for life's not a paragraph

Apparently it's an e.e. cummings day. I doubt I will actually manage to post poetry every day of April, but it's a nice idea and worth a try.

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 far 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 eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

~ e. e. cummings, since feeling is first
