"Nebraskan Bribes."

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.350 align:middle line:84%
"Not once and a river yet: a
rapid run of reckless mouths

00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:10.770 align:middle line:84%
gnash their way through the
alphabet's mini motorways.

00:00:10.770 --> 00:00:13.830 align:middle line:84%
The crowd faces like hot
dominoes and doldrums,

00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:17.580 align:middle line:84%
their destiny too dense to
parse, too dear to describe,

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:19.520 align:middle line:90%
is in denial.

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:23.330 align:middle line:84%
Give them this day before
they chew even the scenery.

00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:26.480 align:middle line:84%
Before they crush the shunts
that keep the sky in its place

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.360 align:middle line:84%
and squash the
sarsaparilla tufts of cloud

00:00:29.360 --> 00:00:32.650 align:middle line:84%
that congeal at the
eye's very edges.

00:00:32.650 --> 00:00:36.820 align:middle line:84%
Give them the blood, the bread,
the ghost, the salty tines

00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:38.350 align:middle line:90%
of Satan's seasick fork.

00:00:38.350 --> 00:00:39.010 align:middle line:90%
It's hot.

00:00:39.010 --> 00:00:42.490 align:middle line:84%
Give me an open
window or something.

00:00:42.490 --> 00:00:47.390 align:middle line:84%
I feel the heat of a holy
oven upon my household.

00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:52.930 align:middle line:84%
To care is to sometimes kill,
as we have sometimes been told.

00:00:52.930 --> 00:00:55.750 align:middle line:84%
To care is to carve the
image of our caretaker

00:00:55.750 --> 00:01:00.220 align:middle line:84%
into this idle tree
and border crossing.

00:01:00.220 --> 00:01:03.340 align:middle line:84%
Under how many watts
must this age be broiled?

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:05.980 align:middle line:84%
Douse me in better water
for brisker belief.

00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:10.570 align:middle line:84%
Do this in remembrance of our
impractical head and heads,

00:01:10.570 --> 00:01:13.890 align:middle line:84%
our illiterate
heart and hearts."
