O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting
fingers of
prurient philosophers pinched
and
poked
thee...
how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and
buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
(but
true
to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover
thou answerest
them only with
spring)
- e.e. cummings, adapt. Ryan Harper
