00:06You're Ed Saksberger. The Ed Saksberger, right? The poet?
00:09That was a long time ago.
00:10You were brilliant. You wrote a masterpiece.
00:12It's as if the poems were written yesterday.
00:15They're moving. They're scathing. They're timeless.
00:17We all think so. My whole group.
00:19Your group?
00:23We're an artistic community of poets and artists, intellectuals.
00:26Unlike those posers over there, they're addicts.
00:29Heroin?
00:30No, the phone.
00:31We reject technology.
00:33As much as we can.
00:34It rocks the planet.
00:39He's pretentious.
00:40Like a dandy.
00:41I've been feeling very inspired since we spoke.
00:43He has airs.
00:44Fancy.
00:44Rich kid.
00:45Stopped writing poetry?
00:46Years ago.
00:47I worked at the post office.
00:48A man of letters.
00:50I guess you could say that.
00:56It's an honor to meet you.
00:58Mr. Saksberg.
01:00Of course.
01:00This is exactly how you would look.
01:03So here is where he writes.
01:05Not yet.
01:05But you will, again.
01:06You might think the boys are silly, but they have connections.
01:09I had my moment. It ended.
01:11This would be your new moment.
01:12To Saksberger. Cheers.
01:15I spoke to my family friend about you.
01:16He's an agent.
01:17He'd like to meet you.
01:18Me? Meet me?
01:19Yes.
01:25You, sir, are not a discovery.
01:28You are a re-discovery.
01:31It's a book of poems that I wrote when I was a kid.
01:34I think you're some kind of intellectual?
01:35Because you wrote some poems 50 years ago?
01:38You have no idea.
01:42You seem particularly interested in Gloria.
01:44Gloria's background is a bit of a mystery.
01:46She likes it that way.
01:47I used to be the youngest one in every group.
01:50And then one day, I became the oldest.
01:52You must have been beautiful when you were young.
01:54I don't even know what I'm doing here.
01:56It is my great honor to reintroduce the great New York poet, Ed Saksberger.
