Dave, the tattoo artist at 454,
claims a woman inked faster,

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.470 align:middle line:84%
faster on either ass cheek,
as if her desire seeped

00:00:14.470 --> 00:00:18.190 align:middle line:84%
through, drab and dispensable
like Christmas in the mall

00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:20.170 align:middle line:90%
or Sex Pistols anarchy.

00:00:20.170 --> 00:00:22.240 align:middle line:90%
Lo siento, Mark.

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:24.130 align:middle line:84%
In The New Yorker
or The Times, I

00:00:24.130 --> 00:00:27.970 align:middle line:84%
forget which, paraphrased,
now that the city's

00:00:27.970 --> 00:00:32.259 align:middle line:84%
has become one gigantic
mall, remember when you said,

00:00:32.259 --> 00:00:34.420 align:middle line:84%
how do you move
your hips like that?

00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:35.980 align:middle line:90%
I'll never forget it.

00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:39.160 align:middle line:84%
Once, during sex to
be kinky, I said,

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:43.510 align:middle line:84%
the original Starbucks logo
is a double-tailed mermaid

00:00:43.510 --> 00:00:46.550 align:middle line:90%
spreading herself for sailors.

00:00:46.550 --> 00:00:49.660 align:middle line:84%
There's sex everywhere
in America but in sex.

00:00:49.660 --> 00:00:51.070 align:middle line:90%
That's not my line.

00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:54.160 align:middle line:84%
I'm paraphrasing, but
I don't remember whom.

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:57.130 align:middle line:90%
I heard whom is a dying word.

00:00:57.130 --> 00:00:58.600 align:middle line:90%
I copied Joan Didion.

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.900 align:middle line:84%
I titled a folder 'notes
toward question mark'

00:01:01.900 --> 00:01:05.950 align:middle line:84%
and in it, wrote, a sense
that America is shattered."

00:01:05.950 --> 00:01:08.500 align:middle line:90%
"Walt Whitman's America."

00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:09.000 align:middle line:90%
