00:00:07.243 --> 00:00:08.535 align:middle line:90%
poem called "Up to the Minute."

"A jet falls on a cow.

00:00:16.470 --> 00:00:19.020 align:middle line:84%
Part of the animal
sticks out and twitches,

00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:23.190 align:middle line:84%
like the usual closeups
of the hero's jaw.

00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:28.500 align:middle line:84%
Children I admire play in the
crushed cows shadow, and even

00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:32.700 align:middle line:84%
the plane itself has been left
atop the skeletonized milk

00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:39.300 align:middle line:84%
giver, clouding one's
dreams of a bloodless coup.

00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.450 align:middle line:90%
That's "Up to the Minute."
