Frances is too cute.

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:05.520 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:06.120 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:17.350 align:middle line:90%


00:00:17.350 --> 00:00:19.510 align:middle line:84%
If you want to say anything,
you just [INAUDIBLE]..

00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:20.620 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, Frances.

00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:24.040 align:middle line:90%
That was too good.

00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:25.990 align:middle line:90%
It's nice to see you all here.

00:00:25.990 --> 00:00:31.480 align:middle line:84%
We're going to read as the
spirit moves us in response

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.120 align:middle line:90%
to each other back and forth.

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:37.390 align:middle line:84%
We'll try to create a
kind of conversation,

00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:39.940 align:middle line:90%
we haven't rehearsed it.

00:00:39.940 --> 00:00:44.140 align:middle line:90%
I'm sure Regie, as much as I--

00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:48.460 align:middle line:84%
has a feeling for certain poems
that he will want to read,

00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:51.250 align:middle line:84%
but we don't know
exactly where it'll go

00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:54.990 align:middle line:84%
and Regie's going to
start, I'll respond

00:00:54.990 --> 00:00:56.365 align:middle line:84%
and then we'll go
back and forth.

00:00:56.365 --> 00:01:00.080 align:middle line:90%


00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:02.110 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:01:02.110 --> 00:01:03.340 align:middle line:90%
Are we OK?

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:04.040 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:04.540 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:07.360 align:middle line:84%
Let me just say thanks
also to the Poetry Center,

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:09.700 align:middle line:84%
I was going to do it
later, but let me get it

00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:11.620 align:middle line:84%
out of the way now
because who knows where

00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:15.430 align:middle line:84%
this conversation will take
my thoughts and I may forget,

00:01:15.430 --> 00:01:17.890 align:middle line:84%
so I'm sure I speak
for both of us

00:01:17.890 --> 00:01:20.890 align:middle line:84%
when I say that it's
really a great pleasure

00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:23.140 align:middle line:84%
to have been invited
here and to be

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:25.180 align:middle line:84%
able to participate
in the activities

00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:26.890 align:middle line:90%
of a wonderful institution.

00:01:26.890 --> 00:01:29.400 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, Gail and Frances.
