00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.110 align:middle line:90%


00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:06.810 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, here's another love
song to a friend of mine

00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:09.750 align:middle line:90%
who committed suicide.

00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:14.790 align:middle line:84%
I started to fake it and make
pretend that it was to a woman.

00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:15.960 align:middle line:90%
But it was really to a man.

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:21.118 align:middle line:90%
So it goes like this.

00:00:21.118 --> 00:00:21.660 align:middle line:90%
"The Butcher!

00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:23.580 align:middle line:90%
What a Shock!"

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:27.165 align:middle line:84%
The epigraph is, we have been
well and truly had, Pascal.

00:00:27.165 --> 00:00:30.300 align:middle line:90%


00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:34.080 align:middle line:84%
What a jewel the view is
from the furnished room,

00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:38.610 align:middle line:84%
flashing with red, green,
and orange traffic lights--

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:43.500 align:middle line:84%
That's dancing!, and it
sings as a general sound.

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:47.160 align:middle line:84%
What a crystal the
air is, metrical

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:50.820 align:middle line:84%
in structure clear
in the open-work,

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:54.570 align:middle line:84%
burning at its joints,
and moving in its body

00:00:54.570 --> 00:01:00.510 align:middle line:84%
is ordered everywhere as
forces products in pure chance.

00:01:00.510 --> 00:01:05.880 align:middle line:84%
What an honor to be in it,
even as a flaw, Oh fracture

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:10.020 align:middle line:90%
of a tree in solid quartz!

00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:14.580 align:middle line:84%
But I had to look away and
down the open trap-door

00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:19.110 align:middle line:84%
in the center of the room,
into the cellar hole where

00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:21.710 align:middle line:90%
I have not yet fallen.

00:01:21.710 --> 00:01:25.880 align:middle line:84%
The man-faced bat-winged
worm looked up

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:30.360 align:middle line:84%
from his work on my
love's corpse falling,

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:34.470 align:middle line:84%
his grin foul with
his lights, and said,

00:01:34.470 --> 00:01:40.560 align:middle line:84%
"So what?, Faller, I come in
the works of your love's wounds,

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.930 align:middle line:90%
foaming.

00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:47.010 align:middle line:90%
My sperm are his worms.

00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:52.420 align:middle line:84%
Love, I have known you in your
change from spring to garbage,

00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:54.150 align:middle line:90%
so I ask you.

00:01:54.150 --> 00:01:57.160 align:middle line:90%
Why is the world so beautiful?

00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:01.980 align:middle line:84%
It has to be all sex
to make us want it here

00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:04.440 align:middle line:90%
against the worm's brief--

00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:06.970 align:middle line:90%
I am the root and teeth.

00:02:06.970 --> 00:02:09.630 align:middle line:90%
What you dream I am.

00:02:09.630 --> 00:02:11.190 align:middle line:90%
You are the meat.

00:02:11.190 --> 00:02:13.650 align:middle line:90%
Run if you can."

00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:17.430 align:middle line:90%
So-- Beget sons against death.

00:02:17.430 --> 00:02:23.790 align:middle line:84%
Get real estate against decay,
and praise physical glory!--

00:02:23.790 --> 00:02:26.430 align:middle line:84%
The stars above
the roof are there

00:02:26.430 --> 00:02:31.200 align:middle line:84%
as God's dust at the
center of this sphere whose

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:32.250 align:middle line:90%
edge is nowhere.

00:02:32.250 --> 00:02:35.550 align:middle line:90%


00:02:35.550 --> 00:02:37.200 align:middle line:90%
That poem is very literary.

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.380 align:middle line:84%
And the last quatrain
comes from Pascal.

00:02:43.380 --> 00:02:45.840 align:middle line:84%
Quatrain before that
comes from somebody else.

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.190 align:middle line:84%
But I didn't need to trouble
you with that, I guess.

00:02:49.190 --> 00:02:50.000 align:middle line:90%
