e. e. cummings!!! (1894-1962. I have never believed that poetry could be more creative and original and trust me, you can understand it! It is as if cummings is writing as a child but revealing some sort of wisdom…)
IF EVERYTHING HAPPENS THAT CAN'T BE DONE
IF EVERYTHING HAPPENS THAT CAN'T BE DONE


If everything happens that can't be done
(and anything's righter
than books
could plan)
the stupidest teacher will almost guess
(with a run
skip
around we go yes)
there's nothing as something as one

one hasn't a why or because or although
(and buds know better
than books
don't grow)
one's anything old being everything new
(with a what
which
around we go who)
one's everything so

so world is a leaf so tree is a bough
(and birds sing sweeter
than books
tell how)
so here is away and so your is a my
(with a down
up
around again fly)
forever was never till now

now I love you and you love me
(and books are shuter
than books
can be)
and deep in the high that does nothing but fall
(with a shout
each
around we go all)
there's somebody calling who's we

we're anything brighter than even the sun
(we're everything greater
than books
might mean)
we're everyanything more than believe
(with a spin
leap
alive we're alive)
we’re wonderful one times one
