00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:02.970 align:middle line:84%
This is a love
poem about my life.

00:00:02.970 --> 00:00:08.240 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.950 align:middle line:90%
And it takes place--

00:00:09.950 --> 00:00:18.420 align:middle line:84%
I'm on a Greek mountain,
little Greek village.

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:20.590 align:middle line:90%
It's called Going Wrong.

00:00:20.590 --> 00:00:24.270 align:middle line:90%


00:00:24.270 --> 00:00:27.600 align:middle line:90%
The fish are strange.

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.880 align:middle line:84%
They're brought up the
mountain in the dawn,

00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:34.710 align:middle line:84%
most days beautiful and
alien and cold from night

00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:40.650 align:middle line:84%
under the sea, the grand rooms
fading from their flat eyes.

00:00:40.650 --> 00:00:47.310 align:middle line:84%
Soft machinery of the dark,
the man thinks, washing them.

00:00:47.310 --> 00:00:50.400 align:middle line:84%
"What can you know
of my machinery?"

00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:52.830 align:middle line:90%
demands the Lord.

00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:57.030 align:middle line:84%
"Sure," the man says
quietly and cuts into them,

00:00:57.030 --> 00:01:01.860 align:middle line:84%
laying back the dozen struts,
Getting to the muck of something

00:01:01.860 --> 00:01:04.110 align:middle line:90%
terrible.

00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:07.470 align:middle line:84%
The Lord insists,
"You are the one

00:01:07.470 --> 00:01:10.290 align:middle line:90%
who chooses to live this way.

00:01:10.290 --> 00:01:13.330 align:middle line:84%
I build cities where
things are human.

00:01:13.330 --> 00:01:19.110 align:middle line:84%
I make Tuscany, and you go to
live with rock and silence."

00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:23.070 align:middle line:84%
The man washes away the
blood and arranges the fish

00:01:23.070 --> 00:01:28.080 align:middle line:84%
on a big plate, starts the
onions and the hot olive oil

00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:31.140 align:middle line:90%
and puts in peppers.

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:35.340 align:middle line:84%
You have lived all
year without women.

00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:39.810 align:middle line:84%
He takes out everything
and puts in the fish.

00:01:39.810 --> 00:01:42.030 align:middle line:90%
No one knows where you are.

00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:43.710 align:middle line:90%
People forget you.

00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:47.100 align:middle line:90%
You're vain and stubborn.

00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:51.660 align:middle line:84%
The man slices tomatoes and
lemons, takes out the fish,

00:01:51.660 --> 00:01:54.600 align:middle line:90%
and scrambles eggs.

00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:58.560 align:middle line:84%
"I am not stubborn," he
thinks, laying all of it

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:04.110 align:middle line:84%
on the table in the courtyard
full of early sun, shadows

00:02:04.110 --> 00:02:12.320 align:middle line:84%
of swallows flying on the food,
"not stubborn, just greedy."

00:02:12.320 --> 00:02:13.000 align:middle line:90%
