PdM VI - e e cummings 2 - aia cu masina

Poezia asta se-ntampla sa fie favorita-mi si-s convins ca nu-s singurul. In cazul meu, preferinta nu se bazeaza pe un studiu exhaustiv al operei lui cummings. Pur si simplu, asta-i prima poezie a lui pe care-am citit-o (mai degraba auzit-o), si-am ramas cu ea.

Inainte sa sari in interpretari, se pare ca strazile sus-numite chiar au existat in orasul sau natal. Tatal sau, cu care poetul avea o relatie foarte apropiata, obisnuia sa mestereasca tot timpul ceva, deseori masina.

am pus-o c-o teava de esapament la modul activ

Este de retinut ca inca de la 6 ani si-a manifestat stilul idiosincratic:

FATHER DEAR. BE, YOUR FATHER-GOOD AND GOOD,
HE IS GOOD NOW, IT IS NOT GOOD TO SEE IT RAIN,
FATHER DEAR IS, IT, DEAR, NO FATHER DEAR,
LOVE, YOU DEAR,
