00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:01.680 align:middle line:90%
"Suffering."

00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:05.120 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.470 align:middle line:90%
This isn't the answer.

00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:09.920 align:middle line:84%
The answer is my
hand on the table,

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:12.380 align:middle line:84%
saying what we
thought privacy was

00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:14.780 align:middle line:84%
on your forehead
cupping the temple where

00:00:14.780 --> 00:00:17.090 align:middle line:90%
the fine hairs begin.

00:00:17.090 --> 00:00:20.690 align:middle line:84%
What origin begins with
hair the tenderest movement

00:00:20.690 --> 00:00:24.650 align:middle line:84%
out ends with bodies
lining graves and inability

00:00:24.650 --> 00:00:28.730 align:middle line:84%
to pronounce the phonemes of
your now foreign language.

00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:32.270 align:middle line:90%
The language itself an answer.

00:00:32.270 --> 00:00:34.610 align:middle line:84%
The woman isn't
answering the phone.

00:00:34.610 --> 00:00:36.890 align:middle line:84%
The woman isn't
answering anyone.

00:00:36.890 --> 00:00:38.750 align:middle line:90%
The woman isn't.

00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:42.890 align:middle line:84%
The woman is chemically altering
from the moment she is ignited.

00:00:42.890 --> 00:00:44.450 align:middle line:90%
The woman is a girl.

00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:47.450 align:middle line:84%
My palm across your
temple, your eyes

00:00:47.450 --> 00:00:51.230 align:middle line:90%
which follow me as I remove it.

00:00:51.230 --> 00:00:54.110 align:middle line:90%
Tied to a tree isn't the answer.

00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:56.510 align:middle line:84%
Tied to the back of a
truck isn't the answer

00:00:56.510 --> 00:00:58.250 align:middle line:90%
as it moves over miles.

00:00:58.250 --> 00:01:00.980 align:middle line:84%
Isn't the cold hospital
room, isn't, "You're

00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:05.450 align:middle line:84%
not my daughter anymore and
you'll never be my son."

00:01:05.450 --> 00:01:08.240 align:middle line:90%
This answer is evolving.

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:09.860 align:middle line:90%
This poem isn't.

00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:16.040 align:middle line:84%
Recall to me the names inscribed
on sheets, almost, almost.

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:22.730 align:middle line:84%
Your palm as it cuts my
temple covering the left eye.

00:01:22.730 --> 00:01:26.360 align:middle line:90%
The language itself.

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:29.960 align:middle line:84%
This isn't a wave as it
takes a whole island,

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:33.964 align:middle line:84%
then buries the island
beneath the island.

00:01:33.964 --> 00:01:34.464 align:middle line:90%
