00:00:01.095 --> 00:00:03.720 align:middle line:84%
This is also on the same island,
or one of these Greek islands.

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:05.198 align:middle line:90%
This is different one.

00:00:05.198 --> 00:00:05.865 align:middle line:90%
"Playing House."

00:00:05.865 --> 00:00:08.940 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.940 --> 00:00:11.670 align:middle line:84%
"I found another
baby scorpion today.

00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:12.930 align:middle line:90%
Tiny.

00:00:12.930 --> 00:00:14.430 align:middle line:90%
Exquisite.

00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:18.030 align:middle line:84%
And this time, without his
mother, alone in the bag

00:00:18.030 --> 00:00:20.130 align:middle line:90%
of onions.

00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:23.220 align:middle line:90%
I wonder what is between them.

00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:28.050 align:middle line:84%
Does she grieve someplace now
up there hanging by her claws

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:32.580 align:middle line:84%
as she makes her way awkwardly
back and forth across my bamboo

00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:34.410 align:middle line:90%
ceiling?

00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:37.200 align:middle line:84%
Is there a bewildered
sound like the goat

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.940 align:middle line:84%
calling those long days after
they ate her kid for Easter?

00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:44.670 align:middle line:84%
Is there a thin,
whispery voice I

00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:49.980 align:middle line:84%
can't hear going back and forth,
which the Chinese elm hears,

00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:54.900 align:middle line:84%
which the grapes, and ants,
the spiders, and rat hear?

00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:57.990 align:middle line:90%
Or is it only insectal?

00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:00.480 align:middle line:90%
The sound of apparatus?

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.870 align:middle line:90%
Did she feed him incidentally?

00:01:03.870 --> 00:01:08.670 align:middle line:84%
Did they sleep unafraid, this
mother and babe not needing

00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:13.520 align:middle line:84%
to touch each other
first for reassurance?
