From: The Dream Songs:
14:
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/
(repeatedly) '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.
John Berryman 1964

For Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor Adorno.
"To a child returning from a holiday, home seems new, fresh, festive. Yet nothing has changed there since he left. Only because duty has now been forgotten, of which each piece of furniture, window, lamp, was otherwise a reminder, is the house given back this sabbath peace, and for minutes one is at home in the never-returning world of rooms, nooks and corridors in a way that makes the rest of life there a lie. No differently will the world appear, almost unchanged, in its constant feast-day light, when it stands no longer under the law of labour, and when for homecomers duty has the lightness of holiday play." (Theodor Adorno. "Second harvest." Minima Moralia.)

Hey! Look what's shakin' in Connecticut! This Monday, August 25, 10 pm! I'll be doing poetry with Yvon Cormier at a very cool Beat spot in New Haven called Cafe Nine. I've been hitting this place for years now for a quick one en route to Boston, and I can tell you it's got the feel.
The gig is hosted by Edward Leonard, it's called Beatnik 2000 and you can check it out at www. cafenine. com.
No cover. Come on down!
10 pm Monday August, 25 2008 Cafe Nine 250 State Street New Haven, Connecticut 203-789-8281
