The question snaps me back to attention. I answer without really thinking. "I guess 'Funeral Blues' by W.H. Auden. I think it was Auden. I suppose that's not very original.'
'I don't know it.'

'I gathered.'
'I'm just clarifying. It's not a blues album.'

'Why do you thin of that poem in particular?'
