This is called
"The Color Thief."

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:07.290 align:middle line:84%
And you could make the color
thief whatever you want.

00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:12.960 align:middle line:84%
I know what I'm meant it to be,
but just let it be mysterious.

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.420 align:middle line:90%
"The Color Thief."

"I enter your room
with my purple face,

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.460 align:middle line:90%
moist from excitement.

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.820 align:middle line:84%
The black straw basket I
carry in my yellow arms

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:29.730 align:middle line:84%
cracks softly in tune with a
brittle snap of my blue legs.

As I sneak to your
bed, little girl,

00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:35.820 align:middle line:84%
have you got a pink
buttock to lend

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:38.610 align:middle line:84%
or a cream colored
navel that darkens

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:42.540 align:middle line:84%
to brown as it spirals
inward or breasts?

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:44.940 align:middle line:90%
Yes, they are swelling now.

00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:48.610 align:middle line:84%
For the first
time, I touch them.

00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:51.120 align:middle line:90%
I take the nipples in my hands.

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:55.710 align:middle line:84%
They are hard and almost
as magenta as plums.

00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:59.370 align:middle line:84%
I drop them into my
basket and leave quickly.

00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:02.340 align:middle line:84%
The light bulbs I've stuck
in the tips of your breasts

00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:06.360 align:middle line:84%
shine far into your middle
age, the clearest white I've

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:08.080 align:middle line:90%
ever seen."

[CLEARS THROAT]

00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:10.440 align:middle line:90%
I'm sorry.

00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:14.070 align:middle line:84%
I'm very hoarse
from the medicine.

00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:15.890 align:middle line:90%
I'm dry.
