    By e. e. cummings

    who knows if the moon’s
    a balloon,coming out of a keen city
    in the sky—filled with pretty people?
    (and if you and i should

    get into it,if they
    should take me and take you into their balloon.
    why then
    we’d go up higher with all the pretty people

    than houses and steeples and clouds:
    go sailing
    away and away sailing into a keen
    city which nobody’s ever visited,where

    always
    it’s
    Spring)and everyone’s
    in love and flowers pick themselves
