Geocache Description:


The listed coordinates are not for the cache but they’re definitely a good place to start. The cache container is small and has 2 pens, 1 pencil, and a logsheet. Please make sure the cache container and anything connected to it is pushed in well out of sight- this is a high muggle area!

Somewhere, years ago, in an English literature course, I first read the poetry of e. e. cummings which was a little unusual to say the least. Take this first poem, which gives you a good feel for his style:

since feeling is first,Dear
who Pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will Never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while spring is In the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fare than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. don’t Cry
-the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says

we Are for each other; then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life’s not A paragraph

and death i think is no parenthesis


Unlike the seeming simplistic poems of Robert Frost or the complex visual images of Bob Dylan, these poems hit us on an entirely different level altogether. Take this poem, which is long.

little Joe Gould has lost his teeth and doesn’t know where
to find them(And found a secondhand set which click) little
gould used to amputate his appetite with bad brittle
candy but Just(nude eel) now little joe lives on air

harvard Brevis est for handkerchief Read papernapkin no laundry
bills like people preferring negros indians youse
n.b. ye twang of little joe(yankee) gould Irketh sundry
who are trying to find their minds(but never had any to lose)

and a myth is as good as a smile but little joe gould’s quote oral history
unquote might(publishers note) be entitled a wraith’s
progress or mainly awash while chiefly submerged or an amoral
morality sort-of-aliveing by innumerable kind-of-deaths

(Amerique je t’aime and it may be fun to be fooled
but it’s more fun to be more to be fun to be little joe gould)
