Fragmentary Blues Comments

I really like this poem. It's so interesting to me. The instruments you present are puzzling. A viola and a kettle drum...that's kind of avant garde! The words in the poem read like a jazz ditty...there's allot of free for sort of stream of consciousness to the writing, that put together makes for a well done performance poem full of imagery....And I love the opening line. Really sets the mood right up front.
