GUEST
COLUMNIST:
Our guests are being fashionably late, or they've fallen asleep
in the green room. While we've had promises from many, we'll have to impose on
our Letters Editor for this issue's Guest Columnist, again.
two poems concerning e.e. cummings
by t.e. lawrence |
www.eecummings.com
or
you wanna make a capital case of it?
mr. e.e. cummings would've loved the internet
he could
send his poems without a stamp or a chance of getting wet
he'd chat online;
write overtime, to satisfy his muse
but a carpal wrist leaves a writer pissed,
when he can only scan the news
his time has come with the internet,
'though he wrote in black and white,
you have to confess, as you type your
address, that his was the way that was right. |
a texan writes
to e.e. cummings
To most of us here in Texas, your poems seem kind of strange.
Of course, we
prefer our cowboy songs when we're ridin' on the range.
You Eastern guys
aren't all that wise; in fact your brains are mixed.
We might never claim
our fifteen minutes of fame,
But we'd at least get our typewriter fixed.
