It kind of reminded me of the lazy, dusty image of the dust bowl when no
one had anything. It seems like they don’t have anything to pass the time
(eating, smoking, singing, dying, dreaming). All of these things are
social. Even with death, people tend to die surrounded and cared for by
their loved ones. Sleep is kind of a resignation. The last one is in
parenthesis. This would be noticeable in and of itself, but it draws
attention to the fact that a different punctuation is used for all four
times “come on kid” is said.

i find a lot of ee cummings's poems odd, but they're really good when you
finally understand them. it took a while for me to get this particular
poem, but when i got it, i finally could appreciate it! -_^
