00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:05.790 align:middle line:90%
"Basement Song."

00:00:05.790 --> 00:00:10.590 align:middle line:84%
Out of the deep, I dreamed the
mother, how deep the mother,

00:00:10.590 --> 00:00:14.170 align:middle line:84%
deep the basement, the
body, the odor of laundry,

00:00:14.170 --> 00:00:16.950 align:middle line:90%
the sweat of athletic socks.

00:00:16.950 --> 00:00:20.010 align:middle line:84%
The grass inside
the song stains me.

00:00:20.010 --> 00:00:22.110 align:middle line:90%
The mother stains me.

00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:26.190 align:middle line:84%
That was the year they cut
my throat and toads bloomed

00:00:26.190 --> 00:00:28.080 align:middle line:90%
on my voice box.

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:32.100 align:middle line:84%
I have kept my head up, have
kept myself out of trouble.

00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:33.570 align:middle line:90%
But deep is trouble.

00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:38.130 align:middle line:84%
Deep is mother, deep
the song inside summer.

00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:42.100 align:middle line:84%
Did I tell you it hurt
accepting air in a new body?

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:44.775 align:middle line:84%
And since the change,
the air burns.

00:00:44.775 --> 00:00:51.472 align:middle line:90%


00:00:51.472 --> 00:00:53.010 align:middle line:90%
How are we doing for time?

00:00:53.010 --> 00:00:54.090 align:middle line:90%
Are we all right?

00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:56.070 align:middle line:84%
I don't know what
time I started.

00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:58.220 align:middle line:84%
At least another fifteen
to twenty minutes.

00:00:58.220 --> 00:00:59.000 align:middle line:90%
