may my heart always be open to little
by e. e. cummingsOriginal Language English
may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile
 | -- from E.E. Cummings: Complete Poems 1904-1962, by e. e. cummings |

Boy... e.e. cummings.
Any commentary or thoughts I might choose to share would be too linear. What would cummings say?
far better to roll wordlets with otherthan meanings
and let them pool slow in the honey-glad heart
Or, I can just reread the poem...
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
Have a wonderful day!
