1
00:00:16,584 --> 00:00:18,779
Come on. Vogue with me, baby.
2
00:00:21,889 --> 00:00:24,289
Look, Geoffrey. We're voguing.
3
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,825
And what is the precise nature
of this nervous disorder?
4
00:00:30,264 --> 00:00:34,291
It's for people that want to look cool
but ain't really got no rhythm.
5
00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:38,098
You should be good at it.
Come on, strike the pose.
6
00:00:38,506 --> 00:00:40,599
Unhand me, you ruffian.
7
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:45,669
Will, please. Don't you have anything
better to do than to annoy Geoffrey?
8
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,905
Yeah, but Carlton ain't home yet.
9
00:00:49,484 --> 00:00:50,746
That's right.
10
00:00:50,818 --> 00:00:53,048
Do you have any idea
what he does after school?
11
00:00:53,121 --> 00:00:55,646
Window-shop at Randy's Short and Small?
12
00:00:57,658 --> 00:01:00,593
Carlton belongs
to three different after-school clubs.
13
00:01:00,928 --> 00:01:03,488
I belong to the home shopping club.
14
00:01:04,699 --> 00:01:05,893
- Hi, honey.
- Hi, love.
15
00:01:05,967 --> 00:01:09,027
- How was your day?
- Fine, until I ran into the man of leisure.
16
00:01:09,103 --> 00:01:12,038
Will doesn't think he needs
any after-school activities.
17
00:01:12,106 --> 00:01:16,543
If you sit around the house all afternoon
and never develop any outside interests...
18
00:01:16,611 --> 00:01:19,273
you'll become a very, very shallow person.
19
00:01:20,715 --> 00:01:23,912
And you won't get into any
of the good nightclubs.
20
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:26,682
I'll never meet Lisa Bonet.
21
00:01:28,322 --> 00:01:29,550
That's right.
22
00:01:31,626 --> 00:01:34,561
You have so many talents.
Why not join an after-school club?
23
00:01:34,629 --> 00:01:36,529
Aunt Viv, I ain't really down...
24
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:39,657
with staying at an
all-boys school after dark.
25
00:01:41,636 --> 00:01:45,470
All right, then.
I think you should get an after-school job.
26
00:01:52,647 --> 00:01:54,740
Bring on the clubs.
27
00:03:05,621 --> 00:03:10,058
It's officially after school.
Go find the club of your choice.
28
00:03:10,793 --> 00:03:15,662
If I had the club of my choice,
you'd be lying on the floor unconscious.
29
00:03:17,867 --> 00:03:19,425
A girl?
30
00:03:19,502 --> 00:03:21,527
Where did that come from?
31
00:03:21,737 --> 00:03:22,761
Didn't you know?
32
00:03:22,838 --> 00:03:26,968
We share our extra-curricular activities
with the girls from our sister school.
33
00:03:27,042 --> 00:03:31,308
Lead me to the sisters.
I'm ready to get extracurricular.
34
00:03:54,737 --> 00:03:56,705
Yo, Will. Slap me 10.
35
00:03:58,474 --> 00:04:01,170
You know, I finally rented
the movie Glory last night.
36
00:04:01,243 --> 00:04:03,803
Denzel was incredible.
37
00:04:04,313 --> 00:04:08,511
The South, man. I don't know.
We got to do something about it.
38
00:04:10,286 --> 00:04:13,517
- What's up, Mr. Fellows?
- Call me Ned.
39
00:04:14,156 --> 00:04:16,647
You need another member
of this poetry club?
40
00:04:16,725 --> 00:04:18,818
Will, solid.
41
00:04:19,829 --> 00:04:21,126
We could really use...
42
00:04:21,197 --> 00:04:24,098
a representative
of the Black male urban experience.
43
00:04:24,667 --> 00:04:28,626
More specifically, the handsome
Black male urban experience.
44
00:04:28,704 --> 00:04:32,663
Everyone, the meeting's about to begin.
Will you please take your seats?
45
00:04:34,910 --> 00:04:36,275
I'd like to open this meeting...
46
00:04:36,345 --> 00:04:39,746
with a reading from the poem Daddy
by Sylvia Plath.
47
00:04:40,683 --> 00:04:41,775
Daddy.
48
00:04:41,851 --> 00:04:44,479
"Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You
49
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,688
"Every woman adores a Fascist
50
00:04:46,956 --> 00:04:48,321
"The boot in the face, the brute
51
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:51,257
"Brute heart of a brute like you"
52
00:04:53,662 --> 00:04:56,927
Sylvia Plath killed herself
shortly after writing this poem.
