Henry sats in de bar & was odd, <br />off in the glass from the glass, <br />at odds wif de world & its god, <br />his wife is a complete nothing, <br />St Stephen <br />getting even. <br /> <br />Henry sats in de plane & was gay. <br />Careful Henry nothing said aloud <br />but where a Virgin out of cloud <br />to her Mountain dropt in light, <br />his thought made pockets & the plane buckt. <br />'Parm me, lady.' 'Orright.' <br /> <br />Henry lay in de netting, wild, <br />while the brainfever bird did scales; <br />Mr Heartbreak, the New Man, <br />come to farm a crazy land; <br />an image of the dead on the fingernail <br />of a newborn child.<br /><br />John Berryman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-song-5-henry-sats-in-de-bar-amp-was-odd/
