In Just-spring
by e e cummings

in Just- 

spring          when the world is mud- 

luscious

the little 

lame balloonman 

whistles          far          and wee

and eddieandbill come 

running from marbles and 

piracies and it's 

spring 

when the world is puddle-wonderful 

(video: Caleb & Jesse Fegan, Julia Creek, Queensland, Australia)

the queer 

old balloonman whistles 

far          and             wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing 

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and 

it's 

spring 

and 

         the 

                  goat-footed 

balloonMan          whistles 

far 

and 

wee
