"Freedom in Ohio on my birthday.

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:10.080 align:middle line:84%
I want a future making hammocks
out of figs and accidents,

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.960 align:middle line:90%
or a future quieter than snow.

00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:18.920 align:middle line:84%
The leopards stake out the
backyard and will flee at noon.

00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:24.720 align:middle line:84%
My terror is not secret but
necessary, as the wild must be,

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.080 align:middle line:84%
as sandhill cranes must
tread the meadow yet again.

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:33.080 align:middle line:84%
Thus autumn cautions the
cold, and the wild never

00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:35.200 align:middle line:90%
want to be wild.

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.560 align:middle line:84%
So what to do about the
thrum of my thinking,

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.800 align:middle line:84%
the dangerous
pawing at the door?

00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:45.240 align:middle line:84%
Yesterday has no
harmony with today.

00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.920 align:middle line:84%
I bought a wool blanket,
now shredded in the yard.

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.000 align:middle line:84%
I abided by dwelling,
thought nothing of now.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.560 align:middle line:90%
And now I'm leopard and crane.

00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.630 align:middle line:90%
All's fled."
