These are just a couple of
short poems about someone

00:00:07.577 --> 00:00:08.660 align:middle line:90%
who passed away this year.

00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:11.420 align:middle line:84%
This one's called
"The Surprise."

00:00:11.420 --> 00:00:14.180 align:middle line:84%
"You are so weak and
mostly you sleep.

00:00:14.180 --> 00:00:16.880 align:middle line:84%
But at times you leap
up, rip out your drip,

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:19.460 align:middle line:84%
and kick your
husband in the thigh.

00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:21.470 align:middle line:84%
Unvanquished, you
walk naked into night,

00:00:21.470 --> 00:00:23.390 align:middle line:84%
toward your brother,
your father,

00:00:23.390 --> 00:00:27.170 align:middle line:84%
the two dead men who have come
to take you to the other side.

00:00:27.170 --> 00:00:30.230 align:middle line:84%
What we didn't know, what
takes us by surprise,

00:00:30.230 --> 00:00:34.330 align:middle line:84%
is this rage, the rage
it takes you to die."
