what i liked about e.e. cummings <br />was that he cut away from <br />the holiness of the <br />word <br />and with charm <br />and gamble <br />gave us lines <br />that sliced through the <br />dung. <br /> <br />how it was needed! <br />how we were withering <br />away <br />in the old <br />tired <br />manner. <br /> <br />of course, then came all <br />the e.e. cummings <br />copyists. <br />they copied him then <br />as the others had <br />copied Keats, Shelly, <br />Swinburne, Byron, et <br />al. <br /> <br />but there was only <br />one <br />e.e. cummings. <br />of course. <br /> <br />one sun. <br /> <br />one moon.<br /><br />Charles Bukowski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-a-writer/
