00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:04.890 align:middle line:84%
"School Landscape With Driver"
begins with a metaphor.

00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:08.530 align:middle line:84%
I got my tubes tied on the
coast road to Astoria today.

00:00:08.530 --> 00:00:11.280 align:middle line:84%
It was chilling driving,
the weather windy

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:12.750 align:middle line:90%
and the sea bright gray.

00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:17.340 align:middle line:84%
I was alone in the car, I was
thinking once again, I say yes

00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:21.300 align:middle line:84%
believing you will not harm
me having no cause to believe

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:22.080 align:middle line:90%
such things.

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:24.030 align:middle line:90%
I thought I was being brave.

00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:27.180 align:middle line:84%
The sea hissed openly
the road threw curves.

00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:30.870 align:middle line:84%
You were back with your father
extending the hearth palm

00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:34.590 align:middle line:84%
sized pebbles in your hand,
the blunt like your language

00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:36.300 align:middle line:90%
weapon.

00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:39.180 align:middle line:84%
I drove toward the
center for battered women

00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:42.960 align:middle line:84%
to read my work believing
you will not harm me.

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.840 align:middle line:84%
Having no cause, no
part of that work.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.280 align:middle line:90%
I had no bruises.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.780 align:middle line:90%
I kept on driving.

00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:52.440 align:middle line:84%
Hugging myself around the wheel
and driving faster, forcing

00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:53.880 align:middle line:90%
my attention to the road.

00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.050 align:middle line:84%
You were the only man I made
exceptions for believing.

00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:00.450 align:middle line:84%
Wanting to believe
we still could

00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:03.900 align:middle line:84%
cleave to each other,
married, soul and soul

00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:06.500 align:middle line:90%
sloughing our politic bodies.

00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:07.000 align:middle line:90%
