Another fake sonnet, I
call them sonnetnese,

00:00:03.230 --> 00:00:07.610 align:middle line:84%
half sonnet, half
a Chinese lyric.

00:00:07.610 --> 00:00:13.340 align:middle line:84%
This one is called
"Advice for E."

00:00:13.340 --> 00:00:20.180 align:middle line:84%
"Be the stealth between stones,
the abracadabra among clones.

00:00:20.180 --> 00:00:24.470 align:middle line:84%
Be the fighting fish
with a fancy tail,

00:00:24.470 --> 00:00:28.610 align:middle line:90%

One day, a wombat,
next day a sage.

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.920 align:middle line:84%
On the way to feeding a
despot you summoned your rage.

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.850 align:middle line:84%
Most virtuous Mother,
don't be fooled,

00:00:52.850 --> 00:00:57.260 align:middle line:84%

shelter, scorch our earth.

00:00:57.260 --> 00:01:02.240 align:middle line:84%
Unwind, regroup, turn
swine into pearl.

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:08.090 align:middle line:84%
Be the change you want
to see in the girl."

00:01:08.090 --> 00:01:08.990 align:middle line:90%
So.
