00:00:01.200 --> 00:00:07.680 align:middle line:84%
One called "Captain Dog," which
is a name one of my students

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.200 align:middle line:90%
gave me years ago.

00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:12.120 align:middle line:84%
I hope out of fondness,
but one never knows.

00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:15.210 align:middle line:90%


00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:16.303 align:middle line:90%
Dennis Saylor, Greg.

00:00:16.303 --> 00:00:17.136 align:middle line:90%
If you remember him.

00:00:17.136 --> 00:00:20.420 align:middle line:84%
You probably know Dennis Saylor,
one of those Fresno people.

00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:23.100 align:middle line:90%


00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:24.620 align:middle line:90%
"Captain Dog"

00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:28.850 align:middle line:84%
Another December, another year
gone to the bleached Pacific.

00:00:28.850 --> 00:00:32.150 align:middle line:84%
A little castle of snow
falling across the sky

00:00:32.150 --> 00:00:35.450 align:middle line:84%
I wanted to linger
in for a while.

00:00:35.450 --> 00:00:37.220 align:middle line:90%
And so I lose touch.

00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:39.470 align:middle line:84%
The walls in their
ice dismembering,

00:00:39.470 --> 00:00:44.120 align:middle line:84%
shrinking like aches, a
slide and a by-your-leave.

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:47.000 align:middle line:84%
The nights with their
starred palms press down.

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.520 align:middle line:90%
Black moths on the screen door.

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.620 align:middle line:84%
Slow breaths to stop the
body's bleeding, deep breaths.

00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:58.010 align:middle line:84%
I am jump-cut and Captain
Dog, staked in the shadow

00:00:58.010 --> 00:00:59.690 align:middle line:90%
of nothing's hand.

00:00:59.690 --> 00:01:01.850 align:middle line:90%
I bend like a finger joint.

00:01:01.850 --> 00:01:03.140 align:middle line:90%
I gather.

00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:04.545 align:middle line:90%
I burn.

00:01:04.545 --> 00:01:05.045 align:middle line:90%
