00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:02.760 align:middle line:90%
This is a poem.

00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:13.810 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.810 --> 00:00:16.050 align:middle line:90%
It's called Celestial Overseers.

00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:24.800 align:middle line:84%
And I think it's
about clouds, I mean.

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.550 align:middle line:84%
Something well, you
know, something above.

00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:28.133 align:middle line:84%
I think it started
being about clouds,

00:00:28.133 --> 00:00:30.780 align:middle line:84%
maybe looking down and the
idea of something up there,

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:34.850 align:middle line:84%
you know, jotting down
following all your activities.

00:00:34.850 --> 00:00:39.300 align:middle line:90%


00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:43.200 align:middle line:84%
Do they count my
steps meticulously?

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.020 align:middle line:84%
Have they reached the figure of
many zeros separated by commas?

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:53.340 align:middle line:84%
Could I have walked already
to the nearest star?

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:57.900 align:middle line:84%
Recall for me please
one of my first steps.

00:00:57.900 --> 00:01:02.430 align:middle line:84%
I want a suit I was
wearing that day pressed.

00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:06.750 align:middle line:84%
I want my mother again
to hold my hand tightly.

00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:11.340 align:middle line:84%
That must be our grandmother
there in the open coffin.

00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:14.520 align:middle line:84%
Her hands are chopped from
so much scrubbing the floor

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:18.030 align:middle line:90%
we walk on in black shoes.

00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:20.880 align:middle line:84%
The three little
steps I then took

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:23.640 align:middle line:84%
so that I may be
lifted up to kiss her.

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.580 align:middle line:84%
And the three equally
tiny ones to get back.

00:01:27.580 --> 00:01:32.320 align:middle line:84%
Do they still resound at
ever receding magnitudes?

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:35.630 align:middle line:84%
Could that dog sitting
Sphinx-like at the seashore

00:01:35.630 --> 00:01:39.330 align:middle line:84%
hear my new shoes
squeaking and squeaking

00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:41.900 align:middle line:90%
on the other side of the world?

00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.490 align:middle line:90%
