e.e.cummings on kisses vs wisdom

since feeling is first
who pays attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
-the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelid's flutter which says

we are for each other:then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis


Now I dunno about you
but this dude sure hit
that nail hard and square
on the head.

I would trade a whole buncha stuff in my head for real good kisses.

And my blood definitely approves!
