i write are you ready
i'm gonna do if your loved points
and the first i'll do
he's a prime
so if you know
there's a kind of crisis in poetry right now
and is related to fevers
whitman has been my i love with me all my life
and there's something about whitman that isn't
i'm getting sick of him
and
so several people predicted in a different way robert haas who was probably the finest critic of his generation
it says that eating as possible and fevers isn't is a bankrupt now
reverse was a form and it's one og like any form this makes us very nervous because we associate free verse with declaration of independence and things this
so
why this terrific reluctant to come near form
ah well because one reason is that we connect form with
discipline imposed on us by others
we associate form with
kings who are unjust to they are wonderful surface
papa
all the propaganda about them middle dangerous conditions but dance and limited idea of form
from the point of view of the sag or is this is form

com is when you
the fact that this mizuki here with it's minor chord could have the same proportions as danced between the speech of the plan
at is called for the whole universe has
the snail shell has from there are no fever snail shell
is terrifying idea
so
the ideas it is it crime is connected out there so i made up a joke i writing and and it occurred to me that are a great time a good poem is like a tiger that it has exactly the right number legs exactly the right and amount of lung capacity for the muscles exactly the right number of vertebrae
therefore it lives century after century
but let i my well just take a print run again
what would one of his longhorns look like it were an animal
i said well it would be an animal about two miles long did this particular the handwritten or four feet and an enormous hammock mile and a half long and it would be eaten by the first line and entered the moors
remember
the climate has been very good for redmond but when we have a dropped
you understand me that the animal was formed lives to various change still
and no way is this to diminish or anything bring bring anything away from bedrooms staggering ability to synthesize with the universe and is great feeling
heaven
but he's our father and you know they are false and our fathers
the
so i'll have another idea that farmers is only really fruitful if the dissenters has already taken place
academic farm his farm in which the person has remained here and has not gone down
so many of us were poisoned in college because we were taught by people who were above and had never descended and form if you have not descended may be dangerous or hostile to him so i'm innocent
just right now ago
damn i've been sneaking up on it
so someone as mean intermission if i would do i think i'll long upon carla form in choosing to ease
and you
this is not in free verse but it's in the remind you not in favors either since it has eighty five syllables and form seems to be connected with and amount of limitations you put on yourself
i'm reminded other people for them
so in this case i'm using the line of to beats and three beats either tributes if he beats and yea still lacking in line and i'll give you this phone i love woman choosing to eat
there's a mentioned here
the weird thing your shame on you this terrific longing for going up it's in our country some people who are nothing but enlightenment you know it
they never seem to want and document
so
the garage nice people are the most insane in that area
they've got a positive light inside oregon and know everyone else in the state is period
the job pistachio
he's a job
but there's a mention of it here in the second line so i

what kind of people are these
some stammer of land
someone nothing but light
know how is your man so in a way for a woman
no ample recklessness
how much i need a woman so
fell in my own needs shoulders and hand
i was born sad
i am a northern goat a winter light up to my knees in snow
standing by you i am glad as the clams at high tide
early contends as the ama's ocean owl

what kind of people are these
the a song whether women today and she said you know one of the problems is is it kind of lack of adventurousness that you sometimes feel in in males and less twenty years
what i mean the read new age and that's it
they know what the truth and is bad
a
i'm not mocking this group at all because there's a lot of complications and
oh no
contradictions ah
what kind of people are these some stamina of land somewhere nothing that life
no house a man zone away for a woman now ample recklessness
how much i need a woman so
fell in my own knees shoulders and hands
i was born sands there's a description of a capricorn i was born sad i'm a northern good a winter light up to my knees in snow
i am glad as the clan of high time
airlie content as the ammons ocean

so i worked without a violin it's a very simple turn their
i have i love you as i stated the window

it's called an assertion
and we have a little said you're inside of us that says oh no you don't know
the only way to have a love for us get the eye out
and then a memo advisor says that i'm most virginia the subject subjective or objective is so i read it to to routes again and she said you know that line is no good as i went about the darkening lives

we have watched for windows from this window
snow falls on the horses slowly eating and on the water tank overturn for winter
the horses bend their necks or divide go to eat

mankind owns for things that are no gonna see redder anchor ours and the fear of going down
as something like ninety nine times against narcissism
have some translate about fifty six numbers since i know this subject well
how can you are a couple of it begins the i you see is not night because you see it it it's an eye because it sees you as another thing ain't gonna run out bike and
actually somebody asked me for a bus poem you know they're putting your poems and best now instead of anymore an advertisement you can go
and i gave this one i think it runs from boston and so people like going home now in boston and look up and it says the i you see is not an eye because you see it is an eye because it sees you

they think of
zone
so what are you saying is answer
had no yes this was his as the more you look at something
the more you do the work of looking in a tree and looking at the world as raonic matter of a does the more you'll see something looking at you i
yeah you see is not eye because you see it is because it she's you
oh christmas
another one hit ninety nine palms and narcissism there's some as an ancient fallen in ogni and going to fault now it's boring falcon
nicer
says them as nature fun and ugly fall now it's a boeing faults on the talk with someone can ask a question first then miss
to talk with someone as get question first then is
and there's really touching in a way because my generation and we asked questions and then read answer them ourselves
but we asked the question now there are many students who don't ask the question
sure they don't get in the conversation to talk with someone a question first and then this
then he has a terrifying idea
this modern notice this device cannot see his face in the mirror because he's become the mirror
pan and if you look back the nineteenth century nurses was end you were vests
go around looking for a plan so we could see his best
but at least he looked into a pan
the contemporary narcissist replace his nature with his consciousness
there's a lot of poetry like that in which there's no nature i mentioned that before guess virginia human consciousness that's it
this modernized instance device cannot see his face in the mirror because somebody
and he's stopped
i'll give you one on his i wanted to give you from we going to sanctioned here
i was reading him somewhere and every time i read in three times now and every time have man or woman has come up and said to me you know i'm not sure any kind of the meal
and finally i i've translated into an argument you
last night as i was leaving
my dream
marvelous error
that is spring or is breaking out inside my heart
a long what secret aqueduct oh watch her are you coming to me water of a new life that i have never done from
last night as i was leaving i dreamt marvelous error that i had a beehive air inside my chest
and the golden beads were making white columns and sweet honey from my own figures
last night as i was sleeping i ran my well as ever
that a fiery son was breaking out inside my heart was fiery because i've helped worms as from a horse and it was some because it gave light and brought tears to my eyes last night as i was sleeping i dreamt marvelous era that it was gone i had here
inside my heart
since we live in the culture in which they told us a machine is a body for five hundred years knows how he apologized said i had this feeling course it isn't true
i just feeling that there was something alive inside me even of course it's wrong we know naturally i just say it is i know it's wrong would understand
gorgeous and he knows socially he's say something wrong he says i dreamed i had a beehive hand side my how to a marvelous area you know i really apologize for having fun
i now we do to forms a roomy and we go to meet him

number one promise idea of say young the
even in the mind of the mindless one
green rises
when the hair and at dusk lifts from the march
even in the mind of the mindless one green rise
when the hair and live from the marsh at dusk
can you feel the to world was needed to get

never really bought into elmo six greatest voice of the surface
you know it's all a matter of opposites as joe campbell says we always one opposite
and women either spiritual or sexual it's clue
they want to know what you are spiritual for sexual
they wonder about solomon and all his wives
in the soul of the world they say in the body of the world they say there's a soul and you are that
but they are but we have ways within each other that will never be said by anyone
this is roomy
they wonder what you are spiritual or you
if they wonder about solomon and all his wives
in the body of the world they say there's is so
that
but we have ways within each other that will never be set by anyone
the clear beat at the center changes everything
there is no edges to my loving now
there between one mind and another they say there's a window between one mind and another but if there's no wall why bother setting the window frame or the land
canadian well as why
the clear abated the santa changes everything
there are no edges to my loving now
they say there's a window and that goes between one mind and another
but if there's no wall
why bother setting the window frame for the left
nicer
right i mean next i had another one a tiny bit longer
ah yes
goes long do it without deposit it goes like this
the the i is here to see things but the song is here for its own joy

