e. e. cummings

Like the burlesque comedian, I am abnormally fond of that precision which creates movement.
e. e. cummings
The mind is its own beautiful prisoner. Mind looked long at the sticky moon opening in dusk her new wings then decently hanged himself,one afternoon. The last thing he saw was you naked amid unnaked things.
e. e. cummings
Listen there's a hell of a good universe next door: let's go.
e. e. cummings

Who knows if the moon's / a balloon, coming out of a keen city / in the sky - filled with pretty people?
