00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:05.080 align:middle line:84%
It's going to be a stiff
drop to sadness, OK?

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.910 align:middle line:84%
I just wanted to
give you a little.

00:00:07.910 --> 00:00:08.410 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:08.410 --> 00:00:11.490 align:middle line:90%


00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:12.615 align:middle line:90%
"Seagull, Tiny."

00:00:12.615 --> 00:00:15.770 align:middle line:90%


00:00:15.770 --> 00:00:21.320 align:middle line:84%
The villagers are watchful in
their booths at Boston Market,

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.110 align:middle line:84%
the boys living on
sulfur and talking

00:00:24.110 --> 00:00:27.080 align:middle line:90%
about feelings and memory.

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:29.540 align:middle line:84%
The United States is
the collective process

00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:33.080 align:middle line:84%
of demanding feelings
and a certain memory.

00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:38.900 align:middle line:84%
I would live on synthetics,
but I hate fragility.

00:00:38.900 --> 00:00:43.640 align:middle line:84%
Lonely and afraid, my women
sing, there is no father in me.

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.050 align:middle line:84%
They talk about
anything a limit allows.

00:00:48.050 --> 00:00:52.160 align:middle line:84%
There is hope of forgiveness,
but my American corpse

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:55.430 align:middle line:90%
has been such a disappointment.

00:00:55.430 --> 00:01:01.730 align:middle line:84%
I would live on feeling
safe and spilling secrets.

00:01:01.730 --> 00:01:04.849 align:middle line:84%
It is confusing,
the plain people

00:01:04.849 --> 00:01:09.000 align:middle line:90%
passing like potato blossoms.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.880 align:middle line:84%
When I first met a trans
person at age seven,

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:15.540 align:middle line:84%
she served us mashed
potatoes at Boston Market.

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:18.060 align:middle line:84%
Mother winced, and
statistically, it's

00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:20.070 align:middle line:90%
unlikely she kept the job.

00:01:20.070 --> 00:01:24.450 align:middle line:84%
I am worthy of eating
food, I tell myself.

00:01:24.450 --> 00:01:28.200 align:middle line:84%
There is some hope of
forgiveness for boys.

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.840 align:middle line:90%
I would live on their plastic.

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.720 align:middle line:84%
It is confusing
that words trick us.

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:36.560 align:middle line:90%


00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.603 align:middle line:90%
So that's the small taste.

00:01:38.603 --> 00:01:39.103 align:middle line:90%
