9. and also NINE






Me contemplative at the Museum-Photo by Theresa LoSchiavo 

9.
 by E.E. Cummings

there are so many tictoc
clocks everywhere telling people
what toctic time it is for
tictic instance five toc minutes toc
past six tic

Spring is not regulated and does
not get out of order nor do
its hands a little jerking move
over numbers slowly

we do not
wind it up it has no weights
springs wheels inside of
its slender self no indeed dear

nothing of the kind.

(So,when kiss Spring comes
we'll kiss each kiss other on kiss the kiss
lips because tic clocks toc don't make
a toctic difference
to kisskiss you and to
kiss me) 



The bloom upon my shamrock

Nine
by M.S.
 

change is its nature
as numbers go, its transitional
a simple noun in motion
its evolution, an arrow aimed straight for

the binary solution.

sliding-over is its action
rolling in on waves of feeling, reeling, aching,
hesitating at the crossing line
inevitable as Spring,  it's heart beats

logarithmically.

Spring Is Happening Right Now

blackbird from the whitealbum is the anthem here. the anthem of First Bird who in the dark, gives it's one note every morning and is never seen.
