00:00:03.460 --> 00:00:05.560 align:middle line:90%
And this one is called--

00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:08.380 align:middle line:84%
I've never read this
one a lot, anyway.

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:11.260 align:middle line:90%
I hope my kids aren't watching.

00:00:11.260 --> 00:00:13.095 align:middle line:90%
Sorry, kids.

00:00:13.095 --> 00:00:14.095 align:middle line:90%
This one's called "One".

00:00:14.095 --> 00:00:17.690 align:middle line:90%


00:00:17.690 --> 00:00:22.010 align:middle line:84%
There were nights I told
myself, drinking Jack

00:00:22.010 --> 00:00:25.250 align:middle line:90%
was safer than sucking one off.

00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:30.470 align:middle line:84%
One would never consume me,
the other I couldn't be sure.

00:00:30.470 --> 00:00:32.750 align:middle line:84%
I had given myself
already to a man who

00:00:32.750 --> 00:00:34.370 align:middle line:90%
hadn't fathered my children.

00:00:34.370 --> 00:00:37.550 align:middle line:84%
When he came inside
me, he never left.

00:00:37.550 --> 00:00:39.650 align:middle line:90%
I could not risk it.

00:00:39.650 --> 00:00:43.100 align:middle line:84%
Maybe I was more frightened
than I had let on.

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:47.060 align:middle line:84%
Not of disease, or
rumor, or even shame,

00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:50.510 align:middle line:84%
but of removing one
boot, then another.

00:00:50.510 --> 00:00:53.420 align:middle line:84%
A shirt, both legs
from my jeans,

00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:55.320 align:middle line:90%
bobby pins, and earrings.

00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:56.900 align:middle line:90%
This baring ritual.

00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:59.930 align:middle line:90%
The turning of skin inside out.

00:00:59.930 --> 00:01:05.720 align:middle line:84%
Fingers and eyes, where there
should be no fingers, no eyes.

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:08.410 align:middle line:84%
I have built a
covenant with myself.

00:01:08.410 --> 00:01:13.720 align:middle line:84%
Even drunk I could calculate
the safety of one I could count.

00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:16.260 align:middle line:90%
I could count on that.

00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:17.000 align:middle line:90%
