I want to read three more poems.

00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:07.155 align:middle line:84%
The first two are about
glass in different ways.

00:00:07.155 --> 00:00:10.812 align:middle line:90%


00:00:10.812 --> 00:00:12.145 align:middle line:90%
This poem is called Now Renting.

00:00:12.145 --> 00:00:15.730 align:middle line:90%


00:00:15.730 --> 00:00:18.610 align:middle line:84%
Tucson goes on
building up the way

00:00:18.610 --> 00:00:22.030 align:middle line:84%
it is, you'll have signs
too saying "now renting"

00:00:22.030 --> 00:00:30.010 align:middle line:84%
before the building
ever is built.

00:00:30.010 --> 00:00:33.790 align:middle line:84%
Nobody remembers the
original site of course.

00:00:33.790 --> 00:00:36.490 align:middle line:90%
What was there to remember?

00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:39.550 align:middle line:84%
Somebody nobody remembers
wanted the little building,

00:00:39.550 --> 00:00:43.120 align:middle line:84%
nobody knows why, on the
original site, and clearly no

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:45.940 align:middle line:90%
doubt had to.

00:00:45.940 --> 00:00:48.350 align:middle line:84%
Later somebody wanted
a little more space

00:00:48.350 --> 00:00:50.620 align:middle line:84%
and set up a scaffold
around the first building,

00:00:50.620 --> 00:00:54.880 align:middle line:84%
and built the walls higher and
then tore down the scaffold.

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.190 align:middle line:84%
Then in time, somebody
put up more scaffolding

00:00:57.190 --> 00:00:58.840 align:middle line:84%
and tore down the
whole building,

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.940 align:middle line:84%
and dug a hole in
the original site

00:01:00.940 --> 00:01:03.730 align:middle line:84%
and put up a bigger building
and tore down the scaffolding

00:01:03.730 --> 00:01:08.080 align:middle line:84%
to the accompaniment of music
announcing a golden age.

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:10.150 align:middle line:84%
But somebody with
vision soon put

00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:12.220 align:middle line:84%
more scaffolding on
top of the building

00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:15.220 align:middle line:84%
and raised the whole structure
even higher than before,

00:01:15.220 --> 00:01:16.940 align:middle line:90%
and tore down the scaffolding.

00:01:16.940 --> 00:01:19.240 align:middle line:84%
But a while after that,
somebody put up more

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:21.640 align:middle line:84%
scaffolding clear above
the top of the building

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.530 align:middle line:84%
and tore down the
building inside it,

00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:26.530 align:middle line:84%
and went on adding scaffolding
with glass pictures

00:01:26.530 --> 00:01:31.120 align:middle line:84%
on it all the way up of a
glass building never built

00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.770 align:middle line:84%
on that site with nobody
inside it at all the windows

00:01:35.770 --> 00:01:38.400 align:middle line:90%
to see the motionless clouds.
