00:00:06.895 --> 00:00:07.395 align:middle line:90%
"Mice."

00:00:07.395 --> 00:00:14.780 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.780 --> 00:00:16.620 align:middle line:90%
OK, this is "Mice."

00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:19.070 align:middle line:90%
"They see a cluster of small--"

00:00:19.070 --> 00:00:21.260 align:middle line:84%
I feel like I'm being
a funny poet tonight.

00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:22.440 align:middle line:90%
This doesn't always happen.

00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.820 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes it's like
deeply sad and erotic

00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:30.410 align:middle line:84%
in the darkest possible way,
but tonight, it's funny.

00:00:30.410 --> 00:00:32.870 align:middle line:84%
"They see a cluster
of small rubber ducks

00:00:32.870 --> 00:00:37.430 align:middle line:84%
and scraps of broken shells
and think, I'll shit there.

00:00:37.430 --> 00:00:40.070 align:middle line:84%
We described them as brazen
when they run through what

00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:41.390 align:middle line:90%
actually is their home.

00:00:41.390 --> 00:00:44.280 align:middle line:84%
So I begin to kill them,
because I'm better than them.

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.750 align:middle line:84%
One was seen running into
the bathroom, my bathroom.

00:00:47.750 --> 00:00:50.900 align:middle line:84%
And a small, frail one was
found dead right on the floor.

00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:52.160 align:middle line:90%
And the poison is working.

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:55.770 align:middle line:84%
And I feel bad because in
fact, I liked living with them.

00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:57.140 align:middle line:90%
They're part of my life.

00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:59.420 align:middle line:90%
Their little shits everywhere.

00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:01.400 align:middle line:90%
And I have killed their child.

00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:03.410 align:middle line:84%
They're unclean,
anyone would say.

00:01:03.410 --> 00:01:05.030 align:middle line:90%
Isn't that why I must kill them?

00:01:05.030 --> 00:01:06.590 align:middle line:90%
But I'm unclean too.

00:01:06.590 --> 00:01:08.270 align:middle line:90%
Isn't that why they're here?

00:01:08.270 --> 00:01:11.540 align:middle line:84%
And I generally have guests who
say, this place is so small.

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:13.460 align:middle line:84%
They look around
and I feel shame.

00:01:13.460 --> 00:01:15.840 align:middle line:84%
And I look around usually
right after a trip

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.850 align:middle line:84%
or in a couple of
days, and it's small.

00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:18.870 align:middle line:90%
But not to them.

00:01:18.870 --> 00:01:21.030 align:middle line:90%
They think it's huge, perfect.

00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:22.350 align:middle line:90%
And that is a friend.

00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:24.420 align:middle line:84%
And why don't I
keep them around?

00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:25.200 align:middle line:90%
Come back.

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:25.770 align:middle line:90%
Come back.

00:01:25.770 --> 00:01:27.965 align:middle line:90%
And I know you will."
