00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:02.850 align:middle line:84%
Now this is one
of the new ones--

00:00:02.850 --> 00:00:07.200 align:middle line:84%
well, an old one that
I just did not see.

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:12.660 align:middle line:84%
Toward the end, there's I-you
speak and there's a colon.

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:18.640 align:middle line:90%
And I say mouth speaking.

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:19.660 align:middle line:90%
That's the idea.

00:00:19.660 --> 00:00:24.880 align:middle line:84%
And so everything after
speaks is dialogue-like.

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:27.850 align:middle line:90%
It's called "The Tenant Farmer."

00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:30.570 align:middle line:84%
Nails of rain
puncture the ground

00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:34.120 align:middle line:84%
as I sit at the
table rubbing a fork.

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:37.300 align:middle line:84%
My woman slides a
knife across her lips

00:00:37.300 --> 00:00:40.630 align:middle line:84%
then lays it beside
a cup of water.

00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:43.870 align:middle line:84%
Each day, she bites
another notch in her thumb

00:00:43.870 --> 00:00:46.840 align:middle line:90%
and I pretend relief is coming.

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.890 align:middle line:84%
As a smooth black tire,
Earth, wheels around the sun

00:00:50.890 --> 00:00:53.740 align:middle line:90%
without its patch of topsoil.

00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:55.600 align:middle line:90%
And my mouth speaks--

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.840 align:middle line:84%
wheat, barley, red cabbage,
roll on home to Jesus.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:00.910 align:middle line:90%
It's too late now.

00:01:00.910 --> 00:01:02.730 align:middle line:90%
You're dead.

00:01:02.730 --> 00:01:04.000 align:middle line:90%
