@batteddy He got tired of reading it saying, "I don't really feel like reading anymore. I just sorta haven't got any kind of steam" there is a much livelier reading on youtube

This sounds like the first recording from Reed College, 1955 or 1956. It strats rather "slow" but takes up speed after about 6 min and the towards the end. He must have read the poem a couple of hundered times in 40 years - I've heard him reading it in the seventies and eighties and it never sounded the same, he always read it different in style and pronounciation and emotion ...

@batteddy I am starting to think it was just age- what year was this recorded?
Really?!!? THAT'S how he reads it??? I thought it would be so much...faster. Frenetic. Frantic. I mean...it is written in long sentences said to be just long enough to say in one breath. I'm frankly disappointed by this reading.
