a lovely line from e.e. cummings "Tulips and Chimneys"
‘In the street of the sky night walks scattering poems’
e.e.
Cummings is my favorite poet .. followed closely by Leonard Cohen. Fascinating how interchangeable their lines read. One might not know which lines belong to which poet.
Imagine
if you will, Paris. Cummings and Cohen walking arm in arm down the Place de
la Concorde .. to
the Hôtel de Crillon .. sipping late night martinis on the balcony .. tossing
lines back and forth, like jugglers under the Big Top. One-upping each other, choking on their laughter. For in
the street of the sky, night walks .. scattering poems.