53
00:04:56,999 --> 00:04:59,559
If she didn't, her daddy would have.
54
00:05:00,135 --> 00:05:01,534
Who are you?
55
00:05:02,371 --> 00:05:06,933
This is my main man Will Smith,
newest member of our poetry club.
56
00:05:07,243 --> 00:05:10,701
Will, Christina Johnson.
And we are so glad to have you.
57
00:05:10,779 --> 00:05:13,441
It's such a thrill to see a man
from Bel-Air Academy...
58
00:05:13,516 --> 00:05:16,417
not afraid to share our love of poetry.
59
00:05:17,253 --> 00:05:20,086
Thanks, Christina.
Yo, on with the love sharing.
60
00:05:21,156 --> 00:05:23,522
You can start by reading a poem for us.
61
00:05:24,159 --> 00:05:27,128
- I didn't bring one.
- What a shame.
62
00:05:27,229 --> 00:05:30,289
There's nothing that moves me
more than hearing a poem recited...
63
00:05:30,366 --> 00:05:34,393
in a deep, sensual, masculine voice.
64
00:05:34,703 --> 00:05:36,193
I got a poem.
65
00:05:39,742 --> 00:05:43,200
- Who's it by?
- He's a street poet.
66
00:05:43,312 --> 00:05:46,110
He's a friend of mine. His name is...
67
00:05:47,049 --> 00:05:50,712
Raphael de la Ghetto.
68
00:05:52,521 --> 00:05:55,922
Raphael de la Ghetto.
I don't think I've ever heard of him.
69
00:05:55,991 --> 00:05:57,185
I have.
70
00:05:59,094 --> 00:06:00,755
You have?
71
00:06:01,697 --> 00:06:03,665
I stay pretty current, bro.
72
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:07,965
Isn't he one of those street poets
from south central LA?
73
00:06:08,103 --> 00:06:10,162
Yeah. Same guy.
74
00:06:11,140 --> 00:06:12,835
Will, the floor's yours.
75
00:06:12,942 --> 00:06:15,809
Floor's yours.
You're a poet and you don't know it.
76
00:06:15,086 --> 00:06:19,022
All right. Ladies, my poem is called...
77
00:06:23,795 --> 00:06:25,422
Tick Tock Clock...
78
00:06:26,731 --> 00:06:28,426
by Raphael de la Ghetto.
79
00:06:31,069 --> 00:06:33,663
"Tick tock clock
80
00:06:34,973 --> 00:06:37,441
"The clock is ticking for you
81
00:06:40,111 --> 00:06:42,375
"'Cause the love you said you'd give
82
00:06:42,447 --> 00:06:44,813
"Came up way past due
83
00:06:51,289 --> 00:06:53,416
"So dance to the clock rock
84
00:06:54,692 --> 00:06:57,160
"Stay on the floor
85
00:06:57,295 --> 00:07:00,287
"'Cause when the ticks turn to tocks
86
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,664
"I'll be knocking at your door"
87
00:07:13,152 --> 00:07:17,384
Listen, everybody, let's take a break
while I go fire up the cappuccino maker.
88
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:19,958
That poem was brilliant.
89
00:07:20,025 --> 00:07:22,823
De la Ghetto uses a lot of metaphor.
90
00:07:22,995 --> 00:07:26,396
No, baby, he used to. He went
to the clinic. He's straight now.
91
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:30,869
I'd love to hear more
of de la Ghetto's poems.
92
00:07:30,969 --> 00:07:35,531
As a woman, I find his work
so passionate, so raw...
93
00:07:35,674 --> 00:07:37,369
so exciting.
94
00:07:37,442 --> 00:07:40,070
When I hear those words
my body just quivers...
95
00:07:40,145 --> 00:07:42,613
crying out for more.
96
00:07:45,717 --> 00:07:46,843
Poetry is good.
97
00:07:52,624 --> 00:07:55,252
"Love by Raphael de la Ghetto."
98
00:07:59,431 --> 00:08:03,424
"Burnin' Love by Raphael de la Ghetto."
99
00:08:04,903 --> 00:08:08,737
Master William,
Mr. Jazz is here to see you.
100
00:08:11,677 --> 00:08:13,611
Yo, what up, J?
101
00:08:14,279 --> 00:08:17,248
What's up, man,
I got this new Ice Cube tape. It's dope!
