:12:01
To buy my binoculars
I had to save for one year.
:12:06
You see the bridge from here.
:12:08
Every day it lifts
to let a ship go through.
:12:13
It's really fun to be far away
and see someone from up close.
:12:18
Sometimes I read magazines
at work.
:12:20
But mostly I read stuff
that photocopy.
:12:25
I can only read a few lines
from each sheet.
:12:29
Better than nothing.
:12:31
Shakespeare and Cervantes died
on the same day: 23rd of April 1616.
:12:36
They never even met.
:12:38
Cervantes was buried
in a common grave.
:12:41
I don't know
what common grave means.
:12:44
What difference does it make?
:12:46
One of these days
there was a Shakespeare poem.
:12:50
"When I do count the clock
that tells the time.
:12:53
And see the brave day sunk
in hideous night."
:12:55
When I behold the violet
past prime.
:12:58
And sable curls,
all silver'd o'er with white.
:13:00
When lofty trees I see
barren of leaves.
:13:02
Which erst from heat
did canopy the herd.
:13:05
And summer's green
all girded up in sheaves.
:13:08
Borne on the bier with white
and bristly beard.
:13:11
Then of thy beauty
do I question make.
:13:13
That thou among
the wastes of time must go.
:13:16
Since sweets and beauties
do themselves forsake.
:13:18
"And die as fast
as they see others grow.
:13:21
"And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe
can make defense."
:13:25
- The girl's here to get her work.
- Thanks.
:13:28
I didn't get it.
I didn't even read the last line.
:13:31
I don't know what bristly means.
:13:33
I haven't mentioned Marinez.
She'd gone out to pay a bill.
:13:37
She sells magazines,
pencils, erasers, glue.
:13:42
Hot. She knows she's hot.
She wears really tight pants.
:13:47
I have to lie down
to put them on.
:13:50
I imagined the scene,
her lying down, legs up...
:13:54
trying to fit
into those tight pants.
:13:57
I'd better not imagine it,
I'm way out of her league.
