00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.050 align:middle line:90%
"Indio."

00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:03.840 align:middle line:84%
Indio is a town
perhaps most of you

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.193 align:middle line:84%
have driven through on
the way to Los Angeles,

00:00:07.193 --> 00:00:08.610 align:middle line:84%
somewhere out there
in the desert.

00:00:08.610 --> 00:00:13.030 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.030 --> 00:00:13.660 align:middle line:90%
"Indio."

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:18.490 align:middle line:84%
Naked boy you lie stretched
among the withered palms,

00:00:18.490 --> 00:00:23.410 align:middle line:84%
tangled in scrap,
tracks around your neck.

00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:28.540 align:middle line:84%
Owls are you and at noon
the sand eats your thighs.

00:00:28.540 --> 00:00:33.730 align:middle line:84%
Numbed, you watch those seven
chanting sisters circle, circle

00:00:33.730 --> 00:00:36.520 align:middle line:84%
the horizon in
their flimsy skirts.

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.250 align:middle line:84%
Holding your breath, there's
one about to be eaten.

00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:43.930 align:middle line:84%
And on holidays unable
to lift your head.

00:00:43.930 --> 00:00:46.750 align:middle line:84%
Listener's dirty
toe headed girls

00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:49.960 align:middle line:84%
hide in the washes preparing
toasts for your honor

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.300 align:middle line:90%
with cups of sperm.

00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:54.880 align:middle line:84%
Your hands break
out with asterisks,

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.790 align:middle line:90%
counter sinks, oil stains.

00:00:57.790 --> 00:01:00.460 align:middle line:84%
A locomotive roars
through your head.

00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:03.910 align:middle line:84%
Even now the peaks rise
white creamy with it

00:01:03.910 --> 00:01:05.560 align:middle line:90%
while bones green.

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.040 align:middle line:84%
The burnt flesh
falls back from them.

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.170 align:middle line:84%
A pitted son smiles
through your ribs.

00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:15.000 align:middle line:90%
