"Dream Song 14," John Berryman

Author: John Berryman

Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
 we ourselves flash and yearn,
 and moreover my mother told me as a boy
 (repeatingly) ‘Ever to confess you’re bored
 means you have no

Inner Resources.’ I conclude now I have no
 inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Peoples bore me,
 literature bores me, especially great literature,
 Henry bores me, with his plights & gripes
 as bad as achilles,

who loves people and valiant art, which bores me.
And the tranquil hills, & gin, look like a drag
 and somehow a dog
 has taken itself & its tail considerably away
 into mountains or sea or sky, leaving
 behind: me, wag.
