So, no one before e.e. cummings used a parenthetical expression?
I like the way his poems
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,where
always
it's
Spring)and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves
do that.
From the poem you shall above all things be glad and young...
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance
