00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.680 align:middle line:90%


00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:03.090 align:middle line:90%
Now I'm getting sick.

00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:05.350 align:middle line:90%
I think-- OK, cows and a story.

00:00:05.350 --> 00:00:06.730 align:middle line:90%
Are you ready?

00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:07.230 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:07.230 --> 00:00:14.640 align:middle line:84%
This is-- my dog, Honey, she
was a stray from the Bronx.

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.010 align:middle line:84%
And yet she has
a total obsession

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:19.200 align:middle line:90%
with large farm animals.

00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:21.060 align:middle line:90%
And so I got her--

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:22.560 align:middle line:84%
so I live some of
the time in Texas,

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:24.570 align:middle line:84%
and I got her a subscription
to this magazine

00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:26.760 align:middle line:90%
called Livestock Weekly.

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.800 align:middle line:84%
So it would come
into-- it was so great.

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.580 align:middle line:84%
It would come into the mailbox
in Marfa: Honey Terence Miles.

00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:34.650 align:middle line:84%
And then her-- and
so there's always

00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:36.890 align:middle line:84%
like sad animals
on the cover, who

00:00:36.890 --> 00:00:39.390 align:middle line:84%
you know what's going to
happen to these animals.

00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:40.800 align:middle line:90%
"Nobody Friends."

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:43.650 align:middle line:84%
"Nobody's talking about
the five of you, a family.

00:00:43.650 --> 00:00:47.280 align:middle line:84%
The blue sky gets all the
talk that's sometimes brown.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.740 align:middle line:84%
I see accusation and in bright
white faces, a wee bit of fear

00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:55.800 align:middle line:84%
because posing for a
picture means what for cows.

00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:58.380 align:middle line:84%
You'll bring expected
prices, they say.

00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:00.090 align:middle line:90%
You lived in North Texas.

00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:02.490 align:middle line:84%
There's a reddish tree and
we're standing far back

00:01:02.490 --> 00:01:05.489 align:middle line:84%
from where you gaze and
head down eating grass.

00:01:05.489 --> 00:01:09.670 align:middle line:84%
This brown along the skyline,
bumpy, looking like paradise

00:01:09.670 --> 00:01:12.310 align:middle line:84%
the caption says, but
on closer examination

00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:14.530 align:middle line:90%
reveals short pickings.

00:01:14.530 --> 00:01:16.120 align:middle line:90%
I saved you for what?

00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:17.740 align:middle line:90%
To say you've been and gone.

00:01:17.740 --> 00:01:20.110 align:middle line:84%
And each time you
pose, I think of you

00:01:20.110 --> 00:01:23.440 align:middle line:84%
and go, Oh, long dead
people look so dumb.

00:01:23.440 --> 00:01:25.540 align:middle line:84%
You're the same
ones I know today.

00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:28.030 align:middle line:84%
And the photos are
blatantly poor.

00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:30.100 align:middle line:84%
The light on your
face and bodies,

00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:32.140 align:middle line:84%
the way you stand
the day is true

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:36.615 align:middle line:84%
still is yours,
yours, all yours."

00:01:36.615 --> 00:01:43.000 align:middle line:90%
