You know, this one is almost as stupid as it is profound:
XVIII
E.E. Cummings
mr youse needn't be so spry
concernin questions arty
each has his tastes but as for i
i likes a certain party
gimmie the he-man's solid bliss
for youse
a pretty girl who naked is
worth a million statues
Now this is a quality insult:
If I Should Sleep With A Lady Called Death
E. E. Cummings
if I should sleep with a lady called death
get another man with firmer lips
to take your new mouth in his teeth
(hips pumping pleasure into hips).
Seeing how the limp huddling string
of your smile over his body squirms
kissingly, I will bring you every spring
handfuls of little normal worms.
Dress deftly your flesh in stupid stuffs,
phrase the immense weapon of your hair.
Understanding why his eye laughs,
I will bring you every year
something which is worth the whole,
an inch of nothing for your soul.

People are going to feel comfortable with themselves by saying "Oh, I'm praying for the victims, so I'm doing my part."
