00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:08.240 align:middle line:90%
Metonymy

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.320 align:middle line:90%
Someone wheeled me to the curb.

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.920 align:middle line:84%
Someone else helped
me into a car.

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:19.160 align:middle line:84%
We got to the condo and managed
to get me down the stairs

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.520 align:middle line:84%
into the living room, where
I fell asleep on a mattress

00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:25.240 align:middle line:90%
we put on the floor.

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:31.000 align:middle line:84%
I slept, I peed myself,
I fell off the mattress,

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.900 align:middle line:84%
I fell out of chairs
talking wildly.

00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:36.800 align:middle line:84%
I scared them, whoever
they were, the people

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:39.480 align:middle line:90%
I was supposed to know.

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:42.800 align:middle line:84%
I knew who James was,
he was on the phone.

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:44.880 align:middle line:90%
He was in California.

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.500 align:middle line:90%
You can't stay there.

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:48.480 align:middle line:90%
You have to go to the hospital.

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:52.480 align:middle line:84%
You can go to a
different hospital.

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:54.200 align:middle line:90%
I changed my clothes.

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.080 align:middle line:84%
It was like dressing
a mannequin.

00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:00.170 align:middle line:84%
Getting into the car, I
fell on the emergency brake

00:01:00.170 --> 00:01:02.530 align:middle line:90%
and broke my glasses.

00:01:02.530 --> 00:01:05.349 align:middle line:84%
In the emergency room
at the second hospital,

00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:10.410 align:middle line:84%
the woman at the desk said
Oh no, you've had a stroke,

00:01:10.410 --> 00:01:13.770 align:middle line:90%
and they wheeled me in.

00:01:13.770 --> 00:01:18.330 align:middle line:84%
The doctor was handsome
and it embarrassed me.

00:01:18.330 --> 00:01:20.930 align:middle line:84%
For a while, I was
talking to a brightness

00:01:20.930 --> 00:01:23.930 align:middle line:90%
in the corner of the room.

00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:29.090 align:middle line:84%
When they tried to give me a
Heparin shot, I threw a bedpan.

00:01:29.090 --> 00:01:32.730 align:middle line:84%
I kept asking for
someone, over and over--

00:01:32.730 --> 00:01:36.370 align:middle line:84%
the friend who took me
to the first hospital.

00:01:36.370 --> 00:01:40.650 align:middle line:84%
I said black tree
when I meant night.

00:01:40.650 --> 00:01:45.650 align:middle line:84%
I said The branches blow
and we sleep in dirt.

00:01:45.650 --> 00:01:47.930 align:middle line:90%
I said Telephone.

00:01:47.930 --> 00:01:49.850 align:middle line:90%
Safe harbor.

00:01:49.850 --> 00:01:55.180 align:middle line:84%
Perhaps you are, perhaps
you are diamonds.

00:01:55.180 --> 00:01:59.000 align:middle line:90%
