ee.

since feeling is first
who pays any 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 eyelids' 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

-ee cummings

fun.plugs.


i think electrical outlets and wires are the ugliest part of a whole. the idea that your electrical appliances are attached to the wall by a wire! just appalls me. i cannot wait until the world is totally wireless. the 22 series plug designed by omer arbel for bocci may just hold me over in the meantime.
