00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:04.620 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read something
in a somewhat lighter vein I'm

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:06.480 align:middle line:90%
sure you'll be glad to know.

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.660 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:11.640 align:middle line:90%
This is called Negotiations.

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.300 align:middle line:90%


00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:19.520 align:middle line:84%
"Someday, if someday
comes, we will agree

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:23.720 align:middle line:90%
that trust is not about safety.

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:27.170 align:middle line:84%
That keeping faith
is not about deciding

00:00:27.170 --> 00:00:31.910 align:middle line:84%
to clip our fingernails
exactly to the same length.

00:00:31.910 --> 00:00:38.120 align:middle line:84%
Or wearing a uniform that
boasts our unanimity.

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:42.020 align:middle line:84%
Someday, if someday
comes we'll know

00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:47.150 align:middle line:84%
the difference between liberal
laissez-faire pluralism,

00:00:47.150 --> 00:00:49.820 align:middle line:84%
and the way you cut
your hair and the way

00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:53.030 align:middle line:84%
I clench my hand
against my cheekbone

00:00:53.030 --> 00:00:59.210 align:middle line:84%
both being possible
gestures of defiance.

00:00:59.210 --> 00:01:04.250 align:middle line:84%
Someday, if there's a
someday, we will bring food.

00:01:04.250 --> 00:01:08.090 align:middle line:84%
You'll say, I can't eat
what you've brought.

00:01:08.090 --> 00:01:12.500 align:middle line:84%
I'll say have some in the name
of our trying to be friends.

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.530 align:middle line:90%
You'll say what about you?

00:01:15.530 --> 00:01:18.590 align:middle line:84%
We'll taste strange
meat and we'll

00:01:18.590 --> 00:01:21.005 align:middle line:90%
admit we've tasted stranger.

00:01:21.005 --> 00:01:23.660 align:middle line:90%


00:01:23.660 --> 00:01:30.770 align:middle line:84%
Someday, if someday ever
comes, we'll go back

00:01:30.770 --> 00:01:37.550 align:middle line:84%
and reread those poems and
manifestos that so enraged us

00:01:37.550 --> 00:01:40.640 align:middle line:90%
in each other's hand.

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:47.570 align:middle line:84%
I'll say, but damn, you wrote
it so I couldn't write it off.

00:01:47.570 --> 00:01:54.310 align:middle line:84%
You'll say, I read you always
even when I hated you."
