00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.550 align:middle line:90%
So this is from my second book.

00:00:02.550 --> 00:00:04.220 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read a
sequence of poems.

00:00:04.220 --> 00:00:06.470 align:middle line:90%
They all do have titles.

00:00:06.470 --> 00:00:07.280 align:middle line:90%
Hi.

00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.550 align:middle line:84%
I know you're taking--
you're paparazziing.

00:00:10.550 --> 00:00:14.090 align:middle line:84%
Just like Lady Gaga saying
so many years ago, vintage.

00:00:14.090 --> 00:00:17.040 align:middle line:90%


00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:17.540 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:22.550 align:middle line:84%
So, this poem is
called, "Coming Over."

00:00:22.550 --> 00:00:24.410 align:middle line:84%
What was left of
our relationship,

00:00:24.410 --> 00:00:26.690 align:middle line:90%
neatly folded on the couch.

00:00:26.690 --> 00:00:29.900 align:middle line:84%
And the bathroom noticed
what else was missing.

00:00:29.900 --> 00:00:32.030 align:middle line:84%
You came into the
bathroom, taking out

00:00:32.030 --> 00:00:34.490 align:middle line:90%
your razor, your toothbrush.

00:00:34.490 --> 00:00:37.290 align:middle line:90%
Leaving my toothbrush.

00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:40.530 align:middle line:84%
Replacing everything
next to its double

00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:43.740 align:middle line:84%
as though I had
needlessly doubled.

00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:45.600 align:middle line:84%
I walked out from
my bathroom, and you

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.250 align:middle line:90%
walked into my bathroom.

00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:51.120 align:middle line:84%
The little soap and the razor,
the duplicates in the bags

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:55.840 align:middle line:84%
not wanting to owe me anything,
not wanting to have appeared.

00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.880 align:middle line:90%
It is like that.

00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.510 align:middle line:84%
I give my house and you
take how you live in it.

00:01:01.510 --> 00:01:05.620 align:middle line:84%
Not backwards or forwards,
but the past and the present

00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:08.040 align:middle line:90%
overcoming one another.

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.000 align:middle line:90%
