e.e. cummings - there are so many tictoc...

there are so many tictoc
    
    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)

Poet: e.e. cummings (e.e. cummings Art) Poem: there are so many tictoc... Comment 4 of 4, added on June 14th, 2009 at 8:10 AM. The "toc"s and "tic"s add to the whole meaning of the poem as they contribute to his point on life in the Spring time (better yet, Life how it always Should Be). He makes the point that the clock interrupts the flow of time, just as they are interrupting the flow of the poem.

I feel the sounds add a lot to the message. They... add a sense of passage to me. dan More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem? Perhaps you are trying to analyze it?