102
00:08:17,382 --> 00:08:21,182
I ain't got enough time for that.
I got to finish writing this poem.
103
00:08:22,187 --> 00:08:26,647
Poem? Then what you going to do,
bake some cookies?
104
00:08:27,025 --> 00:08:28,424
Hem a dress?
105
00:08:29,194 --> 00:08:32,994
Shut up. I'm doing it to get this girl.
106
00:08:33,065 --> 00:08:36,933
Listen to what I got so far.
I just need one last line.
107
00:08:38,670 --> 00:08:41,571
"My love for you is like a river
108
00:08:42,941 --> 00:08:46,502
"Like a summer breeze
That makes my soul shiver
109
00:08:47,546 --> 00:08:51,141
"One look from you
Is more precious than gold"
110
00:08:52,551 --> 00:08:54,985
Let's go get some barbecue and get busy.
111
00:08:56,989 --> 00:08:58,684
What kind of line is that?
112
00:08:58,790 --> 00:09:00,314
It always works for me.
113
00:09:01,860 --> 00:09:04,658
I hear someone in this room likes poetry.
114
00:09:04,730 --> 00:09:06,857
Try this one on for size.
115
00:09:07,165 --> 00:09:09,531
"Roses are red
Violets are blue
116
00:09:09,601 --> 00:09:12,297
"Pansies are poets
Will, tell me it isn't true"
117
00:09:13,105 --> 00:09:14,129
That's funny.
118
00:09:14,206 --> 00:09:17,141
I got a poem for you, Carl.
Try this one on for size.
119
00:09:17,276 --> 00:09:19,870
"Roses are red
Violets are blue
120
00:09:19,945 --> 00:09:22,641
"Jazz and I are Black,
But Carlton, what are you?"
121
00:09:31,690 --> 00:09:33,248
Master William...
122
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,891
I applaud your new interest.
123
00:09:37,429 --> 00:09:39,829
Poetry is one of my great loves.
124
00:09:39,898 --> 00:09:41,195
I won first prize...
125
00:09:41,266 --> 00:09:44,724
at the old Devonshire
poetry recital of 1963.
126
00:09:45,304 --> 00:09:47,238
You should have been there.
127
00:09:47,439 --> 00:09:51,205
The crowd rose to its feet
shouting, "Encore!"
128
00:09:52,244 --> 00:09:53,268
That's interesting...
129
00:09:53,345 --> 00:09:55,336
"Cannon to the right of them
130
00:09:55,414 --> 00:09:57,439
"Cannon to the left of them
131
00:09:57,516 --> 00:09:59,643
"Cannon in front of them
132
00:09:59,718 --> 00:10:02,687
"Volleyed and thundered"
133
00:10:02,754 --> 00:10:04,654
You need a last line for that?
134
00:10:06,224 --> 00:10:08,522
- Good evening.
- Good evening, sir.
135
00:10:08,727 --> 00:10:11,628
So, young man,
how'd it go at school today?
136
00:10:11,930 --> 00:10:14,558
- I joined the poetry club.
- Excellent.
137
00:10:14,766 --> 00:10:17,564
I remember
when I got interested in poetry.
138
00:10:17,636 --> 00:10:19,194
So who's the girl?
139
00:10:20,305 --> 00:10:22,500
I'm starving. When do we eat here?
140
00:10:22,574 --> 00:10:24,166
We eat here later.
141
00:10:24,242 --> 00:10:25,732
You eat here never.
142
00:10:27,179 --> 00:10:29,477
Looks like you eat here often.
143
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:39,750
Miss Christina Johnson.
144
00:10:41,596 --> 00:10:44,827
This is my Aunt Viv
and this is my cousin Ashley.
145
00:10:44,899 --> 00:10:46,890
- Nice to meet you.
- You, too.
146
00:10:46,968 --> 00:10:49,232
You'll have to excuse us.
147
00:10:49,404 --> 00:10:52,100
Will, I've got a poem.
148
00:10:52,340 --> 00:10:55,707
- "Will and Christina sitting in a tree..."
- Beat it.
149
00:10:58,046 --> 00:10:59,911
They seem really nice.
150
00:11:00,215 --> 00:11:02,080
Yeah. They mean well.
151
00:11:02,350 --> 00:11:05,808
But the only people
I'm really comfortable with are my friends.
152
00:11:06,387 --> 00:11:07,877
The dead poets.
