Transcript
00:00I usually get so upset when Megha 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, I wouldn't be here.
00:14Andrea really thinks of poetry as what 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.
00:35I wasn't by any means a natural.
00:38Was not one of those wow hounds born jaw-trucked.
00:41I was tough in the husk untouched by rain.
00:47At first, I thought it was a stomach bug.
00:50But when it started feeling like a stomach anaconda, my doctor convinced me to get a CAT scan.
00:55This is the beginning of a nightmare, I thought.
01:01But stay with me, y'all.
01:04Because my story is one about happiness.
01:07Being 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?
01:31And if I'm not, I will not feel bad about not being there.
01:35We're almost there, Ange.
01:39We're almost there.
01:40You got it.
01:42To touch Meg's face.
01:44And 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 going to bring it up to the nurse when she comes back.
02:02Because I think this might be a little bit more important.
02:04I was made for you.
