[APPLAUSE]

00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:03.870 align:middle line:84%
"Talk to me, Poem,
I'm all alone.

00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:06.090 align:middle line:84%
Nobody understands
what I'm saying.

00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:07.380 align:middle line:90%
Have you been in jail, Poem?

00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:09.840 align:middle line:84%
A lot of poems go to
jail, like a lot of women

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:11.520 align:middle line:90%
who get tired of no good men.

00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:13.650 align:middle line:84%
Do no-good poems
beat up on people?

00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:16.560 align:middle line:84%
Do no-good poems say
I'm sorry the next day?

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:19.290 align:middle line:84%
I know poems get lost, because
they're always being found.

00:00:19.290 --> 00:00:22.080 align:middle line:84%
There are wanted posters, milk
bottles, and lonesome guitars

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:24.900 align:middle line:84%
in the night, looking
for a poem to take home.

00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:27.600 align:middle line:84%
I know poems get neglected,
just like doo wop

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.460 align:middle line:84%
singing on the back
porch, and the deacons

00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:32.430 align:middle line:84%
opening church with "Leaning
on the Everlasting Arms."

00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:35.430 align:middle line:84%
People forget what got
them over, what saved them.

00:00:35.430 --> 00:00:36.690 align:middle line:90%
What are your plans, Poem?

00:00:36.690 --> 00:00:37.380 align:middle line:90%
Give it up.

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.060 align:middle line:84%
I hear you're a
rap star now, going

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:40.230 align:middle line:90%
for the Grammy and the gold.

00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:42.360 align:middle line:84%
Everybody's singing
your praises.

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:44.580 align:middle line:90%
Do you ever miss your home?

00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:48.840 align:middle line:84%
The sign on I-81 says,
"shoulders are for emergencies

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:49.560 align:middle line:90%
only."

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.090 align:middle line:90%
Write me, Poem.

00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:53.250 align:middle line:90%
I think I've got the blues."

00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.000 align:middle line:90%
