This is a poem called "Hearts."

00:00:02.410 --> 00:00:05.130 align:middle line:84%
Which is not
exactly a love poem.

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:14.760 align:middle line:84%
And the idiot that it refers
to is Dostoevsky's The Idiot.

"After we've played a noble
scene, where no one is blamed,

00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:22.740 align:middle line:84%
and each takes the guilt
for not loving enough,

00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:26.700 align:middle line:84%
you would think we would
break up then and there.

00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:30.450 align:middle line:84%
We feel so fine and
mature toward each other,

00:00:30.450 --> 00:00:33.210 align:middle line:84%
we could cry on the
couch like The Idiot,

00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:38.220 align:middle line:84%
in sympathy for
everyone's point of view.

00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:41.430 align:middle line:84%
But after we've played
our noble scene,

00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:44.610 align:middle line:84%
the empathy generates
so much lust,

00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:48.180 align:middle line:84%
that unfortunately
we patch it up.

00:00:48.180 --> 00:00:52.610 align:middle line:84%
And two weeks later, the
real cutthroat stuff begins."
