you being in love <br />will tell who softly asks in love, <br /> <br />am i separated from your body smile brain hands merely <br />to become the jumping puppets of a dream? oh i mean: <br />entirely having in my careful how <br />careful arms created this at length <br />inexcusable, this inexplicable pleasure-you go from several <br />persons: believe me that strangers arrive <br />when i have kissed you into a memory <br />slowly, oh seriously <br />-that since and if you disappear <br /> <br />solemnly <br />myselves <br />ask "life, the question how do i drink dream smile <br /> <br />and how do i prefer this face to another and <br />why do i weep eat sleep-what does the whole intend" <br />they wonder. oh and they cry "to be, being, that i am alive <br />this absurd fraction in its lowest terms <br />with everything cancelled <br />but shadows <br />-what does it all come down to? love? Love <br />if you like and i like,for the reason that i <br />hate people and lean out of this window is love,love <br />and the reason that i laugh and breathe is oh love and the reason <br />that i do not fall into this street is love."<br /><br />Edward Estlin Cummings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-being-in-love/
