Janet-- OK, this is a
poem called "Compulsion".

00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:09.670 align:middle line:84%
And it's a kind of
poem that every man

00:00:09.670 --> 00:00:13.570 align:middle line:84%
arrives through I think at one
time or another in his life.

00:00:13.570 --> 00:00:16.580 align:middle line:84%
"In the gallery, my
mistakes repeat themselves.

00:00:16.580 --> 00:00:21.640 align:middle line:84%
I take aim, I repeat,
small sins, less pleasure,

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.640 align:middle line:84%
we kiss our mistresses,
they kiss us back.

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.030 align:middle line:90%
Let's face it, I'm middle class.

00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:31.960 align:middle line:84%
Even when I run from my wife,
I keep running into her.

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.560 align:middle line:84%
I wear grooves so
deep, I sleep in them.

00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.820 align:middle line:84%
Sex falters, but the trail
mysteriously gets itself up

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:44.770 align:middle line:84%
over the next hill and
everywhere I go I follow pain.

00:00:44.770 --> 00:00:47.200 align:middle line:84%
If it's comfortable,
it's boring.

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.230 align:middle line:90%
If it's romantic, I go insane.

00:00:50.230 --> 00:00:53.890 align:middle line:84%
If each step were a different
stairway, we'd get lost.

00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:59.020 align:middle line:84%
And each love a new woman, we'd
get dizzy falling at such speed

00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:03.360 align:middle line:84%
and never hit bottom
riding, riding."
