a tribute to e. e. cummings



         this write i for little reason other than to waste paper (glory glory whatchadoin)
and to          show the world that i am unique
because im          too lazy to use
capitalization                    orotherpunctuation

im praised for my use of poetic license
but its really just crap grammar
and i bred
a generation of
         dandified elitist socalled poets
         who also think they are different from the rest

when actually my reason for using a lowercase
i when
referring to myself is due to my lack
of self esteem and i am undeserving of an upper
case personal pronoun or capital letters when spelling my name (kd lang went me one better and left out those little dots after her initials i dont know why i didnt think ofthat)
(america how i love thee)
besides it takes much less thought to spell
contractions without apostrophes dont you think and to
runwords together rather than hit the space key (perhaps i was born without thumbs)
         and danged if i could ever figure out when to use a freakin semicolon but
         my biggest problem howeveris not knowing when this poem ends as a period is unknown to me and i go
