00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:05.610 align:middle line:84%
This is a poem that the
beautiful Ander Monson has

00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:08.400 align:middle line:90%
made a wonderful broadside of.

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:09.705 align:middle line:90%
I hope that you've gotten it.

00:00:09.705 --> 00:00:11.580 align:middle line:84%
And if not, that there's
a few more for those

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:12.830 align:middle line:90%
who haven't picked one up yet.

00:00:12.830 --> 00:00:14.440 align:middle line:84%
And he's done one
for Farid as well.

00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:16.740 align:middle line:90%
So shout out to Ander.

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:18.450 align:middle line:90%
Great guy numero uno.

00:00:18.450 --> 00:00:19.080 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:21.930 align:middle line:90%


00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:25.950 align:middle line:84%
This poem is based loosely
on a Russian folk tale.

00:00:25.950 --> 00:00:29.145 align:middle line:84%
Very old Russian folk tale
about a brother and sister.

00:00:29.145 --> 00:00:33.520 align:middle line:90%


00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.390 align:middle line:84%
"Whether the Goat
is a Metaphor."

00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:40.240 align:middle line:84%
We go on talking and
digging a pit in the Earth

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:45.430 align:middle line:84%
to spit roast kid, since anyone
working in a lively rhythm

00:00:45.430 --> 00:00:48.490 align:middle line:90%
is not attached to the story.

00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:51.760 align:middle line:90%
In saving her, he saves himself.

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.990 align:middle line:90%
It's getting late.

00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:58.060 align:middle line:84%
The story of the boy is that,
by drinking water from a hoof,

00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:00.430 align:middle line:90%
he's turned into a goat.

00:01:00.430 --> 00:01:04.569 align:middle line:84%
If we separate magic
from life, we get art.

00:01:04.569 --> 00:01:07.480 align:middle line:84%
His sister, long
story short, gets

00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.990 align:middle line:84%
thrown into a river with
a stone around her neck.

00:01:10.990 --> 00:01:14.680 align:middle line:84%
His weeping stirs the
neighbors with a silken net

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.540 align:middle line:90%
to scoop her out.

00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:18.940 align:middle line:84%
He turns three
somersaults of joy,

00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:22.630 align:middle line:84%
and lands on two
feet as a boy again.

00:01:22.630 --> 00:01:28.090 align:middle line:84%
How, in heaven's name, will
dinner be served and when?

00:01:28.090 --> 00:01:32.000 align:middle line:84%
Separate art from
life, we get nothing.

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.450 align:middle line:90%
We go on talking and digging.

00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:37.690 align:middle line:84%
I've got a million
and ten things to do.

00:01:37.690 --> 00:01:40.090 align:middle line:84%
Of the multitude
of things, it is

00:01:40.090 --> 00:01:43.300 align:middle line:90%
emptiness that's necessary now.

00:01:43.300 --> 00:01:47.410 align:middle line:84%
Now that you've had
time to wash and dress.

00:01:47.410 --> 00:01:51.970 align:middle line:84%
As a form of enlightenment,
the most unsuspecting guest

00:01:51.970 --> 00:01:55.540 align:middle line:84%
is your enemy in
armor, or invisible,

00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:58.030 align:middle line:84%
who will clap you
on the back when you

00:01:58.030 --> 00:02:00.660 align:middle line:90%
choke on a bone at the banquet.

00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:02.277 align:middle line:90%
