They Page #4

---

Shadows fall down,

lights climb.

Clambering lights,

oh, children!

You never stay long enough.

The deepest demarcations

can slowly spread and fade

like any blue tattoo.

Shadows fall down,

lights climb.

Clambering lights, oh children!

You never stay long enough.

Tell me how old I am."

[Araz snoring softly]

[woman] Morning, J.

[dog barking]

Matty, come.

You're picking up

for your dad, yeah?

Uh, the bulbs, the irises.

[woman] Some daffodils too?

- Uh, yeah.

- [woman] Lauren is home?

Yeah, she is.

[woman] Your mom said she'd be

here with the new boyfriend.

Here are some daffodils.

These are the irises.

Plant the irises now,

but the daffodils

should wait until fall.

[indistinct chatter]

Your parents

return on Wednesday?

Uh, no. Monday.

[woman] You look pretty today.

[J] Oh, thanks. We're invited

to a party. See you later.

[woman] Okay, bye.

Have a good time.

[boy 1] It's jammed.

[boy 2] Is that J?

- [boy 2] Hey.

- [J] Hey.

- Hey. How's it going?

- Fine.

[boy 2] I think it's stuck.

No. It's the chain.

[J] You really

need to change this.

Mine was also like this. I took

it to George's dad's store.

So, you and George

hang out together?

[J] No, why?

[boy 2] Aren't you

in the same class?

[J] I'm in his class, but I just go to

his dad's store. We're not friends.

Oh. Your dress.

I'm going to a party later.

[boy 1] No. I mean

you left a stain on it.

I should get going.

[J] It should work now.

Thanks.

[Lauren bustling about

in the kitchen]

[Lauren] J?

[J] Yeah.

[Lauren] Where were you?

I thought you were in your room.

[J] I went to get some

bulbs from Norah.

[Lauren] Okay.

We're making breakfast.

[J] I'll eat later.

I have some stuff to do.

[whispering] B,

G,

Blank.

[breathing heavily]

[whispering] B,

G,

Blank.

[Mitsu meowing]

[water flowing]

[calm instrumental music]

[pouring water]

[footsteps approaching]

[Araz coughing]

Uh. Good morning.

Sorry I scared you.

Lauren has some work to do,

and I thought I could

come and see the green house.

Can I come in after this?

[Araz mumbles]

That one needs water, no?

[J] This one?

No. I'm letting it go dormant.

[Araz] What is that?

[J] These are perennials.

They stop growing

for part of the year.

We stop watering them before fall.

Let them sleep for sometime.

I'll take them to

the basement soon.

[Araz] What are

they called, again? Per...

Pernial?

[J] The ones that

go to sleep are perennials.

But not these ones.

These ones here are annuals.

We grow them at

different times of the year.

They grow and

make flowers and seeds,

get dry, and then they're done.

Annual.

I know nothing about flowers,

especially in English.
