00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.610 align:middle line:90%


00:00:01.610 --> 00:00:02.825 align:middle line:90%
It's very hot.

00:00:02.825 --> 00:00:05.076 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:00:05.076 --> 00:00:07.160 align:middle line:90%


00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.350 align:middle line:84%
And I think I have time
for new stuff, yeah?

00:00:09.350 --> 00:00:12.770 align:middle line:90%
OK, great.

00:00:12.770 --> 00:00:15.860 align:middle line:84%
So I want to read you all
a bunch of new things,

00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:18.260 align:middle line:84%
more new things than I
have time for, honestly.

00:00:18.260 --> 00:00:21.710 align:middle line:84%
But most importantly,
last night,

00:00:21.710 --> 00:00:24.710 align:middle line:84%
I thought to myself that I
would take it extra easy.

00:00:24.710 --> 00:00:26.570 align:middle line:84%
I'd go back to the
apartment, I would

00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:29.900 align:middle line:84%
go to sleep early, get some
rest, really prepare for today.

00:00:29.900 --> 00:00:33.710 align:middle line:84%
And then the moon called out to
me and said, the fuck you are.

00:00:33.710 --> 00:00:35.390 align:middle line:90%
Get out here.

00:00:35.390 --> 00:00:38.210 align:middle line:84%
And then I went walking
until three in the morning,

00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:39.950 align:middle line:90%
and I walked five miles.

00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:46.260 align:middle line:84%
And when I got back, I
had to take some dictation

00:00:46.260 --> 00:00:47.430 align:middle line:90%
from the moon.

00:00:47.430 --> 00:00:49.950 align:middle line:84%
And so this is
called "Moon Talk."

00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:51.525 align:middle line:90%
And this was written last night.

00:00:51.525 --> 00:00:54.050 align:middle line:90%


00:00:54.050 --> 00:00:58.220 align:middle line:84%
Up past midnight every
night, giving in to the work,

00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:01.790 align:middle line:84%
giving in to the moon, giving
in to that which beckons.

00:01:01.790 --> 00:01:04.370 align:middle line:84%
After all, what else
is this time for?

00:01:04.370 --> 00:01:07.040 align:middle line:84%
What else would you have
me do with time and space?

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.440 align:middle line:84%
I might just rally a
comeback, strong enough

00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:13.620 align:middle line:84%
to convince the moon to monsoon
in the vast expanse of living

00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:14.120 align:middle line:90%
heat.

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.720 align:middle line:84%
I may be beat up and worn
down, but I am not beaten.

00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:22.280 align:middle line:84%
And far from worn out, I'm
still all the way out here,

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.740 align:middle line:84%
still down, still
throwing putasos

00:01:24.740 --> 00:01:27.470 align:middle line:84%
against the state, still
an enemy of the state,

00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:30.050 align:middle line:84%
still writing
poems, still, still

00:01:30.050 --> 00:01:32.540 align:middle line:84%
I live this big
beautiful life I've

00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:34.460 align:middle line:90%
had to fight every day for.

00:01:34.460 --> 00:01:36.620 align:middle line:84%
Still digging
trenches on the page,

00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:39.680 align:middle line:84%
trying to bring you some
sort of refuge or respite

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.600 align:middle line:90%
from the fascist pyramid scheme.

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:43.790 align:middle line:84%
These gnats of
flat names need not

00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:46.010 align:middle line:84%
be feared any more
than a hangover.

00:01:46.010 --> 00:01:47.720 align:middle line:90%
This, too, shall pass.

00:01:47.720 --> 00:01:51.920 align:middle line:84%
I'm taking dictation direct from
the moon, live from the desert,

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.140 align:middle line:84%
live from the floor of
the most tender revenge,

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:57.660 align:middle line:84%
live from the bottom of
everything and nothing.

00:01:57.660 --> 00:02:00.000 align:middle line:90%
There is still no giving up.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.620 align:middle line:90%
Give it all but a--

00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:04.790 align:middle line:90%
this is a stick up.

00:02:04.790 --> 00:02:08.449 align:middle line:84%
Empty that consciousness,
let it all go.

00:02:08.449 --> 00:02:10.580 align:middle line:90%
Let yourself hold nothing back.

00:02:10.580 --> 00:02:13.970 align:middle line:84%
Break diamond, hold the night
sky in the crook of your heart

00:02:13.970 --> 00:02:17.990 align:middle line:84%
until you remember what it means
to continue and become flowers.

00:02:17.990 --> 00:02:21.590 align:middle line:90%


00:02:21.590 --> 00:02:23.740 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]
