00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.270 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read a bunch
of poems from a manuscript

00:00:06.270 --> 00:00:08.530 align:middle line:90%
that I have ready to go.

00:00:08.530 --> 00:00:12.062 align:middle line:84%
It's called Shiner,
and the first poem

00:00:12.062 --> 00:00:13.020 align:middle line:90%
is "Shiner," which is--

00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:14.103 align:middle line:90%
I think-- in your program.

00:00:14.103 --> 00:00:17.380 align:middle line:90%


00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:19.620 align:middle line:90%
"Shiner."

00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:22.080 align:middle line:84%
"I wake up growling
apples and dirt, naked

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:24.480 align:middle line:90%
and stretched under a barn sky.

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.480 align:middle line:84%
I cannot recall how
I hurt my right eye.

00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.700 align:middle line:84%
Arch of vessels gone
grape under the lid.

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:32.520 align:middle line:84%
An army of red ants,
a cast of shadows.

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:33.570 align:middle line:90%
Good God.

00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:35.250 align:middle line:90%
My eye has gone weak.

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:38.880 align:middle line:84%
Simply put, I walked
into an opening door.

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.830 align:middle line:84%
The world is constantly
changing shape.

00:00:40.830 --> 00:00:42.600 align:middle line:90%
It's very dangerous.

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.840 align:middle line:84%
Two desert tortoises duke
it out on Arizona soil.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.620 align:middle line:84%
By morning, one is always
left belly-up to boil.

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:52.680 align:middle line:84%
Now you roll around with a rock
and see what kind of bruise

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:54.630 align:middle line:90%
you can muster.

00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:58.140 align:middle line:84%
Dolefulness, caprice,
regret, trauma.

00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:01.500 align:middle line:84%
My bicycle has two
seats, get on."
