[00:48.08] Comes the golden Light of the Dogday afternoon...
[00:59.36] waiting for the sacred Hour when he comes to my Room.
[01:10.34] He brings me Flowers beautiful, he's been doing that for Years,
[01:21.35] and photographic Memories, Trophies of his... Victories...
[01:55.39] Vouchers of Conquests, boldly flagged, streaming high... on Mass of
[02:03.44] Battle-ships,
[02:06.97] sailing on the troubled Seas,
[02:10.30] Waters of dull Aquaintances,
[02:16.82] spread out on the Blackness here of this shroud-like tablecloth crocheted...
[02:28.06] glossy Evidance of Lust, of all the handsome Men he had.
[03:01.63] Like an Assassin's Game of Cards,
[03:07.38] unshuffled Oracle of Love,
[03:13.14] of one Nightstands, half hearted Loss,
[03:17.86] stolen Kisses, past Jerk-offs.
[03:24.83] Liassons that went nowhere,
[03:29.21] fleeting Moments, without Hope or Care,
[03:35.53] all laid out now before me here
[03:39.59] between Dessert Plates & cups of Tea.
[03:47.01] I feel for him
[03:51.12] as I feel for no other Man,
[03:57.98] but Sadness is the only Thing
[04:02.71] that he and I will ever share...
[04:57.59] Each Polaroid, it bears a young,
[05:02.32] but slightly out-of-focus Face,
[05:08.74] white Teeth exposed in Flashlight-smiles,
[05:14.25] well-defined Bodies, strong & tanned...
[05:20.68] Names & Numbers, Cyphers traced
[05:25.64] like Promises upon each Frame,
[05:31.35] according to the features shown;
[05:36.18] sadly, all poses look the same.
[05:42.64] I hardly speak, I rarely do,
[05:48.27] my role is just to sit & listen
[05:53.61] to the Tales he unfolds, offers to me,
[05:59.49] his palest "Hunt of Agony"...
[06:05.31] the sexless priest,
[06:07.82] the joyless Clown,
[06:10.98] who never judges, only frowns,
[06:16.65] Sipping tea & offering Chocolate Cake,
[06:21.67] for it does concole the Heart that lies in Ache.
[07:22.00] The fading portraits on my walls,
[07:27.10] dead people I have never met,
[07:32.87] unlike his photos, Trophies all,
[07:38.54] decount to Lovers, Men he had...
[07:44.84] I feel for him
[07:48.12] as I feel for no other Man,
[07:55.42] but Sadness is the only Thing
[08:00.54] that he and I will ever share...
