Anyone died (after e.e.cummings)

Anyone died in a pretty ugly town.

With car-smoke floating his lungs went down.

Summer, Winter, Autumn,Spring,  

Went by unnoticed and no birds to sing.

 

Children knew (but ony a few)

It was impossible without morning dew.

But down they forgot as up they grew

And noone sang their didn'ts too.       

 

Sheone loved each tree and leaf.

She shared with Anyone smile and grief.

Bird by snow that wasn’t there

Anyone's "any" was all to her.

 

Eachones married their onlyones

In halls so urban and standard food en masse.

Sleep, wake, some hope and then

They got divorced and looking again.

 

Eachones all of them died at last

For noone stooped to kiss them fast.

Busy folk buried them side by side,

Dream and deed, if and but.

 

More and more, oh deep so deep

They all are lying fast asleep

Sheone and Anyone and each one indeed

Natures dying too, and so be it.

 

Women and men; city smog says,

Winter, Summer, Autumn, Spring,

Reaped they sowing, Nature had its say,

Nothing will be left for people to sing.
