There's a poem I wrote
about a business woman.

00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:09.120 align:middle line:84%
I wrote this when
diaphragms were still

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.000 align:middle line:84%
popular before
[LAUGHTER] the pill.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.520 align:middle line:84%
So you can see that
everything in America

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:21.000 align:middle line:84%
suffers from technological
obsolescence-- machinery,

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.370 align:middle line:84%
poetry, love,
everything, you know?

00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:26.820 align:middle line:90%


00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.830 align:middle line:90%
"Poem."

The person who can do
accounts receivable as fast

00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:36.720 align:middle line:84%
as steel machines and
outtalk telephones

00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:41.640 align:middle line:84%
has wiped her business
lipstick off, undone her girdle

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.030 align:middle line:84%
and belts, and
stepped down sighing

00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:48.270 align:middle line:84%
from the black
quoins of her heels

00:00:48.270 --> 00:00:52.830 align:middle line:84%
to be the quiet smiler
with changed eyes.

00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:57.750 align:middle line:84%
After long haired women have
unwired their pencil pierced

00:00:57.750 --> 00:01:01.500 align:middle line:84%
buns, it's an
event with pennants

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:05.880 align:middle line:84%
when the Great Falls of
emotions say that beauty

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:11.310 align:middle line:84%
is in residence, grand
in her hotel of flesh,

00:01:11.310 --> 00:01:17.070 align:middle line:84%
and Venus of the marriage
manual, haloed by a diaphragm,

00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:22.740 align:middle line:84%
steps from the shell Mercenaria
to her constitutional majesty

00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:25.500 align:middle line:90%
in the red world of love.

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:26.000 align:middle line:90%
