"As Soldier's March, Alfonso
Covers the Boy's Face with

00:00:06.110 --> 00:00:07.910 align:middle line:90%
a Newspaper."

00:00:07.910 --> 00:00:12.390 align:middle line:84%
Fourteen people,
most of us strangers,

00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:14.420 align:middle line:90%
watch Sonya kneel by Petya

00:00:14.420 --> 00:00:17.160 align:middle line:84%
shot in the middle
of the street.

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:21.960 align:middle line:84%
She picks up his spectacles
shining like two coins,

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.750 align:middle line:90%
balances them on his nose.

00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:27.860 align:middle line:90%
Observe this moment

00:00:27.860 --> 00:00:31.010 align:middle line:90%
--how it convulses--

00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:36.180 align:middle line:84%
Snow falls and the dogs run
into the streets like medics.

00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:38.090 align:middle line:90%
Fourteen of us watch:

00:00:38.090 --> 00:00:41.510 align:middle line:84%
Sonya kisses his
forehead-- her shout a hole

00:00:41.510 --> 00:00:46.190 align:middle line:84%
torn in the sky, it shimmers
the park benches, porchlights.

00:00:46.190 --> 00:00:50.330 align:middle line:90%
We see in Sonya's open mouth

00:00:50.330 --> 00:00:52.310 align:middle line:90%
the nakedness

00:00:52.310 --> 00:00:55.040 align:middle line:90%
of the whole nation.

00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:56.570 align:middle line:90%
She stretches out

00:00:56.570 --> 00:00:59.300 align:middle line:84%
beside the little
snowman napping

00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:01.490 align:middle line:90%
in the middle of the street.

00:01:01.490 --> 00:01:08.980 align:middle line:84%
As picking up its
belly the country runs.
