John Berryman - Dream Song 3: A Stimulant for an Old Beast

Acacia, burnt myrrh, velvet, pricky stings. br —I'm not so young but not so very old, br said screwed-up lovely 23. br A final sense of being right out in the cold, br unkissed. br (—My psychiatrist can lick your psychiatrist.) Women get under br things. br br All these old criminals sooner or later br have had it. I've been reading old journals. br Gottwald & Co., out of business now. br Thick chests quit. Double agent, Joe. br She holds her breath like a seal br and is whiter & smoother. br br Rilke was a jerk. br I admit his griefs & music br & titled spelled all-disappointed ladies. br A threshold worse than the circles br where the vile settle & lurk, br Rilke's.
