Supposedly small changes here, but notice the difference in "he was so ashamed that he/left his house in the morning" and the Martinized "he'd be so ashamed that he'd/leave the house in the morning." This mucks it up because originally is has the typically Buk direct and active "he was" and "he left" and changes to "he'd be" and "he'd leave." Why?
And then second stanza:
"I liked the man next door:"
Typically clear direct Buk gets changed to
"me,
I liked the man next door"
WHY?
And
"Goethe, Hegel, Kierkegaard
Nietzsche, Rilke, Frued [sic]"
gets changed to
"Nietzsche, Freud"
WHAT HAPPENED TO RILKE
These changes make absolutely no sense. Completely random and senseless.
I just noticed he even changes the year! Original: "in Los Angeles in 1931" to "in Los Angeles in 1930"
