All right.

00:00:00.750 --> 00:00:02.280 align:middle line:84%
For a while I was
kind of obsessed

00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:05.588 align:middle line:84%
on the idea of walking poems,
or thinking about walking,

00:00:05.588 --> 00:00:06.630 align:middle line:90%
or writing while walking.

00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:08.203 align:middle line:90%
And I'm going to just--

00:00:08.203 --> 00:00:09.370 align:middle line:90%
these are just two of those.

00:00:09.370 --> 00:00:11.880 align:middle line:90%
So this one's called Walk.

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:13.740 align:middle line:90%
I went out and took a walk.

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.350 align:middle line:84%
The streets were moist and
misty with summer rain.

00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:19.380 align:middle line:84%
I gave a man with one leg
a piece of blueberry pie.

00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:22.650 align:middle line:84%
He seemed very happy
about it and so was I.

00:00:22.650 --> 00:00:24.210 align:middle line:90%
The walk was a poem.

00:00:24.210 --> 00:00:26.520 align:middle line:90%
A poem is an opera of the heart.

00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:28.740 align:middle line:84%
Write it and worry about
what it means later.

00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:31.680 align:middle line:84%
That is, what does it mean
to have a heart if you can't

00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:34.500 align:middle line:90%
feed someone with a cut of it.

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:35.000 align:middle line:90%
