uc e. e. cummings
1. listen: there’s a hell of a good universe next door; let’s go.
2. to be nobody -but- yourself-
in a world which is doing its best,
night and day,
to make you everybody else-
means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight;
and never stop fighting.
3. maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
for whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
