00:00:00.590 --> 00:00:03.330 align:middle line:84%
And this is just a simple
little poem that probably is--

00:00:03.330 --> 00:00:05.640 align:middle line:90%
no, I don't know.

00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:08.440 align:middle line:90%
It's called "The Question."

00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:13.290 align:middle line:84%
Am I allowing enough time
in between for you all?

00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:15.600 align:middle line:90%
"The Question."

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:17.940 align:middle line:84%
"You look past me
through the open door

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:22.830 align:middle line:84%
at your hammock hanging by
one end from a large nail.

00:00:22.830 --> 00:00:26.740 align:middle line:84%
A dervish of dust spins
beside it, strokes it.

00:00:26.740 --> 00:00:31.870 align:middle line:84%
We stand up, we undress just
to see what will happen.

00:00:31.870 --> 00:00:33.000 align:middle line:90%
I'm shy.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.950 align:middle line:84%
A fist closed over a
secret, but you pry it open.

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:41.340 align:middle line:90%
Inside is another fist, yours.

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:43.200 align:middle line:84%
Later, while you
write your father

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.940 align:middle line:84%
who is dying 2,000 miles
away, I read the tarot.

00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.770 align:middle line:90%
You stop and watch me.

00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:51.060 align:middle line:90%
What do I see?

00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:52.020 align:middle line:90%
Nothing.

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:53.280 align:middle line:90%
You ask again?

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:54.240 align:middle line:90%
I lie.

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.190 align:middle line:84%
I said I saw nothing
in the cards.

00:00:56.190 --> 00:00:58.910 align:middle line:90%
Baby, nothing, but a man."

00:00:58.910 --> 00:01:01.000 align:middle line:90%
