- l'll get the hang of it. lt's just up here.

- Cool.

Go see that movie with Muhammad.

lt'll teach you a lot about life.

He built a house around me.

Strong beams rooted in earth.

And smooth walls, rich with color.

And a canopy of sky.

Windows reveal a new view.

ln their reflection,

my mouth smiles back,

its curves relaxed.

And the bed, soft as a welcoming hand.

l, who all my life,

had made my home in rented rooms,

the carpets crusted with

the leavings of prior occupants,

now have an address.

This house he built.

This street paved with our love.

l'm sorry.

Me too.

What's happened to us?

l'm just feeling a little lost, these days.

l hate you sometimes.

l hate that you leave me.

l hate you when you come back.

And then sometimes...

...l don't even want you to come back.

lt's just me, babe.

You deserve better.

Yeah.

So do you.

And so do you.

Maybe l lost my touch.

What the hell happened to you?

lt's about time you got here. Get in back.

- Hey Jon, Leo came by looking for you.

- Oh, yeah?

Boy, l'd hate to see that

pretty face of yours get all messed up.

A shocking discovery

this morning in Manhattan.

A baby, barely a week old,

found in a dumpster.

Police heard the child while responding

to a call near the West Side Highway.

The baby is resting in the hospital.

Police have no idea who the mother is

or how her baby ended up

abandoned in the trash.

Change the channel, Harry.

Put on the games.

- What a weird broad she is.

- Sick son of a b*tch.

- What kind of woman would do that?

- Somebody knows.

Somebody knows something.

They're gonna pay.

They think God closed his eyes

and the world got mean.

l never imagined

she would be so perfect.

That every day,

l would glimpse another miracle.

She makes me humble. The way her

eyes gleam like the moon in negative.

The way her body reaches out

to the world, eager to touch and smell

and taste every part of it.

She trusts completely as if the whole

world were as full of love as she is.

And l want so much

to make that true for her.

Topping our newscast an update on

the abandoned baby found in the trash.

Police made the discovery this morning.

A newborn left in a dumpster

near the West Side Highway.

Doctors say the baby had slight bruises,

but is resting comfortably in the hospital.

Police don't know how long the baby

had been there,

where the mother is, or how her child

wound up in the cold, alone.

- What's happening to us?

- What the hell do you mean?

- We're lost.

- You're the one who's lost.

Come back here.

l'm not finished with you yet.

l gotta go to work.

Sit and talk to me, Janie.

Well, l gotta catch the bus. lf l don't...
