PART 3 · LESSON 23 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

While the City Sleeps

Tee and Bee's flat near Wongwian Yai, the film on the laptop and no words yet: the film has no words, you write the script; me, in Thai; you read aloud every week; while the city sleeps, the river is already awake; while the city sleeps, the boat has already left; after the boat leaves, the market opens; before the sun is up, the rice is all sold; before the yard opens, the master chooses the wood: joining a film's sentences in time.
