The poem by Ted Berrigan. The title “Red shift” people will imagine to love, angry, blood the scientist term. The author Ted Berrigan suggests that the country, because a living example of a broken dream. He used setting and his emotional to point out.
The setting of the poem taking place is in February, it’s a cold season. “Eyes penetrating the winter twilight at 6th & Bowery in 1961. Homeless children and poor people are on the street such as 6th Bowery in New York
The speaker was clam, but disappointed. The air and smoke represent pollution; He was unhappy with pollution American life styles, and smoke to have character and lean in. “He disappointed how easily American conforms to the life style. Allen is a movie, Frank disappearing in the air.” I think Frank have relationship with the speaker. He was disappointed that Frank also conforms.
He was remembering how nice people living in twenty years ago and now, everything arrange. “Everything love, children, hundreds of them, money marriage- ethics, a politics of grace.” So the Great Depression most people out that is the “American dream” during the Great Depression most people become homeless and unemployment. They lost their job and children are hunger.
Berrigan writes “I will never die….I will never go away…and you never escape from me” He seems the weakness of American society. He don't want American people keep making the same mistake but it’s up to those who have already conformed to redeem themselves and ht just remain who haven’t conformed. “I’m only pronouns of I’m all of them of I didn't ask of this.” It was not one man can remake American. He want to but he couldn't. I think he write this poem that want people don't conform the bad society general mood. The poet believe that people have to power to say no.
