POEM: In Your Pocket

April 26 is Poem in Your Pocket Day.  Choose a poem you love, copy it out and keep a copy in your pocket to share with folks.
Here's one I'm toting around with me:
[in Just-]
BY E. E. CUMMINGS
in Just-
spring          when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

whistles          far          and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old balloonman whistles
far          and             wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and

         the

                  goat-footed

balloonMan          whistles
far
and
wee
