In the poem "Red shift" by Ted Berrigan suggests that life around 1960's in New York was terrible, and disappoint, sad. They have to smoke and drink to fit in the society and no dream for their life. Life is full of unhappy and sad lonely, like a red shift of star they are dying from everything.
Poet show life around 1960’s was disappoint by saying “I drink some American poison liquid are which bubbles and smoke to have character and to lean in” that indicated he himself and everyone else knew alcohol was bad thing, as he compared it with poison and as well as smoking, but in order to fit in New Yorker life, it was an essential requirement for everyone and it is because a character of them.
Poet also suggests life was sad by mention “there’s a song “California Dream”, but no, I won’t do that. I am 43”. In this quote although he was already 43 years old, he didn’t pursue his dream. And he said “I will never go away, & you will never escape from me”. He had dreams that he wanted to achieve all the time but he wasn’t pursue it.
Poet suggests life was unhappy lonely, and dying by saying “it did so and now nothing will ever change. That, and that’s that”. In this quote he said all things they did and they doing was unworthy, basically they just ruing their life and life will not turning right.
Poet had lot emotion and feeling toward life and social style they live. It was full of disappoint and sad, also no one was thinking about change and not pursue their dream. So he just point out the fact of their to all.
