all ignorance toboggans into know
by e.e. cummings
all ignorance toboggans into know
and trudges up to ignorance again:
but winter's not forever,even snow
melts; and if spring should spoil the game, what then?
all history's a winter sport or three:
but were it five, i'd still insist that all
history is too small for even me;
for me and you,exceedingly too small.
Swoop(shrill collective myth)into thy grave
merely to toil the scale to shrillerness
per every madge and mabel dick and dave
--tomorrow is our permanent address
and there they'll scarcely find us(if they do,
we'll move away still further: into now
