00:00:00.590 --> 00:00:03.420 align:middle line:84%
So this one has a
little funny story.

00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:04.867 align:middle line:90%
This poem here was published.

00:00:04.867 --> 00:00:05.700 align:middle line:90%
It's in the exhibit.

00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:07.850 align:middle line:84%
It was published by
Anne Boyer, who's

00:00:07.850 --> 00:00:11.750 align:middle line:84%
a lovely human being in the New
York Times which is very fancy.

00:00:11.750 --> 00:00:14.190 align:middle line:90%
And whatever.

00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:15.770 align:middle line:90%
They're overrated.

00:00:15.770 --> 00:00:19.770 align:middle line:84%
And they lie a lot
about war in particular.

00:00:19.770 --> 00:00:20.390 align:middle line:90%
Hawk.

00:00:20.390 --> 00:00:21.560 align:middle line:90%
Beautiful.

00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:25.430 align:middle line:84%
Anyway, Anne says, I'm sorry
people are trashing you

00:00:25.430 --> 00:00:26.430 align:middle line:90%
online about your poem.

00:00:26.430 --> 00:00:28.430 align:middle line:90%
It's like, oh, let me see.

00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:30.470 align:middle line:84%
And there are these,
like, crabby old men

00:00:30.470 --> 00:00:32.762 align:middle line:84%
on there being like, you
don't know how to write poems.

00:00:32.762 --> 00:00:36.260 align:middle line:84%
And they start rewriting my
poem in the comment stream.

00:00:36.260 --> 00:00:37.040 align:middle line:90%
Unbelievable.

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:38.910 align:middle line:90%
Gaping anuses everywhere.

00:00:38.910 --> 00:00:40.230 align:middle line:90%
So I would comment.

00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:43.520 align:middle line:90%
I would say, thank you, daddy.

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.470 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, daddy.

00:00:45.470 --> 00:00:46.920 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, daddy.

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.146 align:middle line:90%
Your poor wife.

00:00:49.146 --> 00:00:52.160 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:56.278 align:middle line:84%
You got to get 'em
to shut up somehow.

00:00:56.278 --> 00:01:00.510 align:middle line:84%
"We stopped studying the
night sky for directions.

00:01:00.510 --> 00:01:03.640 align:middle line:84%
If someone said we made it
up, planet Earth isn't real,

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.190 align:middle line:90%
we would try to verify.

00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:07.660 align:middle line:90%
Try to be sure.

00:01:07.660 --> 00:01:12.760 align:middle line:84%
Critics are the evidence
we do not trust ourselves.

00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.860 align:middle line:84%
Your imagination is
asking for parole.

00:01:15.860 --> 00:01:18.250 align:middle line:90%
What is your verdict, warden?

00:01:18.250 --> 00:01:22.910 align:middle line:84%
Trying to always remember
the calendar made of light

00:01:22.910 --> 00:01:26.820 align:middle line:84%
our ancestors followed
to pass the year."
