Spring is like a perhaps hand

Spring is like a perhaps hand

E. E. Cummings, 1894 - 1962

Spring is like a perhaps hand 

 (which comes carefully

 out of Nowhere)arranging 

 a window,into which people look(while 

people stare 

arranging and changing placing 

 carefully there a strange 

 thing and a known thing here)and

 changing everything carefully 

 spring is like a perhaps 

 Hand in a window

 (carefully to 

 and fro moving New and 

 Old things,while 

people stare carefully 

moving a perhaps 

 fraction of flower here placing 

 an inch of air there)and

 without breaking anything.
