00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.220 align:middle line:90%


00:00:04.220 --> 00:00:10.910 align:middle line:84%
And this is-- this
is called "We Are."

00:00:10.910 --> 00:00:14.060 align:middle line:90%
Love, we are a small pond.

00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:17.150 align:middle line:84%
In us, yellow
frogs take the sun.

00:00:17.150 --> 00:00:19.340 align:middle line:90%
Their legs hang down.

00:00:19.340 --> 00:00:24.260 align:middle line:84%
Their thighs open like the
legs of the littlest children.

00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:28.400 align:middle line:84%
On our skin, water
bugs suggest incision

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:31.550 align:middle line:84%
but leave no marks
of their strokes.

00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:33.380 align:middle line:90%
Touching is like that.

00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:36.200 align:middle line:90%
And what touch evokes.

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.050 align:middle line:84%
Just here, the
blackest berries fatten

00:00:39.050 --> 00:00:41.360 align:middle line:90%
over the pond of our being.

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:45.110 align:middle line:84%
It is a rich month
for putting up weeds.

00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:49.130 align:middle line:84%
They jut like the jaws
of Hapsburg kings.

00:00:49.130 --> 00:00:51.740 align:middle line:84%
Tomorrow, they will
drop their blood

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:55.550 align:middle line:84%
as the milkweed bursts
its cotton, leaving

00:00:55.550 --> 00:00:59.240 align:middle line:90%
dry thorns and tight seeds.

00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.900 align:middle line:84%
Meanwhile, even knowing
that time comes down

00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:04.550 align:middle line:90%
to shut the door--

00:01:04.550 --> 00:01:09.530 align:middle line:84%
headstrong, righteous, time
hard at the bone with ice

00:01:09.530 --> 00:01:11.420 align:middle line:90%
and one thing more--

00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:14.660 align:middle line:90%
we team, we overgrow.

00:01:14.660 --> 00:01:17.180 align:middle line:90%
The shelf is tropic still.

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:21.740 align:middle line:84%
Even knowing that none of us
can catch up with himself,

00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:24.170 align:middle line:90%
we are making a run for it.

00:01:24.170 --> 00:01:27.500 align:middle line:90%
Love, we are making a run.

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:28.000 align:middle line:90%
