[00:31.417]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
