00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:07.500 align:middle line:84%
Here's a little poem they wrote
after the first poetry reading

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:11.310 align:middle line:84%
I went to, which
was around 1950.

00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:12.900 align:middle line:84%
And I heard William
Carlos Williams

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:16.605 align:middle line:90%
read at some school somewhere.

00:00:16.605 --> 00:00:21.030 align:middle line:84%
It's called "For William
Carlos, Williams."

00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:25.260 align:middle line:84%
When you came and you talk and
you read with your private zest

00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:28.470 align:middle line:84%
from the varicose
marble of the podium,

00:00:28.470 --> 00:00:34.780 align:middle line:84%
the lovers of literature paid
you be there almost cried

00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:35.280 align:middle line:90%
again.

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.830 align:middle line:90%


00:00:37.830 --> 00:00:39.870 align:middle line:84%
When you came and
you talked and you

00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:43.080 align:middle line:84%
read with your private guests
from the varicose marble

00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:46.350 align:middle line:84%
of the podium, the
lovers of literature

00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:50.550 align:middle line:84%
paid you the tribute of their
almost total inattentional.

00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:55.080 align:middle line:84%
Although, someone when you
spoke of a pig did squirm,

00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:59.190 align:middle line:84%
and it is only fair to
report another giggle,

00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:00.840 align:middle line:90%
but you didn't care.

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.260 align:middle line:84%
You seemed above remarking
we were not your friend.

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:07.260 align:middle line:84%
You hung around inside
the rimmed circles

00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:11.610 align:middle line:84%
that you are having glasses
and smiled, and so fast

00:01:11.610 --> 00:01:13.530 align:middle line:90%
the lonely evening.

00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:18.240 align:middle line:84%
In an hour of cooking, your
honesty build your tolerance.

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:20.880 align:middle line:84%
When it was over
and you sat down,

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:24.030 align:middle line:84%
and the chairman got up and
smiled and congratulated

00:01:24.030 --> 00:01:26.130 align:middle line:90%
you and shook your hand.

00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:31.410 align:middle line:84%
I want the professor a neat
bow tie and enormous tree.

00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:35.440 align:middle line:84%
Who patted a faint praise with
the sufficiently damn strange

00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:39.080 align:middle line:84%
spittle from his
pipe then slammed.

00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:50.498 align:middle line:90%
