Hey Paul, hi rowens,
Thanks for the comments.
I started this one many years ago and just now re-visited it. It's a "rowdy renga", 5-7-5 7-7 structure throughout, but without the other poets.
It's also based upon the personal experience of playing in many dives. HEY! Look Ma, that's me on the Mississippi saxophone, aka harmonica.
Seems like a whole other lifetime ago now, but people still remind me that I did indeed live it, to which I guess I should just say "thanks", or maybe, "you're mistaking me for someone else." Either way, I never considered it "misspent youth."
