00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:06.720 align:middle line:84%
Did anyone ever know
who we were if we

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:10.080 align:middle line:84%
means more than
a handful, flower

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:14.520 align:middle line:84%
of a generation, young
white men cut off

00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:18.330 align:middle line:90%
in the named commemorated wars?

00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:22.920 align:middle line:84%
I stare, Jewish, into
that loss for which

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.160 align:middle line:90%
all names become unspeakable.

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.360 align:middle line:84%
Not ever, just the best
and brightest but the most

00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:34.740 align:middle line:84%
wretched and bedeviled,
the obscure, the strange,

00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:42.360 align:middle line:84%
the driven, the twins, the
dwarfs, the geniuses, the gay.

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:45.780 align:middle line:90%
But ours was not the only loss.

00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:51.980 align:middle line:84%
To whom does annihilation
speak, as if for the first time?

00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:53.000 align:middle line:90%