153
00:11:10,792 --> 00:11:12,623
- Care to sit?
- Thanks.
154
00:11:13,595 --> 00:11:16,962
You know, I can't get de la Ghetto's poem
off my mind.
155
00:11:17,298 --> 00:11:19,027
He is a genius, isn't he?
156
00:11:20,168 --> 00:11:22,432
Do you really, really know him?
157
00:11:23,471 --> 00:11:25,405
Yeah. We're like brothers.
158
00:11:26,274 --> 00:11:28,333
Tell me. What's he like?
159
00:11:29,077 --> 00:11:31,136
He's a kind of a strange guy.
160
00:11:31,212 --> 00:11:35,239
His girl left him back in the '60s
and he never changed his clothes.
161
00:11:35,416 --> 00:11:38,852
Wears the same old dashiki
and monster afro.
162
00:11:40,054 --> 00:11:43,922
- That's such a sad story.
- I know.
163
00:11:44,492 --> 00:11:46,960
When I think about poor Raphael...
164
00:11:47,128 --> 00:11:51,394
it makes me wonder if a woman
could ever really care about a man.
165
00:11:59,274 --> 00:12:02,300
I'm glad you know him so well,
because I have a favor to ask you.
166
00:12:02,410 --> 00:12:03,536
Anything.
167
00:12:03,611 --> 00:12:05,875
Could you bring Raphael to poetry night?
168
00:12:05,947 --> 00:12:09,280
- Excuse me?
- We have it at school once a month.
169
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:11,944
Usually club members get up
and recite their poetry.
170
00:12:12,020 --> 00:12:13,510
I'm in charge of it this month...
171
00:12:13,588 --> 00:12:16,716
and I thought, "Wouldn't it be great
if we had a real poet?"
172
00:12:17,492 --> 00:12:21,451
I don't know.
Raphael doesn't like to leave the house.
173
00:12:21,529 --> 00:12:24,862
You wouldn't either if you had
the same dashiki on for 20 years.
174
00:12:24,932 --> 00:12:28,368
Could you just ask him, Will?
I'd be so grateful.
175
00:12:28,970 --> 00:12:33,907
- I could ask him, but I'm sure he'll say no.
- Please try, Will.
176
00:12:33,975 --> 00:12:36,136
It would mean so much to me.
177
00:12:56,802 --> 00:12:59,930
- I'm glad you're here.
- You sounded kind of clutch on the phone.
178
00:13:17,189 --> 00:13:18,816
Yes, Jazz.
179
00:13:19,725 --> 00:13:22,353
That'll cost you two extra Jacksons,
but I know a guy.
180
00:13:22,428 --> 00:13:25,158
He's a sidewalk jewelry salesman
so he has free nights.
181
00:13:25,231 --> 00:13:29,258
But he'll need $60 cash in advance.
182
00:13:30,670 --> 00:13:34,265
- $60? Are you tripping? All I got is $20.
- He'll take it.
183
00:13:36,542 --> 00:13:38,737
Here's an extra $10. Get me a Rolex.
184
00:13:40,980 --> 00:13:43,141
I just can't believe it.
185
00:13:43,215 --> 00:13:46,150
Raphael de la Ghetto at Bel-Air Academy.
186
00:13:46,218 --> 00:13:48,778
Yes. I'm looking forward
to seeing him again.
187
00:13:50,189 --> 00:13:52,282
Will, is Raphael here yet?
188
00:13:52,358 --> 00:13:55,156
No. He'll probably be a little late.
189
00:13:55,227 --> 00:13:57,627
He likes his audience to be a little hostile.
190
00:13:57,697 --> 00:13:59,460
It's okay if he's running a little late.
191
00:13:59,532 --> 00:14:02,695
I just wrote a new poem
and I'm anxious to share it.
192
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:06,904
Will, this is our night.
193
00:14:07,006 --> 00:14:09,031
Bringing Raphael de la Ghetto
here tonight...
194
00:14:09,108 --> 00:14:11,906
is the most exciting thing
that's ever happened to me.
195
00:14:11,978 --> 00:14:14,469
I'm feeling really close to you right now.
196
00:14:16,182 --> 00:14:18,116
I don't know how to thank you.
197
00:14:18,184 --> 00:14:20,584
You don't have to thank me.
198
00:14:20,653 --> 00:14:24,783
But, Will, I want to after the reading.
199
00:14:29,161 --> 00:14:31,322
Will's gonna get thanked!
