			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some poems stick with me.  I&#8217;ve thought of this poem by <a title="e e cummings" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ee_cummings">E. E. Cummings</a> since high school: <em>anyone lived in a pretty how town</em>.  Though I don&#8217;t entirely understand the imagery (you can take that statement from the school of thought that says the author has a distinct message to convey), I like the poem for the same reasons I love <a title="M Doughty" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Doughty">Mike Doughty</a>; there&#8217;s a rhythm and a resonance in the word choice.</p>
<blockquote><p>when by now and tree by leaf<br />
she laughed his joy she cried his grief<br />
bird by snow and stir by still<br />
anyone&#8217;s any was all to her</p>
<p>someones married their everyones <br />
laughed their cryings and did their dance<br />
(sleep wake hope and then)they<br />
said their nevers they slept their dream</p></blockquote>
<p>I enjoy it based on how it feels when I hear the words and not because of a deeper understanding.  Why do other people enjoy it?  Or why don&#8217;t they?</p>
