Question

Why does the author most likely use free verse for this excerpt?

Answer 1

Answer:

The reason why the author most likely uses free verse for this excerpt is:

A. The structure imitates casual conversation.

Explanation:

         I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys.

        I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?

"A Supermarket in California" is a poem by author Allen Ginsberg in which the speaker is wandering at night with his imaginary friend. They enter a supermarket, and his friend, who is none other than Walt Whitman, begins asking questions while taking a look at the products. Ginsberg uses free verse in the excerpt in order to show how the questions are asked, imitating casual conversation - without worrying about rhymes or meter.
