Awesome Poem
 
I think you guys, yes, guys in particular, will like this poem. It's by e. e. cummings. I know it is written strangely, with the odd placement of parenthesis, but that is how he wrote it. so do not mind it. just read it. It's called "she being brand"

she being Brand

-new;and you
know consequently a
little stiff i was
careful of her and(having

thoroughly oiled the universal
joint tested my gas felt of
her radiator made sure her springs were O.

K.)i went right to it flooded-the-carburetor cranked her

up,slipped the
clutch(and then somehow got into reverse she
kicked what
the hell)next
minute i was back in neutral tried and

again slo-wly;bare,ly nudg. ing(my

lev-er Right-
oh and her gears being in
A 1 shape passed
from low through
second-in-to-high like
greasedlightning)just as we turned the corner of Divinity

avenue i touched the accelerator and give

her the juice,good

(it

was the first ride and believe i we was
happy to see how nice she acted right up to
the last minute coming back down by the Public
Gardens i slammed on

the
internalexpanding
&
externalcontracting
brakes Bothatonce and

brought allofher tremB
-ling
to a:dead.

stand-
;Still)



yeah so guys, if you didn't know what that was about.... then.... i feel bad for you. hahahaha. you must all go kiss the ground that e. e. cummings ever walked on.
