00:00:07.610 --> 00:00:10.050 align:middle line:90%
This is "A Peculiar Caravan."

00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:13.250 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.250 --> 00:00:16.430 align:middle line:84%
"The tiny letters
that make words

00:00:16.430 --> 00:00:19.880 align:middle line:84%
also travel through
windshields, through your eyes,

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:24.170 align:middle line:84%
across tables, and
past mausoleum doors.

00:00:24.170 --> 00:00:28.610 align:middle line:84%
Some of these letters have
attained a strange resonance.

00:00:28.610 --> 00:00:33.380 align:middle line:84%
Inside the e's, skeleton
heads wobble and clack,

00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:36.530 align:middle line:84%
their garnet teeth
glinting in the weary glow

00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:39.050 align:middle line:90%
of your little nightlight.

00:00:39.050 --> 00:00:43.490 align:middle line:84%
Someone has dropped an old
green jacket on the k's.

00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:48.200 align:middle line:84%
They have fallen again, into
their sleep of uselessness.

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:53.090 align:middle line:84%
Also, the b's and t's are
wrapped in a wild embrace.

00:00:53.090 --> 00:00:56.780 align:middle line:84%
They are crying and won't
let go of each other.

00:00:56.780 --> 00:01:02.720 align:middle line:84%
You walk around all day in
clothes, tiring the world.

00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:05.300 align:middle line:84%
Every night, the tree
outside your window

00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:08.840 align:middle line:84%
has a nightmare
about a campfire.

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.170 align:middle line:84%
In winter, as you
ready yourself for bed,

00:01:12.170 --> 00:01:17.600 align:middle line:84%
it scratches strange new letters
onto your frosted window.

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:21.500 align:middle line:84%
You dream new words
with them, outlandish

00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:25.070 align:middle line:90%
shapes the world has yet to see.

00:01:25.070 --> 00:01:27.860 align:middle line:84%
By morning, they
have all trundled off

00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:30.350 align:middle line:90%
in a strange caravan.

00:01:30.350 --> 00:01:32.810 align:middle line:84%
But they remember
how you laughed,

00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:37.500 align:middle line:84%
your arms open wide,
while you chase them."
