For EE Cummings, On The Lord's Anniversary

God's Secret Was Always
That He Had A Wife

They had A Way About Them
That Really Worked
They Were The Only Two People
The first
In The Universe

and so she smiled
and there was light


I Think
A Woman
is always justabitcurious
to know if you really believe she is the only woman in the world

But always happy to find
that she really is

(and the nights warm)
(which, if your job)

So much depends
upon initial conditions
