00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.690 align:middle line:90%


00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:04.740 align:middle line:90%
Again, I love words.

00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:07.800 align:middle line:84%
I have a list of my top
favorite words of all time.

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:09.810 align:middle line:90%
I just like the way they sound.

00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:12.030 align:middle line:84%
Like facetious is one
of my favorite words

00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:15.850 align:middle line:84%
ever because it doesn't
sound the way you spell it,

00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:17.310 align:middle line:90%
and also just what it means.

00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:19.140 align:middle line:84%
So anyway, I have a
list of top 10 words.

00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:21.240 align:middle line:84%
My students always
make fun of me.

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:24.300 align:middle line:84%
So a lover of words
means logophile.

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:27.570 align:middle line:84%
And so this poem is
called "Logophile,"

00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:31.280 align:middle line:90%
and this is for word lovers.

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.170 align:middle line:84%
"You like the way my
lips come together

00:00:33.170 --> 00:00:37.220 align:middle line:84%
when I say the word serendipity,
something about the letter

00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:39.770 align:middle line:84%
P coming together just
to be pulled apart

00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:42.120 align:middle line:90%
again to complete the word.

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:44.070 align:middle line:90%
What about postmeridian?

00:00:44.070 --> 00:00:46.215 align:middle line:90%
Begins together, ends together.

00:00:46.215 --> 00:00:47.680 align:middle line:90%
It doesn't count.

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:52.000 align:middle line:84%
It's two words you mumbled under
the goose feather comforter.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.500 align:middle line:90%
Corruption is better.

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:57.730 align:middle line:84%
The tongue has a bit of a
solo before acquiescing.

00:00:57.730 --> 00:01:00.550 align:middle line:84%
The morning sunshine
intruded our conversation

00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:04.209 align:middle line:84%
and barren apartment walls
as candle wax trickled

00:01:04.209 --> 00:01:07.050 align:middle line:90%
over wine bottlenecks."
