| [00:13.54] |
It's a still life water color, |
| [00:15.62] |
|
| [00:17.82] |
Of a now late afternoon, |
| [00:19.38] |
|
| [00:21.63] |
As the sun shines through the curtained lace |
| [00:23.96] |
|
| [00:25.57] |
And shadows wash the room. |
| [00:28.25] |
|
| [00:30.31] |
And we sit and drink our coffee |
| [00:32.50] |
|
| [00:36.31] |
Couched in our indifference, |
| [00:37.89] |
|
| [00:38.83] |
Like shells upon the shore |
| [00:41.52] |
You can hear the ocean roar |
| [00:43.18] |
|
| [00:45.24] |
In the dangling conversation |
| [00:47.26] |
|
| [00:49.20] |
And the superficial sighs, |
| [00:51.20] |
|
| [00:53.38] |
The borders of our lives. |
| [00:55.07] |
|
| [00:59.51] |
And you read your Emily Dickinson, |
| [01:01.88] |
|
| [01:03.76] |
And I my Robert Frost, |
| [01:05.76] |
|
| [01:07.57] |
And we note our place with bookmarkers |
| [01:10.38] |
|
| [01:11.51] |
That measure what we've lost. |
| [01:13.45] |
|
| [01:16.26] |
Like a poem poorly written |
| [01:19.67] |
|
| [01:21.67] |
We are verses out of rhythm, |
| [01:24.43] |
|
| [01:25.06] |
Couplets out of rhyme, |
| [01:26.45] |
|
| [01:27.32] |
In syncopated time |
| [01:29.01] |
|
| [01:31.01] |
Lost in the dangling conversation |
| [01:33.26] |
|
| [01:35.14] |
And the superficial sighs, |
| [01:37.20] |
|
| [01:39.08] |
Are the borders of our lives. |
| [01:40.92] |
|
| [01:45.35] |
Yes, we speak of things that matter, |
| [01:48.24] |
|
| [01:49.87] |
With words that must be said, |
| [01:52.37] |
|
| [01:53.62] |
"Can analysis be worthwhile?" |
| [01:55.31] |
|
| [01:57.74] |
"Is the theater really dead?" |
| [02:01.48] |
|
| [02:02.04] |
And how the room is softly faded |
| [02:04.72] |
|
| [02:07.57] |
And I only kiss your shadow, |
| [02:10.00] |
|
| [02:10.57] |
I cannot feel your hand, |
| [02:12.36] |
|
| [02:13.17] |
You're a stranger now unto me |
| [02:15.42] |
|
| [02:16.80] |
Lost in the dangling conversation. |
| [02:19.05] |
|
| [02:21.23] |
And the superficial sighs, |
| [02:22.67] |
|
| [02:25.17] |
In the borders of our lives |
