These are a few
poems from "Stealth."

00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:06.390 align:middle line:90%
Maureen and I wrote together.

00:00:06.390 --> 00:00:09.030 align:middle line:84%
This is from the center
section of the book.

00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:13.860 align:middle line:84%
It's a abecedarian, and
we wrote to each other.

00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:16.320 align:middle line:84%
We decided we would send
each other secret words,

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.070 align:middle line:84%
and we would each write back
and forth on these secret words.

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:23.040 align:middle line:84%
They really weren't so secret,
because we gave each other

00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:26.730 align:middle line:84%
the words, so anyway, we
still called them secrets,

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.490 align:middle line:84%
and these are just
a couple of them.

00:00:29.490 --> 00:00:33.000 align:middle line:90%
Secret 3, Corruptionist.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.880 align:middle line:84%
Strip me, starve
me, little fountain.

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.640 align:middle line:84%
Of course, predator
of love and prostitute

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.700 align:middle line:84%
of private affair of
some heart, some boy,

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.100 align:middle line:90%
some corruptionist passion.

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:46.770 align:middle line:84%
That was all it was
worth, but worth forever

00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:49.200 align:middle line:90%
carried in my balls.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.910 align:middle line:84%
That stink, that
cradle, that fortune.

00:00:52.910 --> 00:00:54.000 align:middle line:90%
