happy halloween

halloween. why am i sitting and reading e.e cummings?

i don't know. no trick or treaters.

i remember being 14 and sitting in a denny's... a girl told me about e.e cummings. i then bought a collection of his poems the next day.

i like this one right now...

your little voice...
your little voice
Over the wires came leaping
and i felt suddenly
dizzy
With the jostling and shouting of merry flowers
wee skipping high-heeled flames
courtesied before my eyes
or twinkling over to my side
Looked up
with impertinently exquisite faces
floating hands were laid upon me
I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing
up
Up
with the pale important
stars and the Humorous
moon
dear girl
How i was crazy how i cried when i heard
over time
and tide and death
leaping
Sweetly
your voice
 
and so it goes. a new week coming. let's see what happens.
