The thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole: |
| [00:41.005] |
The morning was distemper grey |
| [00:43.749] |
Of the thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole |
| [00:48.695] |
The man at the bottom was smiling |
| [00:53.644] |
He had just finished his breakfast smiling |
| [00:59.772] |
It hadn't rained or manured for over two hours |
| [01:03.450] |
The man at the top was starving |
| [01:07.262] |
The pole was a horrible looking thing |
| [01:09.950] |
With all of those eyes and ears |
| [01:12.894] |
And waving hands for balance |
| [01:16.093] |
There was no way to get a copter in close |
| [01:19.403] |
So everybody was starving together |
| [01:22.910] |
The man at the top had long ago given up |
| [01:25.893] |
But didn't have nerve enough to climb down |
| [01:30.135] |
At night the pole would talk to itself |
| [01:33.228] |
And the chatter wasn't too good |
| [01:36.374] |
Obviously the pole didn't like itself |
| [01:39.615] |
It wanted to walk! |
| [01:43.338] |
It was the summer and it was hot |
| [01:46.876] |
And balance wouldn't permit a skinning to undergarments |
| [01:51.082] |
It was an integrated pole, it was taking on a reddish-brown cast |
| [01:57.043] |
Exercise on the pole was isometric |
| [02:00.289] |
Kind of a flex and then balance |
| [02:03.622] |
Then the eyes would roll together |
| [02:06.021] |
The ears wiggle, hands balance |
| [02:11.723] |
There was a gurgling and googling heard |
| [02:14.708] |
A tenth of the way up the pole |
| [02:17.584] |
Approaching was a small child |
| [02:20.158] |
With Statue of Liberty doll |
