The Dangling Conversation |
| [00:29.45] |
It's a still life water color, |
| [00:31.63] |
|
| [00:33.37] |
Of a now late afternoon, |
| [00:35.25] |
|
| [00:36.99] |
As the sun shines through the curtained lace |
| [00:39.44] |
|
| [00:40.82] |
And shadows wash the room. |
| [00:43.33] |
|
| [00:45.51] |
And we sit and drink our coffee |
| [00:47.70] |
|
| [00:51.07] |
Couched in our indifference, |
| [00:52.38] |
|
| [00:53.13] |
Like shells upon the shore |
| [00:54.50] |
You can hear the ocean roar |
| [00:56.81] |
|
| [00:59.62] |
In the dangling conversation |
| [01:01.67] |
|
| [01:03.44] |
And the superficial sighs, |
| [01:05.11] |
|
| [01:07.42] |
The borders of our lives. |
| [01:08.73] |
|
| [01:13.24] |
And you read your Emily Dickinson, |
| [01:16.23] |
|
| [01:17.30] |
And I my Robert Frost, |
| [01:19.31] |
|
| [01:20.99] |
And we note our place with bookmarkers |
| [01:23.45] |
|
| [01:24.75] |
That measure what we've lost. |
| [01:26.62] |
|
| [01:29.37] |
Like a poem poorly written |
| [01:31.56] |
|
| [01:34.36] |
We are verses out of rhythm, |
| [01:36.68] |
|
| [01:37.56] |
Couplets out of rhyme, |
| [01:39.12] |
|
| [01:39.74] |
In syncopated time |
| [01:41.67] |
|
| [01:45.30] |
Lost in the dangling conversation |
| [01:47.23] |
|
| [01:47.92] |
And the superficial sighs, |
| [01:49.54] |
|
| [01:51.35] |
Are the borders of our lives. |
| [01:53.66] |
|
| [01:57.28] |
Yes, we speak of things that matter, |
| [01:59.27] |
|
| [02:01.58] |
With words that must be said, |
| [02:03.08] |
|
| [02:05.09] |
"Can analysis be worthwhile?" |
| [02:07.11] |
|
| [02:08.54] |
"Is the theater really dead?" |
| [02:10.47] |
|
| [02:13.22] |
And how the room is softly faded |
| [02:15.65] |
|
| [02:18.46] |
And I only kiss your shadow, |
| [02:20.58] |
|
| [02:21.14] |
I cannot feel your hand, |
| [02:22.83] |
|
| [02:23.70] |
You're a stranger now unto me |
| [02:25.95] |
|
| [02:27.13] |
Lost in the dangling conversation. |
| [02:29.51] |
|
| [02:31.63] |
And the superficial sighs, |
| [02:33.31] |
|
| [02:35.37] |
In the borders of our lives |
| [02:40.30] |
|
| [02:40.99] |
|
