00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:04.410 align:middle line:90%
Number three.

00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:09.000 align:middle line:84%
"The poet's eye,
obscenely seeing,

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.940 align:middle line:84%
sees the surface of the round
world with its drunk rooftops

00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:18.270 align:middle line:84%
and wooden olseaux
on clotheslines.

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:21.210 align:middle line:84%
And it's clay males and
females with hot legs

00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:25.590 align:middle line:84%
and rosebud breasts
in roll away beds.

00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:28.860 align:middle line:84%
And its trees,
full of mysteries.

00:00:28.860 --> 00:00:32.490 align:middle line:84%
And it's Sunday parks,
and speechless statues.

00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:35.970 align:middle line:84%
And it's America with its ghost
towns, and empty Ellis islands,

00:00:35.970 --> 00:00:39.780 align:middle line:84%
and its surrealist landscape of
mindless prairies, supermarket,

00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:43.110 align:middle line:84%
suburbs, teem heated
cemeteries, cinerama holy days,

00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:46.110 align:middle line:90%
and protesting cathedrals.

00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:52.560 align:middle line:84%
A kiss proof world of plastic
toilet seats, tampax and taxis,

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:58.650 align:middle line:84%
drugged store cowboys,
and Las Vegas virgins.

00:00:58.650 --> 00:01:03.750 align:middle line:84%
Disowned Indians, and cinemad
matrons, unroman senators,

00:01:03.750 --> 00:01:07.860 align:middle line:90%
and conscientious non-objectors.

00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:13.020 align:middle line:84%
And all the other fatal,
shorn-up fragments

00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:19.380 align:middle line:84%
of the immigrant's dream
come too true and mislaid

00:01:19.380 --> 00:01:21.090 align:middle line:90%
among the sunbathers."
