00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:09.910 align:middle line:84%
And I'll recite a
couple of poems, one

00:00:09.910 --> 00:00:13.220 align:middle line:84%
about working at a
rather nice place and one

00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:15.145 align:middle line:84%
about working in an
advertising agency.

00:00:15.145 --> 00:00:23.690 align:middle line:90%


00:00:23.690 --> 00:00:26.000 align:middle line:84%
"On Trading Time
for Life by Work."

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.330 align:middle line:90%


00:00:30.330 --> 00:00:33.330 align:middle line:84%
"The receptionist has
shiny fingernails,

00:00:33.330 --> 00:00:36.600 align:middle line:84%
since she has buffed
them up for hours,

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:42.420 align:middle line:84%
not for profit but for art,
while they, the partners,

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:48.240 align:middle line:84%
have been arguing themselves to
further into ruthless paranoia.

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.100 align:middle line:84%
The accountant said, the
sales representatives

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:56.850 align:middle line:84%
have come out against
the mustard yellow.

00:00:56.850 --> 00:01:02.400 align:middle line:84%
It looks like baby
shit and won as ever.

00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:08.040 align:middle line:84%
In the studio, the artist, art
director, and the copy chief

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:13.080 align:middle line:84%
are wondering out loud
whether a Peace on Earth,

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:17.940 align:middle line:84%
or a Love and Peace on
Earth should go around

00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:22.350 align:middle line:84%
the trumpeting angel
on the Christmas card.

00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:25.990 align:middle line:84%
In this way, the
greeting card company

00:01:25.990 --> 00:01:31.410 align:middle line:84%
worked back and forth across
our first spring afternoon

00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:34.530 align:middle line:90%
like a ferry boat on the river.

00:01:34.530 --> 00:01:39.510 align:middle line:84%
Time was passing, it itself
was staying the same,

00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:43.170 align:middle line:84%
and workers rode it
on the running depths

00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:47.220 align:middle line:84%
while going nowhere back
and forth across the surface

00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:49.050 align:middle line:90%
of the river.

00:01:49.050 --> 00:01:53.710 align:middle line:84%
Profits flow away in this
game, and thank God there

00:01:53.710 --> 00:01:57.920 align:middle line:84%
was none of the transcendence
printed on the products."
