  • e.e cummings only wrote his poetry using lowercase letters. i wonder why. maybe his poems were meant to be whispered, like a secret between me and you.
  • i imagine whispering is lower case because YELLING IS UPPERCASE! sorry did i startle you? where was i? oh, e.e.cummings. not the first to use lexigraphy to distract from bad poetry
  • or poor philosophy, I'm looking at you Jacque. e.e. cummings, though, has to be seen through the prism of his life and, more importantly, his times. He couldn't know the dougie nor
