These are new
poems, newish poems.

00:00:12.830 --> 00:00:18.140 align:middle line:84%
"The mind flows a river
that murders someone.

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:22.940 align:middle line:84%
I'll fold the door in half for
you, crease it with an elbow

00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:27.770 align:middle line:84%
so as to keep a face
that greets the world.

00:00:27.770 --> 00:00:31.880 align:middle line:84%
There had been all this
talk about the old miracle.

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:36.800 align:middle line:84%
When you heal the lock
you heal the forgiven.

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:41.660 align:middle line:84%
But a river is a door
more than a window.

00:00:41.660 --> 00:00:45.830 align:middle line:84%
Close friends and relatives
might tell you otherwise,

00:00:45.830 --> 00:00:50.210 align:middle line:84%
tell you millions are
falling in love with the idea

00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:54.980 align:middle line:84%
that NASA raved about the
elastic physics, the principles

00:00:54.980 --> 00:01:01.160 align:middle line:84%
of temperature and force behind
the slightest obligations.

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:04.670 align:middle line:84%
Every water bird I've
surveyed ignored it.

00:01:04.670 --> 00:01:07.790 align:middle line:90%
My drowned women ignore it.

00:01:07.790 --> 00:01:12.650 align:middle line:84%
Once, I stared at a river
until I blacked out.

00:01:12.650 --> 00:01:17.180 align:middle line:84%
And it wasn't like a window
slid open to an abuzz.

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:22.130 align:middle line:90%
Sight became sound into a river.

00:01:22.130 --> 00:01:26.750 align:middle line:84%
My mind fell through
my asshole, almost.

00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:31.870 align:middle line:84%
Really, a river is a
door until it opens."
