John Berryman - Dream Song 8: The weather was fine. They took away his teeth
Work rating: Low

The weather was fine. They took away his teeth,
white & helpful; bothered his backhand;
halved his green hair.
They blew out his loves, his interests. `Underneath,`
(they called in iron voices) `understand,
is nothing. So there.`

The weather was very fine. They lifted off
his covers till he showed, and cringed & pled
to see himself less.
They instaleld mirrors till he flowed. `Enough`
(murmmered they) `if you will watch Us instead,
yet you may saved be. Yes.`

The weather fleured. They weakened all his eyes,
and burning thumbs into his ears, and shook
his hand like a notch.
They flung long silent speeches. (Off the hook!)
They sandpapered his plumpest hope. (So capsize.)
They took away his crotch.
