This poem is about
the death of Lana--

00:00:05.162 --> 00:00:06.870 align:middle line:84%
not the death of Lana
Turner, but the guy

00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:11.320 align:middle line:84%
that was killed in her
bedroom, Stompanato.

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:12.900 align:middle line:90%
You remember that?

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:14.370 align:middle line:84%
That must have
been too long ago.

00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:15.408 align:middle line:90%
All right.

00:00:15.408 --> 00:00:17.700 align:middle line:84%
There was some gangster that
was killed in her bedroom,

00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:21.570 align:middle line:84%
and I wrote this about
it a long time ago.

00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:24.969 align:middle line:84%
It's called "The
Death of a Lucky Man."

00:00:24.969 --> 00:00:27.867 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:27.867 --> 00:00:31.260 align:middle line:90%


00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:33.450 align:middle line:90%
"They were seen, now and then--

00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:35.670 align:middle line:90%
by all the cameras--

00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:39.360 align:middle line:84%
very happy under the
sun in Hollywood.

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:43.020 align:middle line:84%
The brute stem
flowered in her soil.

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:46.080 align:middle line:84%
He starred on the wide
screen of her eyes

00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.650 align:middle line:84%
and found the goddess
without her makeup.

00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:54.330 align:middle line:84%
One afternoon-- they'd said,
that boy's a lucky man!--

00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:55.620 align:middle line:90%
he awoke.

00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:58.980 align:middle line:84%
His great blood was
wetting the bed.

00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:02.490 align:middle line:84%
And, beautiful,
she came to court

00:01:02.490 --> 00:01:06.060 align:middle line:84%
dressed in a little
grief, hot from the flame

00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:09.410 align:middle line:84%
upon the altar
between her thighs."

00:01:09.410 --> 00:01:10.000 align:middle line:90%
