[00:13.362]Somebody wrote "tender" in the novel's margins
[00:16.940]As if to remind about a precious force
[00:20.153]In the next paragraph, the protagonist
[00:23.549]Sat down on the belly of a
[00:27.102]Dead horse
[00:33.868]The author I read fell from a window many stories high
[00:40.868]Stretching out to feed pigeons or a stray cat depending on the
[00:47.817]Website
[00:54.583]Whether or not I have
[00:57.169]Or was given a little more time
[01:01.087]There just doesn't seem to be much room
[01:04.953]For a reply
[01:07.644]And it's possible it only belongs
[01:11.301]Where it happened, fine
[01:13.574]According to John
[01:16.003]Fear softens into doubt
[01:18.224]To what do I cling and think is mine, no
[01:24.963]Reply

[01:35.647]Think the last time I came up this way I was younger
[01:38.834]Said your aunt, isn't it a good line?
[01:42.126]We found the garden abandoned
[01:45.130]And that night became dark over
[01:49.518]Chicken and wine
[01:56.284]Documentarians tossing lemmings
[02:00.411]Stunned over the edge
[02:02.371]Wartime juveniles shot and martyred
[02:05.688]For the crime of
[02:10.024]Stealing eggs
[02:17.156]Dinner, by the way, was divine
[02:22.067]I drank the last of the coffee
[02:26.403]Waiting for you to rise
[02:33.926]Whether or not I have
[02:36.643]Or was given a little more time
[02:40.405]There just doesn't seem to be much room
[02:44.245]For a reply
[02:47.014]And it's possible it only belongs
[02:50.645]Where it happened, fine
[02:52.944]According to John
[02:55.399]Fear softens into doubt
[02:57.672]To what do I cling and think is
[03:01.460]Whether or not I have
[03:04.072]Or was given a little more time
[03:07.833]There just doesn't seem to be much room
[03:11.804]For your reply
[03:14.390]And it's possible it only belongs
[03:18.152]Where it happened, fine
[03:20.372]According to John
[03:22.854]Fear softens into doubt
[03:25.074]To what do I cling and think is mine, no
[03:31.866]Reply
[03:41.322]Reply, no
