00:00:02.810 --> 00:00:08.360 align:middle line:84%
"Succumbed" another Haibun
I am on the threshold

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:12.140 align:middle line:84%
of being authorized to
move a little to the left.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:14.930 align:middle line:84%
All my life has
served as preparation

00:00:14.930 --> 00:00:18.020 align:middle line:84%
for this speck of innocence
to have evaporated

00:00:18.020 --> 00:00:20.300 align:middle line:90%
at my level of awareness.

00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:24.350 align:middle line:84%
Who is watching is the
same as who has watched.

00:00:24.350 --> 00:00:26.840 align:middle line:84%
I have humiliated
my first family

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:29.690 align:middle line:84%
by observing an
obsequious approach.

00:00:29.690 --> 00:00:33.560 align:middle line:84%
I abide by level best
in the imagination.

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.660 align:middle line:90%
I am caught in bought-off fury.

00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:39.470 align:middle line:90%
All my temper leaps when teased.

00:00:39.470 --> 00:00:42.710 align:middle line:84%
Wheelbarrows filled
with higher education

00:00:42.710 --> 00:00:47.300 align:middle line:84%
have been shaped into thin
frames thrust on my walls.

00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:52.370 align:middle line:84%
How will you know me
underneath my leadership.

00:00:52.370 --> 00:00:55.380 align:middle line:84%
Your evidence they
said, your limber-ship

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:58.010 align:middle line:84%
he spoke back to
have a little girl

00:00:58.010 --> 00:01:00.350 align:middle line:84%
and to distinguish
parent from child

00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:05.360 align:middle line:84%
no short art form minus
safety, minus sanctions.

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:08.510 align:middle line:84%
Is it all right if
I leave out crumbs?

00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:15.130 align:middle line:84%
Is poised on a priori
element of breaded thought?

00:01:15.130 --> 00:01:18.460 align:middle line:84%
How I love you How I
learned to have not

00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:21.880 align:middle line:84%
loved myself How
spontaneity informs

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:27.630 align:middle line:84%
new leaves How conceptual How
irrelevant the mere particulars

00:01:27.630 --> 00:01:29.000 align:middle line:90%
