Poet: e.e. cummings (e.e. cummings Art)

The poem shapes itself like thimbles with nipples.
e.e. cummins has the incredible quality of Walt Whitman, making a wordplay, nonseniscal, universal and personal.
It is difficult to understand why he is not as appreciated and enjoyed more by the collegiate "popularity" crowds. To become like a child is a divine quality. so is cummins art.

I would like to say that there is a graphological deviation.

*To me this poem does make sense, every one has different reactions to certain questions when been ask to one...especially if they happen to be personal.
Like in this poem Cummings appears to be asking the reader a question as soon as you start reading...
(will you teach a
wretch to live
straighter than a needle)
in other words.. will you teach a slut to live a decent life?
Now to some readers they might simply say no or yes...but others might be like what the F**k of a question is that? and why the F**k are you interested to know B***H! lol
ask
her
ask
when
and now that Cummings asked you a personal question, he now wants one to know if she would let her self to be straighten up in life by some one else... and when would she be willing to stop being a wreck (or it could be another view as now you being the one to question instead of cummings doing the quesioning)...so now you will make the questionig to this woman...or slut..and of course she might get a bad reaction to your question. You would probably sound like this..
Would you let me teach you to be more decent with your life?...lol damn for sure you'll get a slap from her...
and with the following part...
(ask and
ask
and ask
again and)
it simply says to keep on being a nosey individual...
ask a
brittle little
person fiddling
in
the
rain
(did you kiss
a girl with nipples
like pink thimbles)
ask
him
ask
who
Now in this part it says ask an easily disrupted midget, which happends to be caught up in the rain, if he ever kissed a girl that had nipples that looked like pink thimbles?....lol now that's weird....but some people might ask that just to see how a midget shows his rage lol j/k any who...that midget will most likely bite them nutz off...lol
(ask and
ask
and ask
ago and)ask a
simple
crazy
thing
singing
in the snow
and finally this last part... which is simply this--->Would you ask a crazy person anything? Period! Finito!
Hellll Naaah!!! to all this weird questions...only crazy weird people singing in the snow will do those kind of questionings..lol
IN other words this poem might mean either stop being nosey with the personal life's of others...or Just simply get a life.
