00:00:01.697 --> 00:00:03.780 align:middle line:84%
Well, I'd like to finish
with some more new poems.

00:00:03.780 --> 00:00:07.510 align:middle line:90%


00:00:07.510 --> 00:00:09.475 align:middle line:84%
This first one was written
in Taos, New Mexico.

00:00:09.475 --> 00:00:14.220 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:18.960 align:middle line:84%
"The dirt part of the road is
five miles, left, up short,

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.140 align:middle line:90%
steep hill, left.

00:00:22.140 --> 00:00:26.340 align:middle line:84%
Second definite "Y"
road winds around.

00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:32.759 align:middle line:84%
Road follows pole with two black
arrows, where there's only one.

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.590 align:middle line:84%
The first time
you're frightened,

00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:37.790 align:middle line:90%
then you can't live without it.

00:00:37.790 --> 00:00:42.290 align:middle line:84%
Several windmills confessing
"I need you" once or twice,

00:00:42.290 --> 00:00:44.840 align:middle line:90%
but it does not happen twice.

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.610 align:middle line:84%
Oh, ocean, I'm
sorry I met someone

00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:51.610 align:middle line:90%
when I was with someone else.

00:00:51.610 --> 00:00:55.450 align:middle line:84%
Straw in the walls and
thunder every afternoon.

00:00:55.450 --> 00:00:59.290 align:middle line:84%
When it is noon, the poor
pooling of men in the state

00:00:59.290 --> 00:01:01.420 align:middle line:90%
penitentiary.

00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:05.080 align:middle line:84%
On the onyx leg of the
drive to Albuquerque,

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:08.920 align:middle line:84%
dirty nails and painted
cars along the freeway.

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:13.660 align:middle line:84%
The lone road, the dirt
branch, and the tiny view--

00:01:13.660 --> 00:01:16.900 align:middle line:84%
but this is not that
branch, nor heat.

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:18.940 align:middle line:90%
This is the brain walled.

00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:25.880 align:middle line:84%
The church at Rancho de Taos,
exorcised 15 angles in the sun.

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:28.780 align:middle line:84%
Wind on the
corrugated metal eyes,

00:01:28.780 --> 00:01:32.080 align:middle line:84%
on the horse
stalled motorcycles,

00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:36.280 align:middle line:84%
the motels of love
on a Thursday,

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.970 align:middle line:90%
on a Saturday, all afternoon.

00:01:39.970 --> 00:01:44.410 align:middle line:84%
Violent beauty-- is that
what beauty is about?

00:01:44.410 --> 00:01:49.150 align:middle line:84%
Past psycho pickup trucks,
a windmill on the right.

00:01:49.150 --> 00:01:51.640 align:middle line:84%
This is that dirt
part of the road

00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.370 align:middle line:84%
where their love in
certain circumstances

00:01:54.370 --> 00:01:56.980 align:middle line:90%
might be superfluous.

00:01:56.980 --> 00:01:59.380 align:middle line:84%
And immediately
after that ardor,

00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:05.260 align:middle line:84%
this technicolor plum hastened
to that dusk, these friends,

00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:06.115 align:middle line:90%
one other.

00:02:06.115 --> 00:02:08.710 align:middle line:90%


00:02:08.710 --> 00:02:12.130 align:middle line:90%
It is unusually cool for July.

00:02:12.130 --> 00:02:14.620 align:middle line:84%
Not for a moment
have I forgotten

00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:18.730 align:middle line:84%
the infinite tiny poem
bolting the arroyo.

00:02:18.730 --> 00:02:22.720 align:middle line:84%
The fable of the red,
the drench of the white,

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:26.020 align:middle line:84%
the felony of the
yellow, the cleavage

00:02:26.020 --> 00:02:29.950 align:middle line:84%
of the black, cool summer
night in the desert;

00:02:29.950 --> 00:02:32.550 align:middle line:90%
boulevard of stars."

00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:34.000 align:middle line:90%
