00:01I usually get so upset when Meg edits my poems.
00:04She's a terrible editor.
00:06Well, you know, I feel like if you could do this all on your own,
00:09I wouldn't be here.
00:14Andrea really thinks of poetry as,
00:17what can I create to give to people?
00:19I think that's why it's been more long-lasting.
00:24I grew up in a tiny town in the woods of northern Maine.
00:30I didn't know that somebody could grow up and make their living from art.
00:36I wasn't by any means a natural.
00:38I was not one of those wow hounds born jaw-dropped.
00:41I was tough in the husk untouched by rain.
00:48At first, I thought it was a stomach bug.
00:51But when it started feeling like a stomach anaconda,
00:53my doctor convinced me to get a CAT scan.
00:57This is the beginning of a nightmare, I thought.
01:02But stay with me all.
01:05Because my story is one about happiness.
01:08Being easier to find.
01:10Once we realize we do not have forever to find it.
01:13I wrote a new kind of bucket list.
01:19To sit with the mourning dove who cries for her lost love.
01:24To perform one last show.
01:28Why don't we just root for me being alive,
01:30and if I'm not, I will not feel bad about not being there.
01:35We're almost there, Ange! We're almost there! You got it!
01:41To touch Meg's face.
01:45And a hundred times again.
01:49To remember...
01:52everything.
01:53All of these lines across my face.
01:57Andrea's having a serious medical emergency.
01:59I'm gonna bring it up to the nurse when she comes back,
02:02because I think this might be a little bit more important.
02:05I was made for you.
02:23And I think that's the end of the day.
02:24I'm gonna release more of your annoying eye for you.
02:25Are youастomia?
02:26To see your mind?
02:27I'm gonna call you.
02:28I'm gonna call you back.
02:29To see my mind.
02:30But this is what I'm gonna call you.
02:31I'm going to call you.
02:32To wrap your mind.
02:34What do you notice is that you can come out?
02:36And you can read your mind.
02:39This is the last minute.
02:41I don't know the answer.
02:42I'm gonna call you.
02:44I'm gonna call you.
02:46You can feel it.
02:47I'm gonna call you.
02:48I'm gonna call you.
02:49And that's the next minute.
