summer reading
So, graduation has come and gone, and I'm nestled once again in central Ohio. Now I'm exploring. I just started preparing for the GRE and have been pulling some things for reading this summer. I need to be ready for the jeopardy game that is the Literature in English GRE...but also I want to read for fun again. It's refreshing really...Since I'm plucking my way through the Columbus Metropolitan Library system, I'll share some of my favorite findings (Lucky you'uns)
My pick today is from 95 poems, E.E Cummings, published in 1958:
8
dominic has
a doll wired
to the radiator of his
ZOOM DOOM
icecoalwood truck a
wistful little
clown
whom somebody buried
upsidedown in an ashbarrel so
of course dominic
took him
home
& mrs dominic washed his sweet
dirty
face & mended
his bright torn trousers (quite
as if he were really her &
she
but)&so
that
's how dominic has a doll
& every now & then my
wonderful
friend dominic depaola
gives me a most tremendous hug
knowing
i feel
that
we & worlds
are
less alive
than dolls &
dream
