A poem about the difficulty of
relationships called "Honesty."

00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:10.590 align:middle line:84%
"All night, we lock our
doors, the hard, sad mouths.

00:00:10.590 --> 00:00:13.590 align:middle line:84%
We stalk naked,
bedroom to bathroom,

00:00:13.590 --> 00:00:18.840 align:middle line:84%
shining like scissors,
like silver, like crosses.

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:22.350 align:middle line:84%
When we lie down, tell
me what slips between us,

00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:24.120 align:middle line:90%
self-conscious.

00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:29.670 align:middle line:84%
We sleep in a coffin, in satin,
a wedding, waiting for morning.

00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:32.580 align:middle line:84%
Look how we look
away, revelations

00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:34.770 align:middle line:90%
that can almost touch.

00:00:34.770 --> 00:00:36.420 align:middle line:90%
Are we the honesties?

00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:39.870 align:middle line:84%
We are stars that blink
in our night clothes

00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:43.395 align:middle line:84%
like slow-turning planets
filled with other lives."

00:00:43.395 --> 00:00:56.420 align:middle line:90%


00:00:56.420 --> 00:01:01.580 align:middle line:84%
Another poem about-- let
me give you a minute break

00:01:01.580 --> 00:01:03.940 align:middle line:90%
while I light a cigarette.

00:01:03.940 --> 00:01:11.000 align:middle line:90%
