e. e. cummings

To the Fish: I hope you know Leo Cohen wrote that song...?

XD

Well then. It was one of those 24-hour bugs, and I'm fine, more or less, today.

And I really don't have much of anything to say.

Oh. I've been meaning to take a hiatus from my youth group. Everything seems to be moving so quickly, and I am standing still. I don't know. I don't know.

"What a Writer"

what i liked about e.e. cummings
was that he cut away from the holiness of the
word
and with charm
and gamble
gave us lines
that sliced through the
dung.

how it was needed!
how we were withering away
in the old
tired
manner.

of course, then came all
the e.e. cummingscopyists.
they copied him then
as the others had
copied Keats, Shelly,
Swinburne, Byron, et
al.

but there was only
one
e.e. cummings.
of course.

one sun.

one moon.

--Charles Bukowski
