00:00:00.870 --> 00:00:02.910 align:middle line:84%
Now I'm getting into
something I like.

00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:09.000 align:middle line:84%
It's not that good a poem, but
I just like one word in it.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.620 align:middle line:84%
You have to figure
out which one.

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:13.380 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:15.390 align:middle line:90%
"Disregard."

00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:18.750 align:middle line:84%
"Overhead the match
burns out, but the chunk

00:00:18.750 --> 00:00:23.460 align:middle line:84%
of ice in the backseat keeps
melting from imagined heat,

00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:26.970 align:middle line:84%
while the old Hudson
tiptoes up the slope.

00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:31.350 align:middle line:84%
My voile blouse so wet it is
transparent like one frightened

00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:33.960 align:middle line:90%
hand clutches my chest.

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.630 align:middle line:84%
The bag of rock salt
sprawled beside me

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:42.270 align:middle line:84%
wakes thirsty and stretches the
shaky tongue toward the ice.

00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:44.580 align:middle line:90%
I press the gas pedal hard.

00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:49.260 align:middle line:84%
I'll get back to the house, the
dirt yard, the cesspool, to you

00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:52.740 align:middle line:84%
out back digging a well you
could fill with your sweat.

00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:56.550 align:middle line:84%
Though there is not one
reason I should want to.

00:00:56.550 --> 00:00:58.560 align:middle line:84%
You never notice
me until the end

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.650 align:middle line:84%
of the day, when your hand
is on my knee and the ice

00:01:01.650 --> 00:01:03.900 align:middle line:84%
cream cooked to
broth is hot enough

00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:07.039 align:middle line:90%
to burn the skin off my touch."

00:01:07.039 --> 00:01:08.000 align:middle line:90%
