Subject: Re: cummings


I feel very naive here, but I don't know what Dwem and Dweam mean. Is 
this a joke or some sort of jargon that I'm not yet initiated into?

My love for cummings is in some senses defiant because I never knew if he 
counted as 'real poetry' in terms of academia.  I think he's great 
because of his innovative use of language and his amazing way of writing 
happy, beautiful, well-expressed poetry.

However, I will be changing my signature soon and I don't know if it'll 
be to more cummings.  I guess you'll have to wait and see, don.

(sorry if this is off the subject, but I couldn't resist).
By the way, what's the cummings/prostitute connection?

it will become you;and if you are glad 
whatever's living will yourself become.
