"Reversible".

00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:04.710 align:middle line:90%
Try this.

00:00:04.710 --> 00:00:09.060 align:middle line:84%
Shadows of leaves, between
shadows of Venetian blinds,

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:14.460 align:middle line:84%
bounce like holes across the
scroll of a player piano.

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.370 align:middle line:90%
But are similes reversible?

00:00:17.370 --> 00:00:18.660 align:middle line:90%
Try this.

00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:24.570 align:middle line:84%
Trunk of a palm tree as the
leg of a one-legged ballerina--

00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:29.280 align:middle line:84%
that's a bad Sean
Connery, but a good print.

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.580 align:middle line:84%
We wake up to an empty
room, addressing itself

00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:34.320 align:middle line:90%
in scare quotes.

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.270 align:middle line:84%
Happen, and now, have been
smuggled out to arrive safely

00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:41.220 align:middle line:90%
in the past tense.

00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:45.650 align:middle line:84%
We come home to a cap,
made entirely of fish.

00:00:45.650 --> 00:00:48.000 align:middle line:90%
