00:00:00.630 --> 00:00:03.240 align:middle line:84%
And one last poem from me,
called "Sitting at Night

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.130 align:middle line:90%
on the Front Porch."

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:06.630 align:middle line:84%
There where I live
in Laguna Beach,

00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:09.510 align:middle line:84%
out on a big steep
canyon side and there's

00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:12.225 align:middle line:84%
a road that's
almost a mile below,

00:00:12.225 --> 00:00:16.560 align:middle line:84%
where you can watch the
car lights coming down.

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:20.850 align:middle line:84%
I'm here on the dark porch,
restyled in my mother's chair.

00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:23.700 align:middle line:90%
10:45 and no moon.

00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:27.000 align:middle line:84%
Below the house, car lights
swing down on the canyon floor

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.320 align:middle line:90%
to the sea.

00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.710 align:middle line:84%
In this, they resemble us
dropping like match flames

00:00:32.710 --> 00:00:35.650 align:middle line:84%
through the great
void under our feet.

00:00:35.650 --> 00:00:39.970 align:middle line:84%
In this, they resemble her
burning and disappearing.

00:00:39.970 --> 00:00:43.960 align:middle line:84%
Everyone gone, and I'm
here sizing the dark,

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.620 align:middle line:90%
saving my mother's seat.

00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:47.387 align:middle line:90%
