easy breezy japanesy

I’m really bad at updating this thing.

but i read this poem and really like it. I used to not really like ee cummings but i read some of his poetry earlier this week and fell in love.

here’s one of my favorites:

next to of course god america i.

next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims’ and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn’s early my country
’tis of centuries come and go and are no more
what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by  gosh by gum
why talk of beauty
what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?”

He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water.

pretty good huh?

well i guess thats about it.
