00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:03.690 align:middle line:84%
So I also have some
regular poems in this book.

00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:06.938 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:06.938 --> 00:00:07.870 align:middle line:90%


00:00:07.870 --> 00:00:09.300 align:middle line:90%
But they're also not regular.

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:13.170 align:middle line:84%
So Hannah was talking about
the body and the female body

00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:17.760 align:middle line:84%
and I have some stories,
and I've heard some stories,

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.580 align:middle line:90%
and sort of this persona poem.

00:00:21.580 --> 00:00:24.310 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Coronado."

00:00:24.310 --> 00:00:27.040 align:middle line:84%
"Ask a woman who has had
her nipple bitten off

00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:32.740 align:middle line:84%
if she liked it, if she squirmed
and moaned as suck became cut.

00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:35.380 align:middle line:84%
Tongue became
incisor, all the while

00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:39.250 align:middle line:84%
pressing her belly against
a hard and perfect chest.

00:00:39.250 --> 00:00:43.000 align:middle line:84%
Ask her if she was so drunk
she couldn't feel the slice,

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.990 align:middle line:84%
could only hear him
tell her not to move.

00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:49.270 align:middle line:84%
Ask her if when she
noticed the pain,

00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:54.250 align:middle line:84%
she looked at it hinged
areola dangling, bleeding.

00:00:54.250 --> 00:00:56.590 align:middle line:90%
Ask her what she told him.

00:00:56.590 --> 00:00:58.390 align:middle line:84%
'You bit off my
nipple,' she says.

00:00:58.390 --> 00:01:02.470 align:middle line:84%
'I thought you liked it,
he says, 'so I kept going.'

00:01:02.470 --> 00:01:06.130 align:middle line:84%
Ask if she searches her purse
for a Band-Aid and finds it.

00:01:06.130 --> 00:01:09.760 align:middle line:84%
Ask if she cleans the
wound, realigns the nipple,

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.200 align:middle line:84%
covers it, dresses ever so
carefully in the hotel toilet.

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.830 align:middle line:84%
Ask her if she then goes
to him, sits on his lap,

00:01:17.830 --> 00:01:20.380 align:middle line:90%
tells him to take her home.

00:01:20.380 --> 00:01:24.550 align:middle line:84%
Ask if she hums through the
ride the next evening's meal.

00:01:24.550 --> 00:01:27.610 align:middle line:84%
Ask her if even
after it heals, she

00:01:27.610 --> 00:01:31.840 align:middle line:84%
finds those same white
teeth irresistible."
