00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:06.550 align:middle line:90%
I forgot to start the time.

00:00:06.550 --> 00:00:07.300 align:middle line:90%
How do you say it?

00:00:07.300 --> 00:00:09.120 align:middle line:90%
Countdown?

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.800 align:middle line:84%
So please, Tyler, signal me
when it's 40 minutes ago.

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:17.420 align:middle line:90%
Poetry manifesto.

00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:20.400 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:23.320 align:middle line:90%
Poems come in different kinds.

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:29.480 align:middle line:84%
They may be tall or not
really, women or not really.

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:30.860 align:middle line:90%
Poems grow too.

00:00:30.860 --> 00:00:33.080 align:middle line:90%
But they do not need watered.

00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:34.600 align:middle line:90%
They are not trees.

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.880 align:middle line:90%
And you are not water.

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:42.200 align:middle line:84%
For a poem to grow, he or
she needs to be cradled.

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.680 align:middle line:84%
You may encounter a poem
missing a leg or an arm.

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:48.960 align:middle line:90%
But that's no need to be sad.

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.280 align:middle line:84%
They can regrow them, like
lizards who lose their tails

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.320 align:middle line:90%
and find them again.

00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.560 align:middle line:84%
Some poems, though,
never grow wings.

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.240 align:middle line:84%
Or they grow them,
then lose them.

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.600 align:middle line:84%
Maybe their bodies lack
calcium or something.

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.480 align:middle line:84%
But we are getting
ahead of ourselves.

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.040 align:middle line:90%
First, the poem must be caught.

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:18.760 align:middle line:84%
Poems, they scatter, play hide
and seek, disguise themselves

00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.610 align:middle line:90%
as prose, and all of that.

00:01:21.610 --> 00:01:25.250 align:middle line:84%
It is therefore
best to use a net.

00:01:25.250 --> 00:01:27.870 align:middle line:84%
They themselves will
only cling onto you

00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:31.050 align:middle line:84%
if you are running
or driving somewhere.

00:01:31.050 --> 00:01:33.530 align:middle line:84%
They will settle with
the wind on hair,

00:01:33.530 --> 00:01:38.090 align:middle line:84%
on cheeks, will rest there
as if on a windscreen.

00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:41.530 align:middle line:84%
Then you can simply go
ahead and write them down.

00:01:41.530 --> 00:01:45.290 align:middle line:84%
Capture when stationary
is more difficult.

00:01:45.290 --> 00:01:48.770 align:middle line:90%
For this, a bait is required.

00:01:48.770 --> 00:01:52.810 align:middle line:84%
Predatory poems will
appreciate a drop of blood.

00:01:52.810 --> 00:01:56.930 align:middle line:84%
For the more sweet toothed,
a thin stream of honey

00:01:56.930 --> 00:02:01.370 align:middle line:84%
will do, falling from the
spoon back into the jar.

00:02:01.370 --> 00:02:06.130 align:middle line:84%
And then their corpses, if
enough have been gathered

00:02:06.130 --> 00:02:08.729 align:middle line:84%
and there isn't
space to store them,

00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:12.270 align:middle line:84%
can be nailed to paper
pages published as a book.

00:02:12.270 --> 00:02:15.970 align:middle line:84%
And thus, you will
have your own cemetery.

00:02:15.970 --> 00:02:17.970 align:middle line:84%
There are, however,
further approaches

00:02:17.970 --> 00:02:20.490 align:middle line:84%
and more thorough
classifications according

00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:22.410 align:middle line:90%
to which poems are people.

00:02:22.410 --> 00:02:26.650 align:middle line:84%
Overly close contact may result
in orgasmic or schizophrenic

00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:27.430 align:middle line:90%
states.

00:02:27.430 --> 00:02:38.090 align:middle line:90%


00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:40.500 align:middle line:90%
It's a very old poem.

00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:41.000 align:middle line:90%
