e.e. cummings - who knows if the moon's

who knows if the moon's
a balloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
(and if you and i should

get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people

than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited,where

always
        it's
             Spring)and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves

:) I like being able to peek quickly at poems I like wherever I am with internet access by sticking a bunch of them here [I have mostly just posted one per poet but I think a long time ago I may have plopped another e e one here]
