m.e.h.

E.e. cummings i love you
because of your misuse of the English language
the idea that you have the ability to overtake
punctuation because of some form of poetic

license and i often wonder
if you thought that you
were so much more creative than the rest of humanity
so superior and better educated because
of your old harvard alma mater

E.e. cummings i love you
sitting there with your head at a tilt
in your fine linen shirt untucked
the first three buttons undone (revealing

a grizzly bear chest)
you leaned on the table and smoked a
filterless cigarette sporting your trilby hat
looking particular and exaggerated

E.e. cummings i love you because
youre consistently showing and standing
me up everyday of the week
as I sit by the telephone

waiting
for the calls that never
come because you don’t give two
shits about me E.e. cummings

i hate you
