e. e. cummings

Picture
E. E. Cummings

there are greater   poets
                        perhaps
but there is only        one
           
                  cum
                         m  
                             i
                               n
                                 g
                                   s

to be nobody but  yourself
Plato did not say         this
or we wouldn’t believe    it
            he heard us
(all)
            in the silence
unknowingly
            we spoke to him
            and
he sent us an    old    word       
flying over the new        yet
        unnamed avenue
a                    n                  d
            we heard him
whisssssssssssssspering
