00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:05.670 align:middle line:84%
That's part of listening
to my daughter,

00:00:05.670 --> 00:00:07.890 align:middle line:84%
but I guess about
daughters in general.

00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:12.810 align:middle line:84%
Mine had bleached her hair to
a lovely corn silk or straw

00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:16.410 align:middle line:84%
color [? liftener. ?] And
she was growing in the--

00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:18.360 align:middle line:84%
as I say, in the heat
of summer, with all

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:24.340 align:middle line:84%
the hazards to growing,
attending her every step.

00:00:24.340 --> 00:00:26.730 align:middle line:90%
It's called Tension.

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:30.750 align:middle line:84%
Anyone can say corn
silk, field straw.

Girls with yellow hair are
away, down the avenue in dresses

00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:39.540 align:middle line:84%
like tents that the
rain drew up, up, up.

00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:44.340 align:middle line:84%
They came out in the sun, taut
to the rope pulled by the boys

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:47.820 align:middle line:84%
away down the street, past
the gray-stained awning

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:50.730 align:middle line:84%
over the donut shop
window and far as

00:00:50.730 --> 00:00:55.950 align:middle line:84%
the firehouse in dead serious
joy and work-time masks,

00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:59.535 align:middle line:84%
planting their feet in the
fertile heat with the borer

00:00:59.535 --> 00:01:03.150 align:middle line:84%
nymph grasshopper,
root-knotter, summer

00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:06.020 align:middle line:90%
blowing wind in the street.

00:01:06.020 --> 00:01:07.000 align:middle line:90%
