00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:03.900 align:middle line:84%
And here's another poem
I don't read very much.

00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:07.440 align:middle line:84%
And I don't know why I
picked it out to read.

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:12.780 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:17.940 align:middle line:84%
I think maybe because we've
been together for so long now,

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:19.926 align:middle line:90%
all eight of us.

00:00:19.926 --> 00:00:21.810 align:middle line:90%
Poem's called "Losing Interest."

00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:24.690 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:31.890 align:middle line:90%


00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:34.650 align:middle line:90%
"Losing Interest."

00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:40.350 align:middle line:84%
"How easily the moon explains
itself by just reappearing.

00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:45.630 align:middle line:84%
I try to repeat the phases
of the simplest form of life

00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:49.890 align:middle line:84%
never knowing when the
counting should begin again.

00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:52.080 align:middle line:84%
I try to breathe
through a window

00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:57.240 align:middle line:84%
as if breath were light leading
to even the faintest star.

00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.310 align:middle line:90%
I know better.

00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:03.600 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes a man licks
himself clean entirely

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.030 align:middle line:90%
before he finds the wound.

00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:10.500 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes the song a man
hears himself singing

00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:14.430 align:middle line:84%
keeps him silent
for a long time.

00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:17.280 align:middle line:84%
I pray for the mere
strength to bear

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.770 align:middle line:84%
the inscription carved in the
soft green wood of my voice.

00:01:23.770 --> 00:01:30.500 align:middle line:84%
Loneliness, perfect stranger I
confide in, talk me to sleep."
