may i feel said she by EE Cummings

This poem was not one that stuck out at me the first time that I read it, I had to read it a few times to understand the way that the language was used in the poem. Then, I decided that I really liked it. The poem is written as a stream of consciousness and each line is a different thought from each person. The poem itself is about 2 people being intimate and the man is understood to be cheating on his wife. This does not stop him and he pleasures the woman regardless of his situation. I think that this is a good poem for people to read because it is full of emotion and lust. The people are so caught up in the moment that they are taken away from reality and as much as this is a horrible act to pursue it happens more times that we like to know about. Overall, I like the new language as it is presented in the poem and I like the emotion that is sensed from the two people in the poem because it makes it seem real.
