00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:07.500 align:middle line:90%
"My heart is a breadbox.

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:12.240 align:middle line:84%
I once ate a village of
19th century binoculars,

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.110 align:middle line:84%
and I ate a waterfall
of neckties.

00:00:16.110 --> 00:00:18.930 align:middle line:84%
I ate a harp strung
with hot vapor

00:00:18.930 --> 00:00:22.920 align:middle line:90%
and mysteries 47 unibrows.

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.830 align:middle line:84%
And I ate a hearty salad
of grass fed explosives

00:00:25.830 --> 00:00:27.510 align:middle line:84%
that eventually
blew up in my face

00:00:27.510 --> 00:00:30.760 align:middle line:90%
and left me perpetually green.

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.910 align:middle line:84%
I chose to run eight miles
to eat the last breadcrumb

00:00:33.910 --> 00:00:36.580 align:middle line:84%
off death's bare
shoulder, but no one

00:00:36.580 --> 00:00:38.920 align:middle line:90%
told me life was cyclical.

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.630 align:middle line:90%
And now, I have shin splints.

00:00:41.630 --> 00:00:43.880 align:middle line:84%
Whenever I eat too
much, I ruminate over

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:45.920 align:middle line:84%
the same misshapen
idea that reeks

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.060 align:middle line:90%
of a damp Venetian slipper.

00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:52.820 align:middle line:84%
And when my aching head is
under the bathroom faucet

00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:55.010 align:middle line:84%
for the sixth time
in a week, understand

00:00:55.010 --> 00:00:57.620 align:middle line:84%
that I'm trying to swim
somewhere far, far away

00:00:57.620 --> 00:00:58.880 align:middle line:90%
from here.

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.360 align:middle line:90%
Just leave me there.

00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:04.870 align:middle line:84%
I once shoved a submarine
that died of asphyxiation

00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:07.480 align:middle line:84%
into an old junior varsity
football duffel bag

00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.220 align:middle line:84%
and bought a one way bus ticket
to Bristol, Rhode Island.

00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:14.910 align:middle line:84%
Embarrassed to say, I was once
a maritime antique collector

00:01:14.910 --> 00:01:18.710 align:middle line:84%
who stubbornly rejected
natural selection.

00:01:18.710 --> 00:01:22.700 align:middle line:84%
Sometimes I litter despair along
the oily flight patterns used

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:25.070 align:middle line:84%
by commercial
airlines and make bets

00:01:25.070 --> 00:01:29.250 align:middle line:84%
whether that despair will
ever write back to me.

00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:32.460 align:middle line:84%
My heart is a breadbox,
and all the birds

00:01:32.460 --> 00:01:36.800 align:middle line:84%
are pecking their secrets
into my bloodstream."
