00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:03.060 align:middle line:84%
And this one is "Second
Avenue in Winter."

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:06.120 align:middle line:84%
I live in New York, I
think that she mentioned.

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.230 align:middle line:84%
And in this heat, this poem
is a little incongruous,

00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:14.550 align:middle line:84%
because there's a lot of snow
here, but I'll read it anyway.

00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:17.670 align:middle line:90%
"Second Avenue in Winter."

00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:20.220 align:middle line:84%
"In the wintry mix, guys
are digging up Second Avenue

00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:21.720 align:middle line:90%
with monster trucks.

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:24.960 align:middle line:84%
We part ways after the flick,
much too violent for our taste

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.080 align:middle line:84%
tonight, and now we're
out $8.75 all around.

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:28.590 align:middle line:90%
Bam!

00:00:28.590 --> 00:00:32.380 align:middle line:84%
Bam! go the shots in my head,
but I'm too tired for danger.

00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:34.740 align:middle line:84%
So I don't walk near the three
guys who have pulled over

00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:36.270 align:middle line:90%
to piss on my block.

00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.420 align:middle line:84%
I just don't feel like seeing
their pricks at this late hour,

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:43.350 align:middle line:84%
nor walking through their
steaming streams of urine.

00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:45.960 align:middle line:84%
At home, Stephen Hawking is
aslant in his wheelchair,

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:47.430 align:middle line:90%
speaking through a box.

00:00:47.430 --> 00:00:49.650 align:middle line:84%
He's telling us
about black holes,

00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:52.560 align:middle line:84%
about how they were
discovered on a blackboard.

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.840 align:middle line:84%
How we may be
waiting for a signal

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.110 align:middle line:84%
sent one hundred years ago,
and it'll take a hundred more

00:00:58.110 --> 00:00:59.200 align:middle line:90%
to send one back.

00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.800 align:middle line:84%
So how do we stay interested
over that kind of time?

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:03.540 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:03.540 --> 00:01:06.090 align:middle line:84%
Now that there's no more
wine, and it's time for bed,

00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:09.500 align:middle line:84%
and it's such a comfort
to be less than a breath."
