00:00:00.290 --> 00:00:02.040 align:middle line:84%
This poem, for some
reason, I think always

00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:03.930 align:middle line:84%
goes with that one,
but I don't know why.

00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:09.180 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Star 69," about
that fabulous new phone

00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:11.610 align:middle line:90%
invention, star 69.

00:00:11.610 --> 00:00:14.220 align:middle line:84%
I think together these two
poems make a dyad of jealousy,

00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:19.080 align:middle line:84%
I think, is what's maybe
going on so "Star 69."

00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:21.480 align:middle line:84%
"Jealous cherry is in
the white, white kitchen.

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.900 align:middle line:84%
A seamy breeze in from the
west, I know where it's been.

00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:27.750 align:middle line:84%
It finds me here along
with the murdered fish,

00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:30.300 align:middle line:90%
a rude swelling on my neck.

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.640 align:middle line:84%
Exactly what did you mean,
'you meant to do this to me'?

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:35.640 align:middle line:84%
Scuba blue presses
in on my brow.

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.280 align:middle line:84%
Night's coming on
as a demure elixir.

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.010 align:middle line:84%
The effect you've had
is terrifyingly broad.

00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:42.330 align:middle line:90%
You held out your hand.

00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:44.430 align:middle line:90%
It was full of sugar.

00:00:44.430 --> 00:00:47.010 align:middle line:84%
The bed became
sunshine, then thunder.

00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:48.120 align:middle line:90%
Everything happened.

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.410 align:middle line:90%
Everything changed.

00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:52.800 align:middle line:84%
And then it all slid back,
and it stayed the same.

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:54.990 align:middle line:84%
Still, anything
gets in my heart.

00:00:54.990 --> 00:00:56.850 align:middle line:84%
These, as your
bricks, the wind that

00:00:56.850 --> 00:00:59.490 align:middle line:84%
rotates the pollen,
the origami swan that

00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:01.710 align:middle line:90%
is swimming by in the gutter.

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:05.500 align:middle line:84%
When I am not haunted
by you, is never."

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:06.000 align:middle line:90%
