This is one called "Lying on an
Air Mattress at Walter Keller's

00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:07.917 align:middle line:84%
Garage Apartment in
Athens, West Virginia."

"Over my head, I hear
the fat blowflies

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.980 align:middle line:90%
blowing the stale potted meat.

In the night, Walter's
German shepherds

00:00:25.710 --> 00:00:30.870 align:middle line:84%
follow one another into the
distances of the bathroom.

00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:36.780 align:middle line:84%
They sound like tidal waves as
they drink from the commode,

00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:42.720 align:middle line:84%
where last night's droppings
sink down into golden urine.

00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:48.600 align:middle line:84%
I lean back as my love
snores daintily beside me.

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.060 align:middle line:90%
There is a reading tomorrow.

00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:53.460 align:middle line:90%
It is 4 AM.

00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:57.210 align:middle line:90%
This mattress leaks, hissing.

00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:00.500 align:middle line:84%
I have wasted Walter's
patching glue."
