    Heart of harmony...
[00:33] ---
    I've experienced a poetic awakening...
[00:36] UK
    Every time I wait for the train to pass,
SIGN    Episode 7 Railroad Crossing Poet
[00:37] ---
    my heart pours out passion
    in the form of poems.
[00:41] ---
    Today, it's to the beat of 5-7-5...
SIGN    Haiku Paper 2 Pieces
[00:44] UK
    I write them down on the
    haiku paper as it comes.
[00:48] UK
    Yes. I am the railroad crossing poet,
    the railroad crossing haiku poet!
[00:54] UK
    It has come!
[00:56] UK/Text
    Oh, railroad crossing.
[00:58] UK/Text
    Oh, my dear railroad crossing.
[00:59] UK/Text
    Oh, railroad crossing.
[01:03] UK
    Deep, so deep!
[01:05] ---
    It doesn't directly sing about love,
    but by simply repeating "railroad crossing"
[01:09] ---
    the author's deep emotions come across.
[01:14] UK/Text
    Oh, well, it's not like
[01:15] UK/Text
    I'm thinking about something meaningful
[01:17] UK/Text
    in particular.
[01:19] UK/Text
    Even something like
    that came out in 5-7-5.
[01:22] ---
    I can't help but revere
    the harmony in my genes.
[01:26] ---
    Well, it's not precisely 5-7-5,
    since the middle 7 had some extra syllables.
[01:31] ---
    I guess if I round it off,
    then it should be okay.
[01:33] ---
    Wait, no. If I do that,
    they'll all round up?
SIGN    5-7-5
SIGN    Rounding Up
[01:36] ---
    If so, it becomes 10-10-10!
SIGN    10-10-10
[01:39] UK
    10-10-10! How original!
[01:43] ---
    Triple cross!
[01:44] ---
    No... Tri-Cross Haiku!
    It's filled with coolness!
[01:49] UK
    If Tri-Cross Haiku becomes a trend,
[01:51] ---
    there'll be a day I'll have a disciple.
[01:54] ---
    I... A disciple!
[01:57] UK
    It has come!
[01:58] UK/Text
    I'm the apostle of Beelzebub,
[02:01] UK/Text
    the mighty holder of the evil eyes.
[02:02] UK/Text
    Bow down before me, you human beings.
[02:05] UK
    Not... intelligent enough.
[02:08] UK
    Since rounding up,
    something doesn't feel right.
[02:11] ---
    Thanks to the Tri-Cross,
    my embarrassing demon has come out.
[02:14] ---
    This is no good. It must be sealed away.
[02:15] ---
    It must not be forgiven.
[02:18] UK
    I must come up with a proper haiku...
[02:19] UK
    Oh, railroad crossing...
[02:22] UK
    Speaking of which, is a railroad
    crossing a good subject for a haiku?
[02:26] ---
    I never hear haiku written
    about railroad crossings.
[02:29] ---
    What's the seasonal word?
[02:30] ---
    Is railroad crossing a seasonal word?
[02:32] UK
    There's no way that's it.
[02:34] ---
    I need to add a seasonal word
    onto railroad crossing,
[02:37] ---
    and come up with a haiku.
[02:41] UK
    Snow!
[02:44] UK/Text
    Oh, railroad crossing.
[02:45] UK/Text
    The white snow slowly piles up.
[02:46] UK/Text
    The train passes by.
[02:48] UK
    Seasonal, very seasonal!
[02:51] ---
    But if the snow is piling up,
    the train might not be in service...
[02:54] UK
    The railroad crossing is no good.
[02:57] ---
    It's not very poetic.
[02:58] ---
    I guess I'll write about love instead.
[03:01] ---
    It's only a youth's poem
    when it's speaking of love.
[03:05] UK/Text
    Railroad crossing.
[03:06] UK/Text
    Love.
[03:07] UK/Text
    Snow.
[03:08] UK
    A haiku using these three...
[03:10] UK
    It's here!
[03:12] UK/Text
    Oh, railroad crossing.
[03:14] UK/Text
    This love cannot be restrained,
[03:15] UK/Text
    as snow slowly falls.
SIGN    Oh, railroad crossing. This love cannot be restrained, as snow slowly falls.
[03:17] UK
    I used "restrained" with railroad crossing. How amazing is this pun...
