    not my taste. a fake

    Cummings was right when he titled his work "nobody loved this".
    It does not inspire to read much from this author. The whole lot seems just some impact words and punctuation marks thrown at random pretending with that to give an "avant garde" image of a subtlety that only gifted public or critics would understand.

      I'm only 18, and yet I understand it. I'm not an expert at this- it just takes an open mind.

        Perhaps you would care to share the interpretation from your open mind to my open ears.
