Segment 1

[0165] cur you meet, carry it the time needed for it to love you and you

[0166] Perhaps he had come to that, in spite of
appearances.
[0167] He disappeared, his head on his chest, the smoking

[0168] Let me try and explain. [0169] From things about

Segment 2

[0171] It was in this sense he disappeared. [0172] Looking
away I thought of him, saying, He dwindles, dwindles.
[0173] I knew
what I meant.
[0174] I knew I could catch him, lame as I was. [0175] I had
only to want to.
[0176] And yet no, for I did want to.
