00:00:07.460 --> 00:00:10.550 align:middle line:84%
"Dear Bullet, If a
body is what you want,

00:00:10.550 --> 00:00:13.880 align:middle line:84%
then here is bone and
gristle and flesh.

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.710 align:middle line:84%
Here is the clavicle snapped
wish, the aorta is open valves,

00:00:18.710 --> 00:00:21.170 align:middle line:84%
the leap thought makes
at the synaptic gap.

00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:24.200 align:middle line:84%
Here is the adrenaline
rush you crave.

00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:25.730 align:middle line:90%
That inexorable flight.

00:00:25.730 --> 00:00:29.150 align:middle line:84%
That insane puncture
into heat and blood.

00:00:29.150 --> 00:00:32.450 align:middle line:84%
And I dare you to finish what
you've started because, here,

00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:34.700 align:middle line:84%
bullet here is where I
complete the word you

00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:36.740 align:middle line:90%
bring hissing through the air.

00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:40.010 align:middle line:84%
Here is where I moan the
barrel's cold esophagus,

00:00:40.010 --> 00:00:43.070 align:middle line:84%
triggering my tongue's
explosives for the rifling I

00:00:43.070 --> 00:00:44.900 align:middle line:90%
have inside of me.

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:47.690 align:middle line:84%
Each twist of the
round spun deeper

00:00:47.690 --> 00:00:49.970 align:middle line:84%
because here,
bullet, here is where

00:00:49.970 --> 00:00:51.980 align:middle line:90%
the world ends every time."

00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:54.930 align:middle line:90%


00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:56.330 align:middle line:90%
For what it's worth--

00:00:56.330 --> 00:00:59.760 align:middle line:84%
it's cool when I wrote
that poem, it's odd.

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:02.187 align:middle line:84%
I folded it up, and I
put it in a Ziploc bag,

00:01:02.187 --> 00:01:03.270 align:middle line:90%
and I put it in my pocket.

00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:06.300 align:middle line:84%
It was in February of 2004,
and it stayed there the rest

00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:07.620 align:middle line:90%
of the time that I was there--

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:08.820 align:middle line:90%
the remainder of my tour.

00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:12.030 align:middle line:90%
Tour is a weird word, right?

00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:13.500 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:14.000 align:middle line:90%