200
00:14:33,833 --> 00:14:35,300
What are you guys doing here?
201
00:14:35,368 --> 00:14:37,427
It's after dark, Master William.
202
00:14:37,503 --> 00:14:39,994
I thought it wise
to drive the young ladies...
203
00:14:40,072 --> 00:14:42,302
to ensure that they arrived safely.
204
00:14:42,708 --> 00:14:45,040
Are there any women my age here?
205
00:14:47,346 --> 00:14:49,746
- But why did you two come?
- Are you kidding?
206
00:14:49,815 --> 00:14:52,409
We heard the buzz
about this event on Melrose.
207
00:14:52,485 --> 00:14:56,546
I cannot believe your dinky, little school
got Raphael de la Ghetto to come.
208
00:14:57,723 --> 00:14:59,987
Why didn't you tell me
it was poetry night?
209
00:15:00,059 --> 00:15:02,721
You know
what a great lover of literature I am.
210
00:15:02,795 --> 00:15:04,888
I've never seen you read nothing.
211
00:15:05,631 --> 00:15:09,067
That's right. I suppose I just get
my horoscope out of the air.
212
00:15:13,739 --> 00:15:16,264
Jazz, where is the poet?
213
00:15:16,342 --> 00:15:18,276
Locked up in the steel hotel.
214
00:15:18,344 --> 00:15:20,505
Cops caught him
with a fistful of toy Rolexes.
215
00:15:20,579 --> 00:15:22,376
Yo, let's get out of here.
216
00:15:22,715 --> 00:15:24,580
Jazz, I can't go.
217
00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:26,675
After this, I'm getting thanked.
218
00:15:27,820 --> 00:15:29,685
Ode to Judy.
219
00:15:30,356 --> 00:15:33,052
"Unfinished Sunday Times puzzle
220
00:15:33,125 --> 00:15:36,219
"Lying limp on the hardwood floor
221
00:15:36,295 --> 00:15:39,025
"The society page spread open
222

"Prominent for what?

00:15:48,107 --> 00:15:50,302
"I'd very much like to know"
227
00:15:51,510 --> 00:15:53,034
We better go.
228
00:15:53,112 --> 00:15:56,411
This crowd will get ugly
if they got to listen to much more of that.
229
00:15:59,085 --> 00:16:01,144
The audience is growing restless.
230
00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:03,586
Where is this de la Ghetto fellow?
231
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:07,258
I really stepped in it this time.
232
00:16:07,326 --> 00:16:08,793
I don't know what I'm going to do.
233
00:16:08,861 --> 00:16:10,158
What's wrong?
234
00:16:10,229 --> 00:16:14,097
There is no Raphael de la Ghetto.
I made him up.
235
00:16:14,166 --> 00:16:16,327
I just wanted to impress Christina.
236
00:16:16,402 --> 00:16:20,532
I even had Jazz hire a phony poet to come
tonight, but the dude didn't show up.
237
00:16:20,873 --> 00:16:23,068
There was extenuating circumstances.
238
00:16:24,543 --> 00:16:28,639
I don't know what I'm gonna do, G.
Christina is a very, very nice girl.
239
00:16:28,714 --> 00:16:32,616
If she finds out I lied to her,
she may never even speak to me again.
240
00:16:34,053 --> 00:16:38,922
Everyone, I'm sorry for the delay
but the big moment has finally come.
241
00:16:38,991 --> 00:16:39,980
I'd like to present...
242
00:16:40,059 --> 00:16:42,152
the man responsible
for this evening's event...
243
00:16:42,228 --> 00:16:43,855
Mr. Will Smith.
244
00:16:51,370 --> 00:16:54,430
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Raphael de la Ghetto.
245
00:17:16,428 --> 00:17:17,918
"Listen
246
00:17:17,997 --> 00:17:20,363
"To the street beat
247
00:17:20,432 --> 00:17:22,627
"Hear the sound pound
248
00:17:22,935 --> 00:17:24,766
"Plug your ears
249
00:17:24,837 --> 00:17:26,737
"Mask your fears
250
00:17:26,805 --> 00:17:29,239
"Something weird's going down
251
00:17:30,276 --> 00:17:32,972
"So listen to the street beat
252
00:17:33,245 --> 00:17:36,112
"Listen to the box shock
253
00:17:37,516 --> 00:17:39,643
"Listen, or I'll kill you"
254
00:17:49,862 --> 00:17:52,330
That was heavy, man.
Let's have another one.
