00:00:01.630 --> 00:00:02.130 align:middle line:90%
"Wake."

00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:09.250 align:middle line:84%
"Some night, dad and
I drive all evening

00:00:09.250 --> 00:00:14.680 align:middle line:84%
through the mirage,
wet but not exactly.

00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:19.300 align:middle line:84%
To the eyes, a great
oasis in a great desert.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:20.980 align:middle line:90%
The eyes fail.

00:00:20.980 --> 00:00:22.930 align:middle line:90%
The road fails.

00:00:22.930 --> 00:00:26.410 align:middle line:84%
Joking, in this
moment, fails and we

00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:30.010 align:middle line:90%
keep the radio between us.

00:00:30.010 --> 00:00:32.439 align:middle line:84%
The Colorado River is
getting big in the britches,

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.780 align:middle line:90%
stepping on Blythe like that.

00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:36.790 align:middle line:90%
All wild goose and border.

00:00:36.790 --> 00:00:39.700 align:middle line:90%
Some country, hey kiddo?

00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:41.860 align:middle line:90%
The lie uplifts us.

00:00:41.860 --> 00:00:44.140 align:middle line:84%
Our cotton hasn't
been watered all year,

00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:48.460 align:middle line:84%
and our towns are
blossoms of mosquitoes.

00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:51.280 align:middle line:90%
In death, heaven forgives us.

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.640 align:middle line:84%
Heaven must be
somewhere past the Sun.

00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.500 align:middle line:90%
Heaven must have farmers.

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:00.880 align:middle line:84%
Someone must know
how to irrigate.

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.870 align:middle line:84%
When we are both adults,
I take the wheel.

00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:07.690 align:middle line:84%
The light is
buoyant in eventide.

00:01:07.690 --> 00:01:10.300 align:middle line:90%
The whole world is ink.

00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:12.460 align:middle line:90%
Flash, and then flood.

00:01:12.460 --> 00:01:15.500 align:middle line:90%
Then a car, then a raft."
