00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.140 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read
two more poems.

00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:06.570 align:middle line:84%
And you can trust me, because
that's all I have up here.

00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:07.770 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:07.770 --> 00:00:09.536 align:middle line:90%
I hate it, but it's true.

00:00:09.536 --> 00:00:12.202 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:12.202 --> 00:00:13.160 align:middle line:90%
This is called "Glory."

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.410 align:middle line:90%
And they're both rather short.

00:00:14.410 --> 00:00:17.786 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:17.786 --> 00:00:20.780 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:23.540 align:middle line:90%
This is called "Glory."

00:00:23.540 --> 00:00:26.660 align:middle line:84%
"Some sadness has no
origin, says the father

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:29.660 align:middle line:90%
tying his son to a post.

00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:32.509 align:middle line:90%
I wake up asleep.

00:00:32.509 --> 00:00:37.280 align:middle line:84%
Most monkeys died of
dislocations in the wild.

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.130 align:middle line:90%
My remote, where is it?

00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:44.150 align:middle line:84%
Awful things have
happened to Daffy Duck.

00:00:44.150 --> 00:00:48.470 align:middle line:84%
Was that the cause or
result of his daffiness?

00:00:48.470 --> 00:00:52.460 align:middle line:84%
His bill blasted to
the back of his head.

00:00:52.460 --> 00:00:55.340 align:middle line:90%
His eyes bounced around.

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:58.250 align:middle line:84%
Deep inside his
male-feathered brain

00:00:58.250 --> 00:01:02.270 align:middle line:84%
is the need to fuck or fuck
up everything beautiful, even

00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:04.370 align:middle line:90%
the Parthenon.

00:01:04.370 --> 00:01:08.480 align:middle line:84%
Yet he returns again and again
from what would kill and make

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.870 align:middle line:90%
inedible an ordinary duck.

00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:15.260 align:middle line:84%
Is this too a
power of daffiness?

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:17.480 align:middle line:84%
How unlike like
being a dead pharaoh,

00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.990 align:middle line:84%
which is damned
serious business.

00:01:20.990 --> 00:01:24.050 align:middle line:90%
They lay you down and dig in.

00:01:24.050 --> 00:01:28.910 align:middle line:84%
Here's a lovely scarab-encrusted
jar for your pancreas.

00:01:28.910 --> 00:01:32.480 align:middle line:84%
Here's a hook to pull your
brain through your nose.

00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.090 align:middle line:84%
Not great for your
slaves either,

00:01:35.090 --> 00:01:39.020 align:middle line:84%
strangled and pickled
in lesser materials.

00:01:39.020 --> 00:01:41.420 align:middle line:90%
And lots of cats.

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:46.640 align:middle line:84%
In the Valley of Eternals,
you're perpetually in profile,

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.420 align:middle line:84%
talking out of the side
of your mouth to jackals.

00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:53.960 align:middle line:84%
The air smells of
lilacs and barbed wire.

00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:57.500 align:middle line:90%
You enter the ballerina's lair."

00:01:57.500 --> 00:01:59.000 align:middle line:90%
