00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:04.112 align:middle line:84%
Next, I'll read
"Giving Myself Up."

00:00:04.112 --> 00:00:10.390 align:middle line:90%


00:00:10.390 --> 00:00:14.950 align:middle line:84%
"I give up my eyes,
which are glass eggs.

00:00:14.950 --> 00:00:17.650 align:middle line:90%
I give up my tongue.

00:00:17.650 --> 00:00:22.780 align:middle line:84%
I give up my mouth, which is
the constant dream of my tongue.

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:27.580 align:middle line:84%
I give up my throat, which
is the sleeve of my voice.

00:00:27.580 --> 00:00:31.510 align:middle line:84%
I give up my heart,
which is a burning apple.

00:00:31.510 --> 00:00:33.460 align:middle line:84%
I give up my lungs,
which are trees

00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:36.040 align:middle line:90%
that have never seen the moon.

00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:39.100 align:middle line:84%
I give up my smell, which
is that of a stone traveling

00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.020 align:middle line:90%
through rain.

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:44.290 align:middle line:84%
I give up my hands,
which are 10 wishes.

00:00:44.290 --> 00:00:48.250 align:middle line:84%
I give up my arms which have
wanted to leave me anyway.

00:00:48.250 --> 00:00:52.240 align:middle line:84%
I give up my legs, which
are lovers only at night.

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.960 align:middle line:84%
I give up my buttocks, which
are the moons of childhood.

00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.330 align:middle line:84%
I give up my penis, which
whispers encouragement

00:00:58.330 --> 00:01:00.400 align:middle line:90%
to my thighs.

00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:04.209 align:middle line:84%
I give up my clothes, which are
walls that blow in the wind.

00:01:04.209 --> 00:01:07.480 align:middle line:84%
And I give up the ghost
that lives in them.

00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.850 align:middle line:90%
I give up.

00:01:09.850 --> 00:01:12.280 align:middle line:90%
I give up.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.760 align:middle line:84%
And you will have none of it
because already I am beginning

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.390 align:middle line:90%
again without anything."
