And just in case
you didn't think

00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:06.780 align:middle line:84%
I could write a short one in my
new book, here's the last poem.

00:00:06.780 --> 00:00:11.700 align:middle line:84%
"Small quill poem with
no taste for spring."

00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:17.880 align:middle line:84%
"In spring, all the poems
that need to be written have.

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:21.720 align:middle line:84%
You are neither
dejected nor relieved.

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:23.670 align:middle line:90%
Scrape and paint.

00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:27.810 align:middle line:84%
Scrape and paint a
gray house white.

00:00:27.810 --> 00:00:30.780 align:middle line:84%
Feel something, your
husband, the one

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:35.190 align:middle line:84%
married to all the appetites
shouts to someone up

00:00:35.190 --> 00:00:39.810 align:middle line:84%
on a ladder, someone who
looks sort of like you,

00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:46.510 align:middle line:84%
disinterested, spated, thin
as a cloud, it's spring again.

00:00:46.510 --> 00:00:52.020 align:middle line:84%
And so the melancholians,
and so the fat sharp animals

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:58.170 align:middle line:84%
pace your roof at night, feeding
quilled recurrent dreams.

00:00:58.170 --> 00:01:01.290 align:middle line:84%
You will never live
up to this life.

00:01:01.290 --> 00:01:05.489 align:middle line:84%
They will never refer
to you as voluptuous.

00:01:05.489 --> 00:01:10.050 align:middle line:84%
You can't remember the
last time you wore a dress,

00:01:10.050 --> 00:01:13.590 align:middle line:84%
you pressed your
mouth to the phone."

00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:15.090 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.
