Theme:Jazz and its impact on listeners.
Title:Dreams of dirigibles
When you imagine inimitable jazz,
Blowing or coming out of trumpet faced musicians,
Then see the unreasonable cripple streak down the torn street,
Then stare into the sea beyond seas,
Throwing his crutch headlong over the past,
And again the sunset as it runs boiling.

This found poem exemplifies the depth of jazz music and its lyrics. Jazz isn't just notes and chords put to paper in order to be played. Jazz is the powerful meaning of everyday hardships and struggles. If you look behind the sound of the instruments and move the instrument from the faces of the musicians behind them, what is left is just the musicians themselves. As you said in the poem "then stare into the seas beyond seas", there is more to something than what you can see on the outside. This poem accurately displays the depth of inimitable jazz.
