Chansons Innocentes: by e.e. cummings

in Just-

spring when the world is mud-

luscious the little

lame balloonman


whistles far and wee


and eddieandbill come

running from marbles and

piracies and it's

spring


when the world is puddle-wonderful


the queer

old balloonman whistles

far and wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing


from hop-scotch and jump-rope and


it's

spring

and

the

goat-footed


balloonMan whistles

far

and

wee


I know this is the first day of summer but I just love the way e.e. cummings writes. When I is was in highschool my name was Jacquiandbrooke and in elementary school I was Wendyandjacqui. I think I really miss the everydayness of a school friend.
