Are you, uh, interested in poetry? - Uh, actually, I am, kind of. - Really? - Yeah. - I write poetry. I keep it all in this notebook.

I just remember how it started. "Water falls from the bright air, "falls like hair, "falling across a young girl's shoulders."
Paterson

Yeah, exactly. The picture of the falls made me think of it.

A girl you met? Yeah, no, like a little girl. Like a t... like a ten-year-old girl. Oh! She was on the bus? No, I met her on my way home from work, near the old factories. She was waiting for her mom and her sister and... and I noticed she had a notebook of poems, and she read one to me. From her own secret notebook?

So why don't you recite me something? Just a few little lines, maybe from the love poem. Well I- I can give you a few lines I didn't write. Are they by your hero, Carlo William Carlos? William Carlos Williams. I know, darling. I was teasing.

I'm not sure. Yeah, it's nice there. So remember, you promised to finally make copies of your poems this weekend. I will, as soon as I have some free time. You promised me. This weekend. I will, no, I-I promised.

- What? - Did you ever hear of the old Italian poet called Pet-ra-rch, is that it? Mm, Petrarch. He perfected the sonnet. Um, I read online that one of his early books of poems was called The Secret Book. Just like yours. I didn't know that. You read that? You just happened upon it online? And also that he wrote all his love poems to a beautiful girl called, ta-dah, Laura. That's true. So you have many things in common with other great and famous poets, you see.

Laura, what's all that flour and stuff for? For my cupcakes, remember? Saturday is my turn on the baking booth in the farmer's market. I remembered this morning that, oh, my God, it's the day after tomorrow.

I go through trillions of molecules that move aside to make way for me, while on both sides, trillions more stay where they are.
