OK, some new poems.

00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:05.083 align:middle line:84%
This is the poem that was on the
handout from the Poetry Center.

00:00:05.083 --> 00:00:07.500 align:middle line:84%
I only got five or six of
these, and they're pretty short.

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:11.730 align:middle line:90%


00:00:11.730 --> 00:00:13.380 align:middle line:90%
"35 years before Christ"--

00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:16.020 align:middle line:90%


00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:18.660 align:middle line:84%
these-- I don't know
what to say about these.

00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:22.450 align:middle line:90%


00:00:22.450 --> 00:00:24.400 align:middle line:84%
They're different from
what I used to write,

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:25.960 align:middle line:90%
I guess is all I can say.

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.440 align:middle line:84%
"35 years before
Christ, it may be

00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.280 align:middle line:84%
the actual labor
of actual sleep,

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.040 align:middle line:90%
the actual spirit working.

00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:41.200 align:middle line:84%
A dozen miles, thought Horus,
out of Rome, all magnificence

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.070 align:middle line:90%
behind us, as if he knew.

00:00:45.070 --> 00:00:50.320 align:middle line:84%
Portland, 1968-- rain
in the civic auditorium,

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.370 align:middle line:84%
Linda and Sandra,
girls like herons leg,

00:00:54.370 --> 00:00:59.080 align:middle line:84%
shopping among the civilians,
her grief strong brow,

00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:04.180 align:middle line:84%
armpit's silver embellishment,
maybe the actual spirit

00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:08.400 align:middle line:84%
reworking the
actual effacement."
