"A Man Alone"

00:00:05.180 --> 00:00:06.410 align:middle line:90%
"He hated breaking up.

00:00:06.410 --> 00:00:10.640 align:middle line:84%
And he hated being left, finding
himself in an apartment with

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:15.530 align:middle line:84%
an extra set of silverware and
a ghost, impatient to be gone,

00:00:15.530 --> 00:00:19.760 align:middle line:84%
then to summon up who he was
before the bed was full with

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.710 align:middle line:84%
woman, to shift the street-mind
from getting to, to slowing

00:00:24.710 --> 00:00:27.890 align:middle line:84%
down and window
shop, in the bar,

00:00:27.890 --> 00:00:31.940 align:middle line:84%
to let his eyes simplify
again, and make no judgments,

00:00:31.940 --> 00:00:35.750 align:middle line:84%
and breathe in the smoke that
drifts through one body then

00:00:35.750 --> 00:00:39.740 align:middle line:84%
another, and find himself
close enough to whisper

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:45.230 align:middle line:84%
into a woman's just-washed hair
and inhale that 10,000-year-old

00:00:45.230 --> 00:00:49.760 align:middle line:84%
scent, to keep his hands
in his pockets like a boy,

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:53.090 align:middle line:84%
to open the heart only
a little at a time,

00:00:53.090 --> 00:00:56.080 align:middle line:90%
to say goodnight at her door."
