This poem is entitled
"The Passerby."

"Now that you're dead I can't
ask you for a recommendation,

00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:13.335 align:middle line:84%
my possible employment
at the pharmacy is kaput.

00:00:15.990 --> 00:00:19.590 align:middle line:84%
Now that you're dead I've
developed a slight stutter,

00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:23.834 align:middle line:84%
I hope you're proud of yourself
and your snowless light.

00:00:23.834 --> 00:00:26.970 align:middle line:84%
Ah, this isn't
fair, now that I'm

00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:30.520 align:middle line:84%
alive are you bored with
my enthusiasm already?

00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:33.150 align:middle line:90%
Do you want to play hearts?

00:00:33.150 --> 00:00:36.960 align:middle line:90%
Mine, mine, harbor in a name.

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.500 align:middle line:90%
Dead passersby, dead name.

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.170 align:middle line:84%
You're not listed
in my address book.

00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:46.440 align:middle line:90%
I'm on a bridge, out of matches.

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:50.640 align:middle line:84%
Now that you're dead,
surrender is a forgiven sound.

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.120 align:middle line:84%
The end of smoke, the
beginning of smoke

00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:57.440 align:middle line:84%
when your memory
temporarily returns."
