So this poem is titled "Head Out
Window on the Baptism Highway."

00:00:05.770 --> 00:00:08.410 align:middle line:84%
"Shake tall buildings
out of my loving you,

00:00:08.410 --> 00:00:14.430 align:middle line:84%
down far, down far, far
down by a rock at the water.

00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:18.270 align:middle line:84%
Finish cooking
soup with violins.

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:21.240 align:middle line:84%
Everything could use a
melody to set it right,

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:22.500 align:middle line:90%
mitigate suffering.

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:23.190 align:middle line:90%
You care.

00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:26.610 align:middle line:84%
You cannot, with success,
deny needing violins.

00:00:26.610 --> 00:00:27.810 align:middle line:90%
OK, trombones.

00:00:27.810 --> 00:00:31.710 align:middle line:84%
The trombones enter the
pasta entering our bodies.

00:00:31.710 --> 00:00:35.610 align:middle line:84%
The microscope shows there
is a song between the grains.

00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:38.040 align:middle line:84%
The wind the wheat
endured is a taste

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:43.310 align:middle line:84%
the animal carries
forward, immersion of hours

00:00:43.310 --> 00:00:45.800 align:middle line:90%
through a loosening bone.

00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:48.680 align:middle line:84%
We are without the
timing of the beetle,

00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:53.830 align:middle line:84%
a sound that cannot get to where
we left our homes in shame."