255
00:17:52,398 --> 00:17:53,763
Encore.
256
00:17:57,002 --> 00:17:59,436
"Cannon to the right of them
257
00:17:59,505 --> 00:18:02,235
"Cannon to the left of them
258
00:18:02,641 --> 00:18:04,271
"Cannon in front of them
259
00:18:04,344 --> 00:18:06,135
"Volleyed and thundered"
260
00:18:06,147 --> 00:18:08,075
- Hilary, isn't that your butler?
- Yeah.
261
00:18:09,617 --> 00:18:12,085
It's a good look for him.
262
00:18:12,954 --> 00:18:15,218
"Came through the jaws of Death"
263
00:18:17,158 --> 00:18:18,853
Silence, you ungrateful children.
264
00:18:18,926 --> 00:18:22,089
When you're ready to be quiet and listen,
I shall return.
265
00:18:23,798 --> 00:18:25,129
That was your butler.
266
00:18:25,199 --> 00:18:26,962
Look, baby, let me explain.
267
00:18:27,034 --> 00:18:29,434
You don't even know de la Ghetto.
268
00:18:29,503 --> 00:18:31,994
I can't believe anything you've said to me.
269
00:18:32,306 --> 00:18:33,796
You're nothing but a liar.
270
00:18:33,874 --> 00:18:36,069
My man Will ain't no liar.
271
00:18:36,143 --> 00:18:37,303
Who are you?
272
00:18:37,511 --> 00:18:40,446
I am Raphael de la Ghetto.
273
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,648
Where's your afro?
And where's your dashiki?
274
00:18:49,724 --> 00:18:51,817
I worked all that out in therapy.
275
00:18:53,594 --> 00:18:56,222
I don't know who to believe anymore.
276
00:18:57,231 --> 00:18:59,722
How do I know
you're the real Raphael de la Ghetto?
277
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,131
Listen.
278
00:19:04,605 --> 00:19:07,972
"My love for you is like a river
279
00:19:08,909 --> 00:19:12,310
"Like a summer breeze
That makes my soul shiver
280
00:19:13,681 --> 00:19:16,878
"One look from you
Is more precious than gold
281
00:19:17,852 --> 00:19:20,753
"Let's go get some barbecue
And get busy"
282
00:19:28,829 --> 00:19:30,319
Tell me more.
283
00:19:32,533 --> 00:19:34,125
Works every time.
284
00:19:42,843 --> 00:19:44,970
"Cannon to the left of them
285
00:19:45,046 --> 00:19:47,173
"Cannon to the right of them"
286
00:19:49,250 --> 00:19:51,377
I'm sorry I missed that.
287
00:19:51,819 --> 00:19:53,980
So Jazz went out with Christina.
288
00:19:54,055 --> 00:19:55,750
That's cool, though, baby.
289
00:19:55,823 --> 00:19:58,792
I'm a poet,
and it's a lot more ink in this pen.
290
00:20:00,027 --> 00:20:02,222
I think you have a talent for poetry.
291
00:20:02,296 --> 00:20:04,764
I was just playing around with that stuff.
292
00:20:04,865 --> 00:20:07,629
But the poem that you wrote
got a standing ovation.
293
00:20:07,702 --> 00:20:10,330
That's right, and it got me a date.
294
00:20:11,439 --> 00:20:13,168
The other one you wrote got Jazz a date.
295
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,175
The one I got out of your wastebasket
got me a date.
296
00:20:18,379 --> 00:20:21,371
Mommy, I'd like to hear a poem.
Could you read us one?
297
00:20:21,515 --> 00:20:22,812
Okay.
298
00:20:22,883 --> 00:20:26,182
This is a poem
that your father and I especially love.
299
00:20:26,454 --> 00:20:28,922
It's by Amiri Baraka.
300
00:20:28,989 --> 00:20:32,083
It's called
Three Modes of History and Culture.
301
00:20:34,628 --> 00:20:36,425
"I think about a time
302
00:20:36,497 --> 00:20:38,465
"When I will be relaxed
303
00:20:38,733 --> 00:20:41,133
"When flames and nonspecific passion

00:20:41,202 --> 00:20:43,033
"Wear themselves away

00:20:43,137 --> 00:20:46,834
"And my eyes and hands

00:20:46,907 --> 00:20:48,374
"And soften

00:20:48,476 --> 00:20:51,172
"And the songs will be softer

00:20:51,245 --> 00:20:53,270
"And weight the air"