the head has one use for loving a true love the feet and chase after
miss j's are not to be solved the i goes blind when it only wants to know why
a lot worse i was accused of something but when he finds as love all that he lost in the looking comes back completely changed
each on the wage of mecca many dangers blowing wind thieves and only camera was melted think
says i know mcdonalds and spiritual life on typically and the way to mecca many dangers themes blowing wind and own a camel's milk to drink
but each lover kisses the blackstone there with pure longing feeling in the surface a touch of the lives she wants
where are these poems piled up these pile up like new coins while the real work is being done outdoors my someone digging in the ground
gorgeous isn't it
notice how he withdraws from the of and and was true he invented the whirling dervishes and he would go through and period where he was doing this you'd write a poem it will come out complete rhyme meter for everything be and his students would write it down and they'd say you wrote a poem he said oh really big deal let's get back
didn't put that much emphasis on his own poems and just what he says at the end these poems pile up like new coins while the real work is being done outdoors by someone digging in the ground last poem are you ready
ah now it's can hide under the side com and then i'll do they will be fun
i mentioned pablo neruda high on a poem for for him
so i should have apologies
i've learned it was a cancer
it's one of the jobs and the canada to go down
into depression down
muslim fight him then you go
he stayed down to seventy five
and if you go so that well this is what is it
if you go through an ad well and stand learn to breathe underwater
then when you come up your winger a water with would you baptize everything in the work
and of his life he began writing order element townies or to simple things out to our wristwatch my my wristwatch lies they are at night and these tiny bits of wheels keep biting into time it gets a black would fall out megamall
audra of haven't killed on the road over to the artichoke great for money or a joke he starts to open it up like there's new gradually get pictures of generals and things like isn't and at the end of each the green card
oh the air occupier fire
a gorgeous here is owed to my socks
the of as woman gave him a pair of parasites because she loved him she like him seeing a pair of socks everything when they were blue with a single gold said coming up well he had worked on his language so long even with such discipline he had brought this language forward to to touch everything he met that even want to pair of socks came towards them ha
who could do it pope couldn't write about in socks
haroon is a much better part than alexander pope
you couldn't write about his belly here either alexander pope kind
neither could melt never mentioned the dust in his belly button this is a serious flaw
i we go oh to my socks
my room i bought me a pair of socks when she knitted herself where their own shape herders and to sucks as soft as rabbit
i slipped my feet into them as though into two cases knitted were fence of twilight and goatskin violent sucks
my feet were to fish made a whole
too long sharks sea blue shop through buy one golden thread to immense cannons
two blackburn's my feet were honored in this way by the his heavenly sucks
they were so handsome that for the first time my feet seem to me unacceptable
like to worn out firearm and firearm and unworthy of that glowing fire of those woven sacks
nevertheless i resisted the mad temptation to save them some way
students can like fireflies has learned men connect sacred texts nine resisted the man impulse to put them into a golden cage and give them each day mercy
and pieces of paint mellon
like the explorers in the jungle to hand over the very rare green dare to the spins and ended with remorse i pulled on the magnificent stocks and then my shoes
now the famous turns the meeting and the moral of my orders this beauty is trying to rebuild a as tries beauty and what is good is doubly good when it is a matter of to socks made of wool in winter
can i ask how they are you notice that every request tonight i just got to to test and right
that's when the audience as soon as they just run the whole thing
they never make muslim
so i thank you are we ready to great national and your business from moving online
yes
where do you do man in black coat
i don't know what to do about this
where do you say shall we start now
they want you to go on
radek
there are the man in the black coat and ruby and then we'll study
i guess i'll leave you anymore
and you're learning
there's a question because sometimes it's it's people can take a differing amounts of poetry depending on how much your stomach and grind up and some people get a full stomach the early on and i don't want to push donors and i don't want to believe that you have to stay here on a plane to me
my enjoying once i get going
so it's a question and now you have to help and i'll have to help some i'll help and after two points this is a problem for men in black and then and then i'll do the remit
time this is a problem came from minnesota
junior are you there
a slow as you know
in minnesota snow comes down from alaska it's for four hundred miles now and then the substituting the house
however since i was a boy i wrote this poem as president
a
and i don't know since we don't have time to read this form again and descending that i read this from first you know
san jose and a woman sent to me who is a man in the bronco i said i have no idea she said that's outrageous you want to harm
when you must have got your high school where i told you you could understand the bar
i am i not only don't know who the man and a black audience i don't know if it's a good idea that he didn't climb the hill
maybe it's about our interior political thing maybe we don't have courage anymore and we're used to
that's why we left the japanese toyota has been over us
or maybe when reagan says we're going to invade el salvador now we will say no we climbed a hill like that not going to do
we don't know what him
i wrote a poem only five or six years ago i don't know when to image means
those gates wage since know that stops suddenly six feet from the house
thoughts that go so far
the boy gets out of high school and image no more books
the zone starts calling home
the mother puts down on a rolling pin and know margaret
and the wines looks at her husband one night at a party and loves him no more
and the energy leaves the wine and the minister falls leading the church it will not come closer and the one inside moves back and the hands that's nothing
then the father grieves for his son mrs lincoln and the father grieves for his son and will not leave the room where the coffin stands he turns away from his wife and she sleeps alone and to see lifts and falls all night
and the moon goes on so the on attached heavens alone
and the tour of the shoe favorites in the dust and the man in the black coat turn and goes back down the hill no one knows why he came or why he turned away and did not play

so before we part let me tell you again how moved and honored i am to be became a new instrument
these communities are infinitely valuable
we're going down this way you know we're not going to spray on his way
but as robinson jeffers said corruption is not compulsory
culture is sinking the charlie's angels and other is thinking very fast
but then we need discrimination isn't a fairy tales said reading a blank range in the way and isn't necessary for you to go with it
it's like if you go with it we won't have anything to pass onto our children and grandeur
so
like very much what you're doing
isabel know by rooming

today like every other day
we wake up empty and scared
today like every other day
we wake up empty and scared
don't open the door to a study and began reading
today like every other day really got empty and scared
the don't have a majority of study and begin reading the
take down a musical instrument
the
hey you goodnight
