Dream Song 4



Dream Song 4
—for John Berryman

__________________

Filling his young delicious mouth—
With a fat hamburger at Dick’s
Drive-In on Broadway

I cruised him hungrily—
Feigning a lack of interest but
Actually fainting deep inside
_______________

Henry’s eyes glazed—
He hadn’t been that hot in years
Dazed, delirious and despairing

The slobs come & go—
Dick’s Drive-In buzzes with
Fags and skinny college boys
________________

Despite all the male beauty—
And hot bulging crotches
And sleek handsome curvatures

Henry’s still bored to tears—
The taste of his cheeseburger
Boring and the French fries too
