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

I wonder where Bud Abbott was born? Uhh, that I know. Jersey, also. Asbury Park. Uh, 1895, maybe. - You knew that? - Oh, hell, yeah, man. I know a lot of shit about a lot of shit.

- 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.

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.
