recent things I've read

O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting
fingers of
purient philosophers pinched
and
poked


thee,
has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy


beauty.
how oftn have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees squeezing and


buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
(but
true to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic lover
thou answerest


them only with


spring)
~ e.e. cummings

Baffling! More on this later.
