00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:02.029 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to end
with a poem now.

00:00:02.029 --> 00:00:05.582 align:middle line:84%
This is a poem
written in couplets,

00:00:05.582 --> 00:00:07.790 align:middle line:84%
but the first line of each
couple and the second line

00:00:07.790 --> 00:00:11.480 align:middle line:84%
of each couplet really
don't make sense together.

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.000 align:middle line:84%
So you keep leaping
with the poem.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.887 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Near"--

00:00:17.887 --> 00:00:21.200 align:middle line:90%
[AUDIO OUT] "--it intuitive?

00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:24.650 align:middle line:84%
I'm just going out for a
moment a complete change

00:00:24.650 --> 00:00:27.920 align:middle line:90%
of life and a profound rest.

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.299 align:middle line:84%
Shall I remember my beach as
one reminisces about fame?

00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:35.990 align:middle line:84%
My father's tender
direct kiss on the lips

00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:39.110 align:middle line:84%
meaningless in the
way someone thinks.

00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:41.720 align:middle line:84%
I'm just going out
for a moment, but only

00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:44.420 align:middle line:84%
suddenly with no shirt,
the beautiful day

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:46.960 align:middle line:90%
coming on tonight.

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.820 align:middle line:84%
Fear or freedom, when
that's understood,

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:55.510 align:middle line:84%
we build, and it isn't
a matter of acquiring.

00:00:55.510 --> 00:00:58.750 align:middle line:90%
It's a matter of divesting.

00:00:58.750 --> 00:01:00.790 align:middle line:90%
Who were my friends?

00:01:00.790 --> 00:01:03.460 align:middle line:90%
Among whom did I move?

00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:09.190 align:middle line:84%
Yellow apples, green and red
grapes, red and orange pears,

00:01:09.190 --> 00:01:11.350 align:middle line:84%
all I want to preserve
is the landscape.

00:01:11.350 --> 00:01:13.930 align:middle line:84%
A guy walks into a
bar, throws down $2,

00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:16.030 align:middle line:90%
adjusts his nuts, and orders.

00:01:16.030 --> 00:01:18.490 align:middle line:84%
The end of the
century cries out.

00:01:18.490 --> 00:01:22.090 align:middle line:84%
Now tell me did you get up at
night, like this as a child?

00:01:22.090 --> 00:01:25.030 align:middle line:84%
On the pretext, night
wasn't made for children?

00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:27.460 align:middle line:90%
We have to prove we're honest?

00:01:27.460 --> 00:01:31.150 align:middle line:84%
How did you know I belong
here, a state as obvious

00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:32.800 align:middle line:90%
as California?

00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:37.680 align:middle line:84%
And who was I stopping
to ask, is this real?

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.850 align:middle line:84%
The smallest creatures near
you are heavenly bodies.

00:01:41.850 --> 00:01:43.110 align:middle line:90%
Natch!

00:01:43.110 --> 00:01:45.390 align:middle line:84%
I'm just going
out for a moment."

00:01:45.390 --> 00:02:03.690 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:02:03.690 --> 00:02:04.290 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:05.840 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:14.000 align:middle line:90%
