You might find
something more jolly.

00:00:02.970 --> 00:00:06.150 align:middle line:84%
It's not a great deal
in here of that kind.

00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:09.060 align:middle line:84%
Well, here's a poem, which
is essentially a game.

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:11.610 align:middle line:84%
It's called "The
Wars of Adolescence."

00:00:11.610 --> 00:00:15.570 align:middle line:90%
It's that kind of poem which--

00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:16.543 align:middle line:90%
it's an organic poem.

00:00:16.543 --> 00:00:18.960 align:middle line:84%
It simply pulls out of every
statement that's gone before.

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.020 align:middle line:84%
It's something strange
and something hopefully

00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:24.070 align:middle line:84%
interesting, clears up
at the end of the poem.

00:00:24.070 --> 00:00:26.400 align:middle line:84%
It's essentially about the
sexual wars of adolescence

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:28.858 align:middle line:84%
that one has when one is young
and doesn't understand quite

00:00:28.858 --> 00:00:29.640 align:middle line:90%
what's happening.

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.890 align:middle line:84%
And again, it clears itself
up at the end of the poem,

00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:33.330 align:middle line:90%
I think.

00:00:33.330 --> 00:00:35.460 align:middle line:90%
"The Wars of Adolescence."

00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:37.290 align:middle line:90%
Think of the soul.

00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:40.450 align:middle line:84%
The soul thinks
entirely of the body.

00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:42.330 align:middle line:90%
The body is out walking.

00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:48.120 align:middle line:84%
The soul in a silk jacket moans
for its destructible friend.

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:51.210 align:middle line:84%
The Civil Aeronautics Board
leaped into the mountains.

00:00:51.210 --> 00:00:53.550 align:middle line:90%
They were seeking a cause.

00:00:53.550 --> 00:00:56.340 align:middle line:84%
A dress blew
laconically toward them.

00:00:56.340 --> 00:00:59.040 align:middle line:84%
It was preceded by
teary handkerchiefs,

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:01.620 align:middle line:90%
not unlike souls.

00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:04.650 align:middle line:84%
Later we compared
notes as a college.

00:01:04.650 --> 00:01:08.310 align:middle line:84%
The pilot and crew having passed
up these ridiculous flights

00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:09.930 align:middle line:90%
were out walking.

00:01:09.930 --> 00:01:12.390 align:middle line:90%
Suddenly, one looked up.

00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:18.660 align:middle line:84%
Trembling with anxiety, I looked
up your address, your dress.

00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:21.890 align:middle line:84%
Every spring another
attempt was made.

00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:25.290 align:middle line:90%
