Anyone lived in a pretty how town

This is my favorite poem ever written
by E.E. Cummings


anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating, many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didnt, he danced his did

Women and men (both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isnt they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed (but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow stir by still
anyones any was all to her

everyones married their someones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hoe and then) they
said their nerves they slept their dreams

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes

Women and men (both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain
