Come touch me baby in his waking dream <br />disordered Henry murmured. I'll read you Hegel <br />and that will hurt your mind <br />I can't remember when you were unkind <br />but I will clear that block, I'll set you on fire <br />along with our babies <br /> <br />to save them up the high & ruined stairs, <br />my growing daughters. I am insane, I think, <br />they say & act so. <br />But then they let me out, and I must save them, <br />High fires will help, at this time, in my affairs. <br />I am insane, I know <br /> <br />and many of my close friends were half-sane <br />I see the rorschach for the dead on its way <br />Prop them up! <br />Trade us a lesson, pour me down a sink <br />I swear I'll love her always, like a drink <br />Let pass from me this cup<br /><br />John Berryman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-song-131-come-touch-me-baby-in-his-waking/
