I want to read a couple of
poems from this new book.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.215 align:middle line:84%
This one's called
"The Noose of Apathy."

00:00:08.215 --> 00:00:12.970 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.970 --> 00:00:16.120 align:middle line:84%
I saw the executioner
and in his hand

00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:20.260 align:middle line:84%
he bore the noose of apathy
to tighten at my throat.

00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:22.480 align:middle line:84%
Always had I imagined
him otherwise

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.110 align:middle line:84%
and had not thought in
this guise to see him come,

00:00:26.110 --> 00:00:32.450 align:middle line:84%
a sober and fastidious
pedant proffering tedium.

00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:35.780 align:middle line:84%
Now when I think of
death I know its modes.

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:40.340 align:middle line:84%
The lasso in the teacup, the
angel driven from the door.

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:44.525 align:middle line:84%
Most of all that deadly
daily itching sore

00:00:44.525 --> 00:00:47.470 align:middle line:90%
which corrodes and corrodes

00:00:47.470 --> 00:00:52.000 align:middle line:90%
