middle line:84%
sort of insignificant,
but we're here.

00:00:24.530 --> 00:00:27.623 align:middle line:84%
I remember when I was a
student in graduate school,

00:00:27.623 --> 00:00:29.540 align:middle line:84%
and I was studying under
a Philip Booth, who's

00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:32.030 align:middle line:84%
a fine teacher,
but he told me once

00:00:32.030 --> 00:00:39.500 align:middle line:84%
that I couldn't use the word,
so, and use it as a transition.

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:44.150 align:middle line:90%
So in this poem I use it twice.

00:00:44.150 --> 00:00:45.830 align:middle line:84%
Once at the end of
a line, and then,

00:00:45.830 --> 00:00:49.860 align:middle line:84%
the next word at the
beginning of the line.

00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:53.510 align:middle line:84%
One upsmanship, whatever
you want to call it.

00:00:53.510 --> 00:00:57.140 align:middle line:84%
But don't listen for
that, listen to the poem.

00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:59.240 align:middle line:90%
"Being Perfect."

00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:05.330 align:middle line:84%
Of course, only one of us
can become the other and only

00:01:05.330 --> 00:01:07.740 align:middle line:90%
for a moment or so.

00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:12.830 align:middle line:84%
So go ahead, when
you pass through me,

00:01:12.830 --> 00:01:14.750 align:middle line:90%
I will say your name.

00:01:14.750 --> 00:01:17.480 align:middle line:90%
If you hear mine, turn around.

00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.620 align:middle line:84%
We are calling
back to ourselves.

00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:22.000 align:middle line:90%
