Title: On Blues and Poetry
So, i wanted to contribute myself. i was writing down and putting all the categories together: ‘i-ain’t-got-me-no-money,’ ‘i-ain’t-got-me-no-job’ blues, ‘i-ain’t-got-me-no-woman’ blues. and i said, “wait a minute, see, i don’t want to waste no categories, the ‘i-ain’t-got-me-no-money’ blues, ‘i-ain’t-got-me-no-job’ blues, ‘i-ain’t-got-me-no-woman’ blues, hell, them the same thing.” ’cause if i could get me a job, i could make me some money, i could call me a lady. i’d be doing a whole bunch better. so i put them all in the same category
But i wrote other pieces of blues, blues information. because what had happened was that i had found out that, later on, unfortunately, in my education, about people like langston hughes, about people like sterling brown, about people like countee cullen, and jean toomer, and claude mckay
