Battle your fire to startled birds. Welcome to the Blind By-Pak Kest. I'd like to begin

0:06.4

this week's podcast by reading a poem that was sent to me by Hollywood actor Merrill

0:13.7

Streep and this poem is called Conversation with My Postman. I'd like to give you a hair

0:21.3

cut with my teeth. You can go to a proper barber afterwards and get your hair fixed, but

0:27.7

first just let me bite your hair. I'll start with the fringe, really chowice and

0:35.2

crop your scalp like I'm a big bland gourd. Don't look at me like this.

0:42.3

week. It's near the end of March now. Days are getting longer. Temperatures getting higher.
