00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.430 align:middle line:84%
And the poem called
"Spider Crystal Ascension."

00:00:04.430 --> 00:00:06.855 align:middle line:84%
I picked the three biggest
words out of the poem,

00:00:06.855 --> 00:00:08.480 align:middle line:84%
and made the title
about it, because it

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.240 align:middle line:84%
sounded like an ideogram--
spider, crystal, ascension.

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.010 align:middle line:90%
I like that sound.

00:00:13.010 --> 00:00:16.850 align:middle line:84%
It's five lines about
looking at the Milky Way,

00:00:16.850 --> 00:00:20.310 align:middle line:90%
among other things.

00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:24.270 align:middle line:84%
"The spider, juiced crystal and
Milky Way, drifts on his web

00:00:24.270 --> 00:00:30.510 align:middle line:84%
through the night sky and looks
down, waiting for us to ascend.

00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:34.440 align:middle line:84%
At dawn, he is still there,
invisible, short of breath,

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:36.990 align:middle line:90%
mending his net.

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:38.940 align:middle line:84%
All morning, we look
for the white face

00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:42.750 align:middle line:84%
to rise from the lake
like a tiny star.

00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:47.990 align:middle line:84%
And when it does, we lie back
in our watery hair and rock."
