I've not had much to say as of late. I find my life repititously repeating, and nothing so new to talk about. Sometimes, I'll read my last entry and think;
"gah!! this is cripe!" (my new word that mean crap/shite)
Sounds like a word doesn't it?
I'll never get credit for it...
Anyhow, so, I find myself, sitting in front of the blank blog entry screen and thinking, "What the hell am I gonna say?" I don't really have anything new to report... or to whine about, for that matter.
So, what do I do? Where do I go? When no one is on line despite it's eleven-eleven and no one's listening :P
I go to E.E. Cummings. And I read, and I feel, and I think. And I find a million new poems (despite the fact that I've gone through the book a million times) and I figure that, if I don't have anything to say, I'll just share poetry. That's like me, that works for me. I just counted, I have twenty bookmarks in it.
And since we are talking about the man ( the myth, the legend) E.E. Cummings, I will put a poem by him. And I'm going to put into bold text my favorite line from the poem.
You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.
Come with me, then,
And we'll leave it far and far away--
(Only you and I, understand!)
You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of,
And are a little tired now;
Tired of things that break, and--
Just tired.
So am I.
But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,
And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart--
Open to me!
For I will show you the places Nobody knows,
And, if you like,
The perfect places of Sleep.
Ah, come with me!
I'll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,
That floats forever and a day;
I'll sing you the jacinth song
Of the probable stars;
I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,
Until I find the Only Flower,
Which shall keep (I think) your little heart
While the moon comes out of the sea.
e.e. cummings
I love E.E. Cummings.... we read a lot of his stuff in my Great Works class in high school.
