00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:05.280 align:middle line:84%
This next poem is called "The
Suggested Face for Sorry."

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:06.840 align:middle line:84%
and the title came
from when I was

00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:09.420 align:middle line:84%
trying to text someone
sorry, and it was like,

00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:11.870 align:middle line:90%
do you mean like--

00:00:11.870 --> 00:00:15.480 align:middle line:84%
it would be like a face that
would be the worst if you were

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:16.890 align:middle line:90%
trying to apologize to someone?

00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:20.460 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.130 align:middle line:90%
"The Suggested Face for Sorry."

00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:28.140 align:middle line:84%
You and me-- we are the opposite
of twins in an old story.

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:31.380 align:middle line:84%
When I am in pain,
you don't feel it.

00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:34.440 align:middle line:84%
If I up and retch,
you never guess.

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:37.470 align:middle line:84%
The city laid out poison along
the tunnels and tracks meant

00:00:37.470 --> 00:00:40.260 align:middle line:84%
for rats, and one
day my dog ate some.

00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:42.520 align:middle line:90%
She was fine.

00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.660 align:middle line:84%
I've never been so
jealous in my life.

00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:48.570 align:middle line:84%
I want to do the things we do
to die and then just take off

00:00:48.570 --> 00:00:50.850 align:middle line:90%
sprinting in the steep ravine.

00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:54.090 align:middle line:84%
In my dream, I walk my dog,
and you cross our path,

00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:56.370 align:middle line:84%
and she torques at you
and rears and snaps.

00:00:56.370 --> 00:00:58.560 align:middle line:90%
She senses, you are wholly bad.

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.250 align:middle line:84%
They say animals can tell,
like with earthquakes.

00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:04.680 align:middle line:84%
You're supposed to scan
the classifieds searching

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.680 align:middle line:84%
for a sudden spike in the
number of missing pets.

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.050 align:middle line:90%
That's how you know to prepare.

00:01:10.050 --> 00:01:12.180 align:middle line:90%
Maneuver away from shelving.

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:14.340 align:middle line:90%
Crawl to the nearest door frame.

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:16.590 align:middle line:90%
Get out of California.

00:01:16.590 --> 00:01:18.980 align:middle line:90%
What are you waiting for?

00:01:18.980 --> 00:01:21.000 align:middle line:90%
