Утро появляется из темноты,
Как из кокона, покрытое серой пылью.
Сердце лепестков распахивают цветы.
Бабочка разворачивает крылья
И летит. Ее неправильная красивая тень
Движется по земле, окруженная светом.
Жизнь – это первый и последний день.
Но нужно ли бабочке знать об этом?
Бабочка летит. Что она видит вдали?
Всякий полет ярок. Всякая цель нелепа.
Крылья опускаются в сторону земли.
Крылья поднимаются в сторону неба.
Сердечный труд и телесная лень
Свойственны бабочкам и поэтам.
Жизнь – это первый и последний день.
Но нужно ли бабочке знать об этом?
Бабочка летит. В белом цвету
Стоят апельсиновые деревья.
Хочется всё полюбить на лету –
Для любви хватает и однодневья.
Полюбить миндаль, полюбить сирень,
Промелькнуть над крокусом и первоцветом.
Жизнь – это первый и последний день.
Но нужно ли бабочке знать об этом?
Как ни пёстры крылья, но мир пестрей,
То запачкан кровью, то отмыт небесами.
Бабочка летит медленно – пуля летит быстрей,
Замерев на мгновение перед глазами.
Пули цель известна, и она точь-в-точь
Попадет в цель по знакомым метам.
Смерть – это первая и последняя ночь.
Но нужно ли бабочке знать об этом?
Лорка, или полет бабочки

one day a nigger
caught in his hand
a little star no bigger
than not to understand
“i’ll never let you go
until you’ve made me white”
so she did and now
stars shine at night.
a kike is the most dangerous
machine as yet invented
by even yankee ingenu
ity(out of a jew a few
dead dollars and some twisted laws)
it comes both prigged and canted
theys sO alive

Over the years I have read many poems by e. e. cummings, either as a class assignment or a class project. The poem, “a kike is the most dangerous” by e.e. cummings, is a poem that I never knew that existed until I started searching for information on one of the best known American poets of the twenty century. This poem in fact appeared in his collection called Xaiped, which was published in 1950, and at this time in history words like ““nigger” and kike” were commonly used by people, including e.e. cummings. I am trying to figure out the meaning of these three poems, by e.e. cummings. I’ve read them over and over, but I’m still stuck on the words “nigger” and “kike”. I even had to look up the word “kike” and it means a racial slur for a Jewish person. I really just do not get it, maybe, I have the whole thing wrong, perhaps e.e. cumming was really trying to make a point about people in his era and their prejudice in his poetry, as he claims. Maybe, this poem was unintentional racism. However, many critics are not buying it.
