00:00:02.382 --> 00:00:03.465 align:middle line:90%
"I tell this with a shrug.

00:00:03.465 --> 00:00:06.090 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:09.450 align:middle line:84%
The new lessee on the lease
had, we thought, potential,

00:00:09.450 --> 00:00:11.880 align:middle line:84%
but his heart was
a finished piece.

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:13.740 align:middle line:84%
He loved the Wizard
of Oz, he loved

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:17.130 align:middle line:84%
to gargle with triple sec,
hit midgets with spatulas.

00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:20.040 align:middle line:84%
And when the police would
confer at our doorstep,

00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:23.910 align:middle line:84%
he'd stare at them in
a steadiness of wonder.

00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:27.270 align:middle line:84%
Easier to chew on rocks
than be like that.

00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:31.350 align:middle line:84%
Between us, it's easier to
wrestle macaques, balance

00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:34.788 align:middle line:90%
encyclopedias on your penis."

00:00:34.788 --> 00:00:36.330 align:middle line:84%
I read that poem
once in a bookstore,

00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:38.872 align:middle line:84%
and I had a sort of a reverse
heckler at the end of the poem.

00:00:38.872 --> 00:00:41.878 align:middle line:90%
He yelled out, easier for you.

00:00:41.878 --> 00:00:42.420 align:middle line:90%
I don't know.

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:46.490 align:middle line:90%
I had a bad experience.
