00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:05.550 align:middle line:84%
The next poem is a passport
photo asks me two by two myself

00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:07.470 align:middle line:84%
and capture what
I am in neutral.

00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:10.450 align:middle line:84%
And I recall I have yet to see
the chambers of my heart turn

00:00:10.450 --> 00:00:10.950 align:middle line:90%
tusk.

00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:13.610 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.610 --> 00:00:15.320 align:middle line:84%
A passport photo
should be mailed

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.930 align:middle line:84%
to the federal government
with my birth certificate,

00:00:17.930 --> 00:00:20.700 align:middle line:84%
and I wonder if
they will return.

00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:24.810 align:middle line:84%
Consider the power
of printed paper.

00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:28.140 align:middle line:90%
Asks me daily, am I Brown?

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:29.520 align:middle line:90%
Am I white?

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:30.435 align:middle line:90%
Am I?

00:00:30.435 --> 00:00:31.800 align:middle line:90%
I am.

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.000 align:middle line:90%
Am I?

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:34.490 align:middle line:90%
I am.

00:00:34.490 --> 00:00:36.470 align:middle line:90%
I am.

00:00:36.470 --> 00:00:40.030 align:middle line:84%
I wonder when the
trends transitions.

00:00:40.030 --> 00:00:43.690 align:middle line:84%
Two by two myself a neat
shape raises no questions

00:00:43.690 --> 00:00:47.650 align:middle line:90%
and tells you no lies.

00:00:47.650 --> 00:00:50.755 align:middle line:90%
Capture what I am in neutral.

00:00:50.755 --> 00:00:55.030 align:middle line:90%


00:00:55.030 --> 00:00:59.170 align:middle line:84%
I have yet to see a sunrise
in the shadow or a child birth

00:00:59.170 --> 00:01:01.780 align:middle line:84%
itself from the inside
of a Joshua tree.

00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:05.720 align:middle line:84%
And this does not mean
it is not possible.

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:10.850 align:middle line:84%
The chamber of my heart
is a quiet, quiet.

00:01:10.850 --> 00:01:15.880 align:middle line:84%
The outside of a pulse
driving into fire.

00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:19.060 align:middle line:84%
Turn tusk, turn dusk, turn
day, turn lingua, turn lingua,

00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:23.320 align:middle line:84%
turn franca, turn español,
turn sombra, así, atrás, allí,

00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:34.400 align:middle line:84%
acá, to here, yes, here,
yes, here, it is dark.

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.700 align:middle line:84%
Looks at me how Teddy Roosevelt
died coveting a white buffalo.

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:40.340 align:middle line:84%
Looks at me as a
mirror, and a mirror

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:42.470 align:middle line:90%
has no voice in the exchange.

00:01:42.470 --> 00:01:45.440 align:middle line:84%
How I find my grandpa's
alien registration

00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:49.220 align:middle line:84%
card in a box of tools,
the things required.

00:01:49.220 --> 00:01:52.000 align:middle line:90%


00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.850 align:middle line:84%
Teddy Roosevelt was
drawn by Martín Ramírez,

00:01:54.850 --> 00:01:56.830 align:middle line:90%
or so I have now invented.

00:01:56.830 --> 00:01:59.440 align:middle line:84%
The Red Rider, frenzy
eyed and bullet fashioned,

00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:02.170 align:middle line:84%
may in fact leap from a horse
that will buck him off first.

00:02:02.170 --> 00:02:04.270 align:middle line:84%
Teddy is not in a
manner of mirrors

00:02:04.270 --> 00:02:06.490 align:middle line:90%
inside a force of cartography.

00:02:06.490 --> 00:02:07.810 align:middle line:90%
He is going West.

00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:11.560 align:middle line:84%
He will be institutionalized,
tuberculosis and schizophrenia.

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.560 align:middle line:90%
He will not not be President.

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.440 align:middle line:90%
Martín has conjured a labyrinth.

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:21.280 align:middle line:90%
He walks through, Teddy stays.

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.060 align:middle line:84%
Died is a static
word used by people

00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:29.760 align:middle line:84%
to tell others a movement
or a person is finally gone.

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:31.500 align:middle line:90%
What if I write?

00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:33.750 align:middle line:84%
I breathed in the
air of my grandma

00:02:33.750 --> 00:02:37.130 align:middle line:90%
the moment she became atomic.

00:02:37.130 --> 00:02:41.010 align:middle line:84%
What if I write outside of
what the human eye can see?

00:02:41.010 --> 00:02:43.650 align:middle line:90%
The atomic is infinite.

00:02:43.650 --> 00:02:48.560 align:middle line:84%
What if I write a border
can be built or raised,

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.340 align:middle line:90%
but never atomic?

00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:55.000 align:middle line:90%
