influence can find its way through love and life
writing and power becoming sanctified in a holy box
from you're never going to get anywhere to get on the floor put your hands up
kicked down beaten down with words
somehow between the mix a hero ascended
words and power in fortythree lines
and on and forward (Olaf) sends us into eternity
one day perhaps the words will end
but never can i stop reading them
for if it wasn't for you I would have never started writing poetry
or prose or anything and that's why i need to regard you as a hero
my hero
dear e.e
thank you for creating me anew
i honestly, to any man living or dead, owe my life to you
because I would be nowhere without your words that go on into the Infinite.

i wouldn't be anywhere if i wouldn't have read e.e cumming's "i sing of Olaf glad and big", and I read, and read, until I became a poet, and continue to write, and he inspires me every day.
