00:00:01.200 --> 00:00:08.189 align:middle line:84%
October 15, the Dow
closes up, 10,062.

00:00:08.189 --> 00:00:11.730 align:middle line:84%
What if I write it
all down, track it,

00:00:11.730 --> 00:00:17.520 align:middle line:84%
if I consult tickers and
windows, measure blood flow,

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:21.060 align:middle line:84%
monitor the rise and
fall of my accounts,

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:23.700 align:middle line:90%
the tarnish of leaves?

00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:25.920 align:middle line:90%
Will a veil tear?

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.880 align:middle line:84%
Will a web sparkle
dew-strung, a rope

00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:35.040 align:middle line:84%
bridge between the
dead, living, unborn?

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:38.610 align:middle line:84%
Can I feel these
numbers in my hands

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:43.380 align:middle line:84%
like Whitman at the
rail of a ferry?

00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:46.260 align:middle line:90%
The Dow rises above 10,000.

00:00:46.260 --> 00:00:47.910 align:middle line:90%
My dog scratches his ear.

00:00:47.910 --> 00:00:50.550 align:middle line:90%
A lamp buzzes on a timer.

00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:54.540 align:middle line:84%
Rains clear, and
the cold arrives.

00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:57.180 align:middle line:90%
The unborn keep their distance.

00:00:57.180 --> 00:01:02.190 align:middle line:84%
I make a dinner of brown rice,
butternut squash, and kale

00:01:02.190 --> 00:01:07.430 align:middle line:84%
with my 3,000 nerves
bristling in the air.

00:01:07.430 --> 00:01:09.000 align:middle line:90%
