What Got him was Noth
ing & nothings exACT
ly what any
one Living (or some
body Dead
like
even a Poet) could
hardly express what
i Mean is
what knocked him over Wasn't
(for instance) the Knowing your
whole (yes god
damned) life is a Flop or even
to
Feel how
Everything (dreamed
& hoped &
prayed for
months & weeks &days & years
& nights &
forever) is Less than
Nothing (which would have been
Something) what got him was nothing
e.e.cummings

Cummings is one of the poets who believed in the importance of the shape and the visual artisic look of a poem.
That's why he has some unsual style and structure in his poems, just so you know.
