And this is the final
poem that I'll read.

00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:06.030 align:middle line:90%
Thank you all very much.

00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:09.760 align:middle line:90%
"Chinese Dream Number 14."

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:13.120 align:middle line:90%
Race, friends, is boring.

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:15.440 align:middle line:90%
Everyone says so.

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:19.270 align:middle line:84%
Hashtag All Lives Matter,
the channel turns.

00:00:19.270 --> 00:00:21.760 align:middle line:90%
We ourselves live and turn.

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.330 align:middle line:84%
And moreover, the TV told
me yesterday, unendingly,

00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:31.300 align:middle line:84%
ever to talk about race means
you have no inner resources.

00:00:31.300 --> 00:00:35.440 align:middle line:84%
I conclude now I have no inner
resources, because all I see

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:37.120 align:middle line:90%
is race.

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:38.500 align:middle line:90%
People have race.

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:42.130 align:middle line:84%
Literature has race,
especially great literature.

00:00:42.130 --> 00:00:45.640 align:middle line:84%
Henry has race, with his
blacks and whites, made up

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:51.190 align:middle line:84%
as his feelings about love and
sex and art, which have race.

00:00:51.190 --> 00:00:55.240 align:middle line:84%
And our social ills
and sin in Chinese drag

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.450 align:middle line:84%
are somehow a dog
that's eaten itself,

00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:03.610 align:middle line:84%
and its tail miserably
remains as our mirror, bone,

00:01:03.610 --> 00:01:10.410 align:middle line:84%
or breaker, heaving
on tide: us, flag.

00:01:10.410 --> 00:01:12.470 align:middle line:90%
Thank you all very much.
