[00:02.24]"it's so beautiful here," she says,
[00:05.47]"this moment now and this moment, now."
[00:13.80]and i never thought i would find her here:
[00:20.11]flannel and satin, my four walls transformed.
[00:27.51]but she's looking at me, straight to center,

[02:30.77]who are you, echoing street signs?
[02:36.00]who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover,
[02:42.22]dark curtains drawn by the passage of time?
