Seven Poems, VII - e.e. cummings

[aimlesswanderer]

who knows if the moon's
a balloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
(and if you and i should

get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people

than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited,

I love e.e.cummings. He's one of my all-time favorites. Thank you so much for sharing this!

You are very welcome. Honestly, I don't usually like much of cummings (possibly because my own poetry relies heavily on imagery rather than punctuation) but I found this piece beautifully put and the ideas - novel.
