Thinking about Elstin

It used to be that parents would
Pop children out of the oven
Like sweet smelling bread
Salty and full of goodness

Nowadays, they bury them
Deep underground
Fermenting them into
Bright and sparkling
Jewels

  2. I'm thinking about writing a biography of Nancy T. Andrews--the only child of e.e. cummings. She was the product of a torrid love affair. She was also mostly ignored by cummings throughout her life.

  3. Hmm, all the more intriguing. There's almost nothing out there on her.
