00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:02.610 align:middle line:84%
This other one--
my partner actually

00:00:02.610 --> 00:00:05.395 align:middle line:84%
said, oh my god--
interesting, and-- this poem

00:00:05.395 --> 00:00:08.020 align:middle line:84%
that you wrote, because I asked
him to read it, read this poem.

00:00:08.020 --> 00:00:09.170 align:middle line:90%
What do you think?

00:00:09.170 --> 00:00:10.380 align:middle line:90%
And he just freaked out.

00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:12.780 align:middle line:90%
Maybe you'll tell me why.

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:14.205 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Other Victims."

00:00:14.205 --> 00:00:16.960 align:middle line:90%


00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.150 align:middle line:84%
"Thank heavens for victims
who find their way to folly.

00:00:21.150 --> 00:00:24.030 align:middle line:84%
They walk on the lean
streets in your place

00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:27.750 align:middle line:84%
and into a world
rich with abuses.

00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:31.590 align:middle line:84%
Their faith would have
no place to shine if not

00:00:31.590 --> 00:00:34.680 align:middle line:84%
for that journey, the
possible headlines,

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:40.650 align:middle line:84%
and sigh pushed out by the
odd relief that it wasn't you.

00:00:40.650 --> 00:00:42.390 align:middle line:90%
You are lucky.

00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:45.660 align:middle line:84%
The man you live with
would never kill you,

00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:49.470 align:middle line:84%
not in the violent
way other people die,

00:00:49.470 --> 00:00:53.910 align:middle line:84%
all horror flick theatrics
with costumes so dirty

00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:57.990 align:middle line:84%
they could only thrive
in other parts of town,

00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:03.210 align:middle line:84%
not here in the quiet rooms,
where your only surprise is

00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:06.400 align:middle line:90%
a kiss from behind.

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.700 align:middle line:84%
If he ever wanted
to be rid of you,

00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:13.530 align:middle line:84%
your lover would do it
kindly, perhaps a poison that

00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:16.140 align:middle line:90%
falls in love with your sleep.

00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:22.230 align:middle line:84%
A compassionate man, he won't
let you die in public or alone.

00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:25.650 align:middle line:84%
He won't let you
suffer without him.

00:01:25.650 --> 00:01:27.000 align:middle line:90%
Never worry.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.790 align:middle line:90%
He'll take care of you at home."

00:01:29.790 --> 00:01:33.140 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:35.000 align:middle line:90%
