Ferlinghett's poem sums up the intricate emotion and behavior of a couple who are no longer interested in each other and carry on together for a show.Just like a beat up old flute that no one plays or the grapes that are just being handed out as a little joke; os is the relationship between the two is a joke that is being carried on for a show.
The banality of life is clearly stated in this poetic expression. Not too long ago and even to this day, couples would carry on their loveless affairs of marriage through years of "terrible depression" and "without any particular expression". This poem might also signify the disconnection that men and women have, lack of communication in relationship, disconnect from each other and lack of appreciation of the beauty around and next to them.
