The other one is an earlier one.

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:12.150 align:middle line:84%
And it's called the "Cooled
Heels Lament Against Frivolity,

00:00:12.150 --> 00:00:13.320 align:middle line:90%
the Mask of Despair."

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.840 align:middle line:90%


00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:21.510 align:middle line:84%
"Dugan's deathward, darling--
you in your unseeable beauty,

00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:25.530 align:middle line:84%
oh, fictitious, legal
person, need be only

00:00:25.530 --> 00:00:31.140 align:middle line:84%
formally concerned, but there
is someone too much here,

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:34.620 align:middle line:90%
perspiring in your waiting room.

00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:39.090 align:middle line:84%
Because I did not listen when
you said, 'Don't call us,

00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:45.090 align:middle line:84%
we'll call you,' your credulous
receptionist believes that I am

00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:49.050 align:middle line:84%
a phony, fairy, Jew,
capitalist-communist spy

00:00:49.050 --> 00:00:50.850 align:middle line:90%
for Antichrist--

[LAUGHTER]

00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:58.590 align:middle line:84%
--a deviated maladjusted
lobbyist for the Whiskey Trust,

00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:00.750 align:middle line:90%
or else accepts me as I am--

00:01:00.750 --> 00:01:01.310 align:middle line:90%
a fool.

00:01:01.310 --> 00:01:04.709 align:middle line:90%


00:01:04.709 --> 00:01:08.160 align:middle line:84%
So, while I sit
here fouling song,

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:12.300 align:middle line:84%
wasting my substance on
the air, the universe

00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:16.560 align:middle line:84%
is elsewhere, out the
window in the sky.

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:23.010 align:middle line:84%
You in your inner office, Muse,
smoking a given, good cigar

00:01:23.010 --> 00:01:28.770 align:middle line:84%
and swapping dated stories
with star salesmen of the soul,

00:01:28.770 --> 00:01:33.060 align:middle line:84%
refuse to hear my novel
pitch while I sit out

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:34.155 align:middle line:90%
here getting old."

00:01:34.155 --> 00:01:37.000 align:middle line:90%


00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.490 align:middle line:84%
So, that's all I'll say about
the poetic life and the--
