Poetry Wednesday: some more e.e. cummings

Sorry for the short lapse
in posts,
I was boggling my mind
with chemical things 
and such.

But here is another 
lovely little poem
by good ole
e.e. 
*picture from rotten tomatoes
who knows if the moon's
a balloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
(and if you and i should

get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people

than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited,where

always
it's
Spring)and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves 

Aren't his poems just the perfect mesh
of escapism and whimsy? 
----------------
 Oh summer where are you?
