00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:06.500 align:middle line:84%
I stopped brooding as soon
as I find the happy picture

00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:07.940 align:middle line:90%
to amuse me.

00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:12.080 align:middle line:84%
Mainly, I find
myself forgetting.

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:18.040 align:middle line:84%
I long for beauty when life
becomes completely unbearable.

00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:22.300 align:middle line:90%
Everyone I know is like me.

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:26.050 align:middle line:84%
It seems we've come
a long way alone

00:00:26.050 --> 00:00:30.370 align:middle line:84%
in sorrow, only
when we are weary.

00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:36.660 align:middle line:84%
And instead, the grave of every
one of us is in Palestine.

00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:42.500 align:middle line:90%


00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:46.820 align:middle line:84%
I never had the house
of my own, nor have I

00:00:46.820 --> 00:00:50.150 align:middle line:90%
ever seized imagining it.

00:00:50.150 --> 00:00:52.850 align:middle line:84%
If I could have my
pick, I point out,

00:00:52.850 --> 00:00:55.280 align:middle line:84%
that's what my house
would look like.

00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.450 align:middle line:84%
"But that's a funeral
home.", she says.

00:00:59.450 --> 00:01:02.390 align:middle line:84%
And it's true, the
kids use bright colors

00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:05.390 align:middle line:84%
to paint motifs of
burial and death

00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:10.190 align:middle line:84%
on the northern facade
of the building.

00:01:10.190 --> 00:01:14.510 align:middle line:84%
And we drive on listlessly,
the wind filling

00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:19.160 align:middle line:84%
plastic bags on the
desolate treetops

00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:25.210 align:middle line:84%
down the whole length
of Rhode Island Avenue.

00:01:25.210 --> 00:01:28.000 align:middle line:90%
