E. E. Cummings, Humanity I Love YouHumanity i love you because you would rather black the boots of success than enquire whose soul dangles from his watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both
parties and because you unflinchingly applaud all songs containing the words country home and mother when sung at the old howard
Humanity i love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink and when you're flush pride keeps
you from the pawn shop and because you are continually committing nuisances but more especially in your own house
Humanity i love you because you are perpetually putting the secret of life in your pants and forgetting it's there and sitting down
on it and because you are forever making poems in the lap of death Humanity
