00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:03.730 align:middle line:84%
Some days you don't
believe it, that's all.

00:00:03.730 --> 00:00:07.510 align:middle line:90%
Some days it's not true.

00:00:07.510 --> 00:00:09.810 align:middle line:90%
I have a thing about America--

00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:12.420 align:middle line:84%
American's sense
of professional--

00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:14.310 align:middle line:90%
you know all these--

00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:17.840 align:middle line:84%
I mean, half the
time, I mean, how

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:20.880 align:middle line:84%
we explain decisions, great
governmental decisions

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:23.340 align:middle line:84%
to ourselves, is that they
know what we don't know:

00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:29.010 align:middle line:84%
that is, it's expertitis,
I think we have.

00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:32.400 align:middle line:84%
No I mean doctors forget
that what their patients feel

00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:34.292 align:middle line:84%
is greater than all
the Latin things for it

00:00:34.292 --> 00:00:35.250 align:middle line:90%
that they've memorized.

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:37.230 align:middle line:84%
I mean they forget
sometimes it seems to me

00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:39.540 align:middle line:90%
to consult the real authorities.

00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:41.100 align:middle line:84%
And again it's
expertitis and there's

00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.950 align:middle line:84%
a sense in what
you purchase over

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.980 align:middle line:90%
an education is a set of names.

00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:48.600 align:middle line:90%
It's exclusivity again too.

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.820 align:middle line:84%
A set of exclusive names
so that other people

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:52.680 align:middle line:84%
can be the ones who
don't know and you

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:53.950 align:middle line:90%
can be the one who knows.

00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:57.090 align:middle line:84%
And it's absurd when it comes
to the childbirth and these

00:00:57.090 --> 00:01:00.660 align:middle line:84%
obstetricians are telling
these women, you know--

00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:04.110 align:middle line:84%
everybody complains about
that and Roy Blount said that

00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:07.710 align:middle line:84%
studying literature at Harvard
was like studying women

00:01:07.710 --> 00:01:11.810 align:middle line:90%
at the Mayo Clinic which--

00:01:11.810 --> 00:01:13.185 align:middle line:84%
I'm here to tell
you that's true.

00:01:13.185 --> 00:01:15.950 align:middle line:90%


00:01:15.950 --> 00:01:20.465 align:middle line:84%
And all you need is a
heart and a feel for it.

00:01:20.465 --> 00:01:22.756 align:middle line:90%
This poem is called Hard.

00:01:22.756 --> 00:01:26.570 align:middle line:90%


00:01:26.570 --> 00:01:29.870 align:middle line:84%
Suppose you have
to move a mountain.

00:01:29.870 --> 00:01:32.750 align:middle line:84%
Do you call up All
or Nothing Limited

00:01:32.750 --> 00:01:37.340 align:middle line:84%
with blasters in battalions
to dispatch the under- and the

00:01:37.340 --> 00:01:40.490 align:middle line:90%
other- worlds to smithereens?

00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:44.930 align:middle line:84%
A moment blows what several
thousand years would ease.

00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:47.930 align:middle line:84%
Time moves the
planet all the time

00:01:47.930 --> 00:01:50.780 align:middle line:84%
without demolishing
the delicate.

00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:53.300 align:middle line:90%
No opposition between powers.

00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:56.660 align:middle line:90%
No antipathy of East to West.

00:01:56.660 --> 00:02:01.520 align:middle line:84%
The networks go so far and
fine we can't conceive them.

00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:06.260 align:middle line:84%
Intricacies of a single rock
or river, rate of rainbow,

00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:08.660 align:middle line:90%
look, I can't get over it.

00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:13.760 align:middle line:84%
Let all your big bulldozing
eras snore their fast Manhattans

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:14.730 align:middle line:90%
up and down.

00:02:14.730 --> 00:02:18.860 align:middle line:84%
Let lovers of the good and
quick erect their clever rocks.

00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:22.040 align:middle line:84%
The graveyard has
its own downtown.

00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:26.420 align:middle line:84%
Let bookends come to be the
mode and reason for the books.

00:02:26.420 --> 00:02:30.620 align:middle line:84%
And men learn only yes and no
in other people's language.

00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:34.130 align:middle line:90%
Understand no code but cracked.

00:02:34.130 --> 00:02:38.480 align:middle line:84%
Perhaps their wills
need execution often.

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:40.700 align:middle line:90%
I have harder work to do.

00:02:40.700 --> 00:02:45.320 align:middle line:84%
A teardrop at a time until
the whole world's stone

00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:46.230 align:middle line:90%
works soften.

00:02:46.230 --> 00:02:49.580 align:middle line:90%
[NO AUDIO]
