That's a beautiful poem. - You really liked it? - Yeah, I really do. I think it's beautiful. "Water Falls". Thank you. It doesn't rhyme exactly. No, but the first two lines do, in a nice way. And some nice little internal rhymes too, I think. Internal rhymes.

Excuse me. Are you OK here, all alone? I'm fine. I'm just waiting for my mom and my sister. She's upstairs, in that building over there. Do you mind if I sit down till your mom comes down? Sure. - Yeah? - Yeah.

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.

- 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.
