E. E. Cummings

E. E. Cummings

In Just-

in Just-
spring       when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame baloonman
 
whistles       far       and wee
 
and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it’s
spring
 
when the world is puddle-wonderful
 
the queer
old baloonman whistles
far       and         wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing
 
from hop-scotch and jump-rope and
 
it’s
spring
and
 
        the
 
                goat-footed
 
baloonMan       whistles
far
and
wee
