A poem set at 2 AM alternates the all-caps lines of a person with this profession with a terse conversation that includes the lines “Say!... Yes?... I’m your… sweetie, ain’t I?” A poet who aligned himself with this profession as a certain “-ologist” declared that two of them will “wash your troubles / … your troubles away!” While observing a person with this profession, the speaker of a poem rhymes “the other night” and“the pale dull pallor of an old gas light” before repeating (*) “He did a lazy sway…. / He did (-5[1])a lazy sway….” (10[1])In that poem, a man with this profession whom the speaker saw on Lenox Avenue “slept like a rock or a man (10[1])that’s dead.” For 10 points, name this profession depicted by Langston Hughes in “The Weary (10[1])Blues.” (10[1])■END■
