#34 - a poem in lowercase, square parentheses and invented language
In this episode, little prize for guessing , I read e.e. cummings and his poem [as freedom is a breakfastfood]. This poem is written in trademark cummings style and you must listen to his original recitation at the link I share below. It is a poem about love and life and all time. How love and sky and time are vast and endless. But our lives are but a leaf on the tree of time. And this must make us examine what we think of as right and correct and normal in the world. He turns imagery around and weaves in contradictions. To the reader's surprise they don't seem so far out of the realm of imagination. That is e.e. cummings for you, if you give him a chance, he is acid on toast. Listen in!
