00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.620 align:middle line:90%
"Why?

00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:04.770 align:middle line:84%
To diffuse the intensity
of our second true meeting,

00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:08.640 align:middle line:84%
we staged our third outside,
the whole time on the weather's

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:11.070 align:middle line:90%
verge, the salt light.

00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:14.850 align:middle line:84%
Less facile with language,
we let other wild things

00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:15.840 align:middle line:90%
take on the stirring.

00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:19.590 align:middle line:84%
That wind that kept
sounding like rain, ravens.

00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:22.740 align:middle line:84%
The sleek bee landing in
his bottle of orange juice,

00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:24.690 align:middle line:84%
distracted, but
did not stop him,

00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:29.280 align:middle line:84%
as he read his poem in the same
husky voice he uses to compose.

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:30.660 align:middle line:90%
And my turn?

00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:34.260 align:middle line:84%
The black and traversing
my manuscript, distracted,

00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:39.120 align:middle line:84%
but did not stop me nor did the
other bee hovering, nor even

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:42.990 align:middle line:84%
his hand as he brushed
the bee from my hair.

00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:44.850 align:middle line:90%
He kisses Margaret.

00:00:44.850 --> 00:00:46.800 align:middle line:84%
He knows when girls
want him to kiss them.

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:47.970 align:middle line:90%
He can tell.

00:00:47.970 --> 00:00:50.760 align:middle line:84%
I want him too, even
though I'm not a girl.

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:54.820 align:middle line:84%
Harpists need their fingertip
calluses to stay hard.

00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:56.910 align:middle line:90%
They can never go swimming.

00:00:56.910 --> 00:00:59.760 align:middle line:84%
Here, where the stream runs
over, the man made dam.

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:02.160 align:middle line:84%
The ruin of a folly
stands, limestone

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:05.190 align:middle line:84%
that would seem even colder
next to his soft skin.

00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:07.620 align:middle line:84%
I pretend to say, I would
like to be kissed here.

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:08.730 align:middle line:90%
I feature his answer.

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:10.560 align:middle line:90%
Yeah, we should try it.

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.410 align:middle line:84%
I'm old, old enough
to be his mother.

00:01:13.410 --> 00:01:17.100 align:middle line:84%
I've said I don't want some
mother-son configuration

00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:18.210 align:middle line:90%
with you, William.

00:01:18.210 --> 00:01:19.380 align:middle line:90%
He said, oh, you're not.

00:01:19.380 --> 00:01:22.170 align:middle line:90%
You're not.

00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:26.670 align:middle line:84%
Later on to myself, I say
to him your device goes just

00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:30.150 align:middle line:84%
as fall winter, are every bit
as pretty as spring summer.

00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:31.410 align:middle line:90%
In fact, more so.

00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:34.230 align:middle line:90%
So brunettes, like his hue, i.e.

00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:36.760 align:middle line:84%
her, are every bit
as pretty as blondes.

00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.030 align:middle line:90%
In fact, his Margaret, more so.

00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:40.830 align:middle line:90%
This is news.

00:01:40.830 --> 00:01:43.170 align:middle line:84%
At the time, I said
to him, you have

00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:47.070 align:middle line:84%
got to start thinking in
metres, not syllables.

00:01:47.070 --> 00:01:50.580 align:middle line:84%
His dedication to her reads,
these words are yours.

00:01:50.580 --> 00:01:51.210 align:middle line:90%
Bullshit.

00:01:51.210 --> 00:01:52.440 align:middle line:90%
They're his.

00:01:52.440 --> 00:01:55.320 align:middle line:84%
Her words are what
she innanely says.

00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:57.930 align:middle line:84%
When we, for real,
discussed his sonnet,

00:01:57.930 --> 00:02:01.920 align:middle line:84%
he said I stole that
line from you, which that

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.300 align:middle line:90%
across your mouth.

00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:05.415 align:middle line:84%
Listen, I was
telling you, kiss me.

00:02:05.415 --> 00:02:07.940 align:middle line:90%


00:02:07.940 --> 00:02:10.729 align:middle line:84%
Here's the couplet, how
delicate the matter between us,

00:02:10.729 --> 00:02:14.060 align:middle line:84%
the issue, sweet--
the top of your penis.

00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:16.730 align:middle line:90%
I've heard that rhyme.

00:02:16.730 --> 00:02:17.990 align:middle line:90%
Why?

00:02:17.990 --> 00:02:21.470 align:middle line:84%
Because this happens
merely unto air.

00:02:21.470 --> 00:02:24.650 align:middle line:84%
You, I mean, you, William,
you write yourself

00:02:24.650 --> 00:02:26.750 align:middle line:84%
down between one
sleep and the next.

00:02:26.750 --> 00:02:27.890 align:middle line:90%
For whom?

00:02:27.890 --> 00:02:31.790 align:middle line:84%
Rain on your window, you
see rain on your rooftop.

00:02:31.790 --> 00:02:37.010 align:middle line:84%
I see, I, Catholic, willingly
take your intellect to heart,

00:02:37.010 --> 00:02:40.520 align:middle line:84%
but the bed in the
other room pauses.

00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.290 align:middle line:84%
My streaking windows text
I cast in words, Hazelwood,

00:02:45.290 --> 00:02:49.310 align:middle line:84%
last treasury of the last
chance I might ever want.

00:02:49.310 --> 00:02:54.560 align:middle line:84%
I can't tell which you
are, ephemera, recogniser.

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.350 align:middle line:84%
Don't you see that I long
to fill you with erections

00:02:57.350 --> 00:03:00.140 align:middle line:84%
that I gasp to behold
you Presbyterian

00:03:00.140 --> 00:03:01.250 align:middle line:90%
in pain of my own."

00:03:01.250 --> 00:03:04.280 align:middle line:90%


00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:05.900 align:middle line:90%
Last one, "I wrote it.

00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:08.240 align:middle line:90%
I wrote it, wrote it is too.

00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.780 align:middle line:84%
Painful I did not write I
never want to see you again.

00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:12.560 align:middle line:90%
I wrote it.

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.710 align:middle line:84%
It is too painful to
see you right now.

00:03:15.710 --> 00:03:18.480 align:middle line:84%
I, he, wrote me
back, I understand.

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:19.310 align:middle line:90%
I really do.

00:03:19.310 --> 00:03:20.690 align:middle line:90%
I'm not upset.

00:03:20.690 --> 00:03:22.580 align:middle line:90%
That was upsetting.

00:03:22.580 --> 00:03:24.050 align:middle line:90%
Where is your anger, man.

00:03:24.050 --> 00:03:27.440 align:middle line:84%
You have lost me, your
great and former mentor.

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:32.190 align:middle line:84%
He signed himself, your friend
then first name, last name.

00:03:32.190 --> 00:03:32.690 align:middle line:90%
Now.

00:03:32.690 --> 00:03:35.000 align:middle line:84%
When I walk the
dunes or go downtown

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.030 align:middle line:84%
for errands, the post
office, the store,

00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:41.060 align:middle line:84%
my reminder goes to
avoid him will be hard,

00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:43.460 align:middle line:90%
but it will help me the most.

00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:47.030 align:middle line:84%
Your rhythmic shoulders,
he does not trip on curbs,

00:03:47.030 --> 00:03:49.240 align:middle line:90%
he does not crash."

00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.000 align:middle line:90%
