00:00I was born on the ocean in a gigantic boat, big fucking boat.
00:04My parents were fishermen, both were great long-distance runners.
00:08I was read to as a child, mostly books about survival and contortion.
00:14I drank off the teats of caribou, scrumptious, tasted like jasmine and cupcakes.
00:19Because I remember cleaning my teeth.
00:21I lived through several wars, they were never fun.
00:24Why? Because I was shot at, but I fucking returned fire.
00:27I wrote letters to loved ones, I memorized winter high school.
00:30I prayed things to myself, counted the lily pads, stared in the mirror.
00:33I did what I had to do to keep going.
00:38Damn, I was good.
00:39I made sandwiches. I played the dance.
00:41It was hot, it was dry, it was raining, it was not.
00:44I was doing all things here in the nature.
00:47That's great poetry.
