Since Feeling is First
E. E. Cummings

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
Will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry

-- the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh,leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

Sometimes people think I lack common sense. I simply have no use for it.
