00:00:02.840 --> 00:00:10.250 align:middle line:84%
My friend and I are in
love with the same woman.

00:00:10.250 --> 00:00:14.270 align:middle line:84%
I sat awake in bed
all night last night

00:00:14.270 --> 00:00:19.670 align:middle line:84%
and read out loud to them while
they lay couched among pillows

00:00:19.670 --> 00:00:25.330 align:middle line:90%
on the floor, she in his arms.

00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:30.790 align:middle line:84%
She hummed softly as
I read, and my words

00:00:30.790 --> 00:00:37.300 align:middle line:84%
became many small boats
rocking on the tiny pulses

00:00:37.300 --> 00:00:40.320 align:middle line:90%
of her voice.

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.700 align:middle line:84%
Just before dawn,
she kissed us both.

00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:48.810 align:middle line:84%
And they went to
their separate rooms,

00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:55.350 align:middle line:84%
leaving me rising and falling on
the surges and ebbs of a deeper

00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:57.840 align:middle line:90%
blue.

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.020 align:middle line:90%
She returned just after dawn.

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:05.436 align:middle line:90%
"Read some more," she said.

00:01:05.436 --> 00:01:09.600 align:middle line:90%
"Only if you sing," I bargained.

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.210 align:middle line:90%
"I will," she said.

00:01:12.210 --> 00:01:15.480 align:middle line:90%
"I will," I answered.

00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:22.920 align:middle line:84%
"I will," we said
together over and over.

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.520 align:middle line:84%
There are five people
it's useless to talk

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:32.940 align:middle line:84%
to when you and your friend are
in love with the same woman--

00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:41.250 align:middle line:84%
your mother, your father, your
doctor, your lawyer, your guru.

00:01:41.250 --> 00:01:43.100 align:middle line:90%
