00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:03.650 align:middle line:90%
This is a prose poem.

00:00:03.650 --> 00:00:07.190 align:middle line:84%
[INAUDIBLE] change of pace
here, it is a prose poem.

00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:10.932 align:middle line:84%
In which one of the major
problems facing our society,

00:00:10.932 --> 00:00:14.315 align:middle line:84%
solved, so it's
called The Solution.

00:00:14.315 --> 00:00:18.050 align:middle line:90%


00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:21.260 align:middle line:84%
Finally, they got the singles
problem under control.

00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:22.970 align:middle line:90%
They made it scientific.

00:00:22.970 --> 00:00:25.280 align:middle line:90%
They opened huge sex centers.

00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.620 align:middle line:84%
You can simply go and
state what you want,

00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:30.870 align:middle line:84%
and they would find you
someone who wanted that too.

00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:32.800 align:middle line:84%
You would stand
under a sign saying,

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:35.020 align:middle line:90%
I like to be touched and held.

00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:37.720 align:middle line:84%
And then someone came and
stood under the sign saying,

00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:39.580 align:middle line:90%
I like to touch and hold.

00:00:39.580 --> 00:00:43.120 align:middle line:84%
They would send the two
of you off together.

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:44.830 align:middle line:90%
At first it went great.

00:00:44.830 --> 00:00:47.050 align:middle line:84%
A steady stream of
people under the sign,

00:00:47.050 --> 00:00:50.860 align:middle line:84%
I like to give pain paired up
with a steady stream of people

00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:53.860 align:middle line:84%
from under, I like
to receive pain.

00:00:53.860 --> 00:00:57.640 align:middle line:84%
Foreplay only, no orgasm
found its adherents.

00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.520 align:middle line:84%
And orgasm only, no foreplay
matched up its believers.

00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.650 align:middle line:84%
A loyal Berkeley,
California policeman

00:01:04.650 --> 00:01:07.590 align:middle line:84%
stood under the sign,
married adults, lights out,

00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:10.740 align:middle line:84%
face to face under a sheet,
because that's the only way it

00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:13.540 align:middle line:90%
was legal in Berkeley.

00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:17.290 align:middle line:84%
But it's still been a long time
in his lonely blue law coat.

00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:19.360 align:middle line:84%
And the man under,
I like to be sung

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:22.330 align:middle line:84%
to while white bread is kneaded
on my stomach, had been there

00:01:22.330 --> 00:01:23.455 align:middle line:90%
weeks without a reply.

00:01:23.455 --> 00:01:26.950 align:middle line:90%


00:01:26.950 --> 00:01:29.890 align:middle line:90%
Things began to get strange.

00:01:29.890 --> 00:01:33.250 align:middle line:84%
The love only, no
sex was doing fine.

00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:36.820 align:middle line:84%
The sex only, no love
was doing really well.

00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:39.850 align:middle line:84%
Pair after pair walking out
together like wooden animals

00:01:39.850 --> 00:01:43.570 align:middle line:84%
off a child's ark, but
the line for 38D or bigger

00:01:43.570 --> 00:01:46.060 align:middle line:90%
was getting unruly.

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:49.115 align:middle line:84%
Shouting insults at the
line for 8 inches or longer.

00:01:49.115 --> 00:01:51.620 align:middle line:90%


00:01:51.620 --> 00:01:55.040 align:middle line:84%
And odd isolated signs were
springing up everywhere.

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.582 align:middle line:84%
Retired schoolteacher
and parakeet, no leather.

00:01:59.582 --> 00:02:02.960 align:middle line:84%
One room, no bath, view
of sausage factory.

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:06.230 align:middle line:90%
The din rose in the vast room.

00:02:06.230 --> 00:02:08.090 align:middle line:84%
The line under, I
want to be fucked

00:02:08.090 --> 00:02:12.140 align:middle line:84%
senseless was so long, huge,
that portable toilets had

00:02:12.140 --> 00:02:14.780 align:middle line:90%
to be added.

00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:17.870 align:middle line:84%
And a minister brought in for
deaths, births, and marriages

00:02:17.870 --> 00:02:19.204 align:middle line:90%
on the line.

00:02:19.204 --> 00:02:21.780 align:middle line:84%
Over under, I want
to fuck senseless,

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:24.510 align:middle line:90%
no one, a pile of guns.

00:02:24.510 --> 00:02:27.120 align:middle line:84%
A hollow roaring filled
the enormous gym.

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.430 align:middle line:84%
More and more people
began to move over to,

00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:31.170 align:middle line:90%
want to be fucked senseless.

00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:34.230 align:middle line:84%
The line snaked around the gym,
the stadium, the whole town,

00:02:34.230 --> 00:02:35.730 align:middle line:90%
out into the fields.

00:02:35.730 --> 00:02:38.910 align:middle line:84%
More and more people joined
it, until fucked senseless

00:02:38.910 --> 00:02:42.330 align:middle line:84%
stretched across the nation in
a huge wide belt like the Milky

00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:42.990 align:middle line:90%
Way.

00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:45.210 align:middle line:84%
And since they had to
name it, they named it.

00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:47.680 align:middle line:90%
They called it the American way.

00:02:47.680 --> 00:03:00.420 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:03:00.420 --> 00:03:06.340 align:middle line:84%
[INAUDIBLE] OK, now
I have three more.

00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:10.480 align:middle line:90%


00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:13.720 align:middle line:84%
I didn't read that
one in Washington.

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:22.000 align:middle line:90%
