    Will, I'm not sufficiently educated or experienced in giving
    a useful critique of this poem; I'll bet Mike would do a
    good job of that.

    But it would help me if you could explain a couple of
    things. Asking them will make me look like a silly fool,
    but I'm down with that.

    I look at "Rastas" and think, huh? Does this refer to
    Rastafarians, those mild-mannered pot-smoking laid-back
    folks from Jamaica? Can that be right? What am I missing?

    And what is meant by "black" in "black pigs of poetry"?

    I wonder whatever happened to Bill Evans?
