00:00:00.582 --> 00:00:02.040 align:middle line:84%
This is another
one that's made up.

00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:04.530 align:middle line:84%
I'd certainly hate to
think that I'm like this,

00:00:04.530 --> 00:00:07.890 align:middle line:84%
but I guess some
part of me must be.

00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:11.490 align:middle line:90%
It's called The Rival.

00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:13.230 align:middle line:90%
An orange falls open.

00:00:13.230 --> 00:00:16.440 align:middle line:84%
I slide my tongue
across the knife.

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.390 align:middle line:84%
In the corner of
the dancing studio,

00:00:18.390 --> 00:00:22.710 align:middle line:84%
your ballet slippers gleam
on the windowsill like pears.

00:00:22.710 --> 00:00:25.360 align:middle line:84%
Our lover stares at
them, and dreams of ice

00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:27.720 align:middle line:90%
that sticks to his fingers.

00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:30.360 align:middle line:90%
He wants a cool glass of milk.

00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:34.650 align:middle line:84%
Instead, you give him a
bowl filled with oranges.

00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:37.350 align:middle line:90%
The moon kisses my sheets white.

00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:40.740 align:middle line:84%
I swallow a slice
of orange and smile.

00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:42.450 align:middle line:90%
My turn is next.

00:00:42.450 --> 00:00:44.760 align:middle line:84%
Tomorrow I will leave
my riding gloves

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:48.300 align:middle line:84%
on the windowsill and
a bowl of fresh milk.

00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:50.880 align:middle line:90%
Beads jewel the saucer.

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.680 align:middle line:90%
I'll watch him lick them off.

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:54.090 align:middle line:90%
He is no fool.

00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:55.800 align:middle line:84%
When he is finished
with me, he'll

00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:58.440 align:middle line:84%
plunge his hands in
cold water and imagine

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:02.790 align:middle line:84%
if I had a rival
what weapons I'd use.

00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:05.340 align:middle line:90%
Let us call him our brother.

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:08.690 align:middle line:84%
We'll share him like
a piece of fruit.

00:01:08.690 --> 00:01:10.000 align:middle line:90%
