If Everything Happens That Can't Be Done By E. E. Cummings

If everything happens that can't be done
(and anything's righter than books could plan)
the stupidest teacher will almost guess
(with a run skip around we go yes)
there's nothing as something as one

one hasn't a why or because or although
(and buds know better than books don't grow)
one's anything old being everything new
(with a what which around we go who)
one's every anything so

so world is a leaf is a tree is a bough
(and birds sing sweeter than books tell how)
so here is away and so you’re is a my
(with a down up around again fly)
forever was never till now

now I love you and you love me
(and books are shutter than books can be)
and deep in the high that does nothing but fall
(with a shout each around we go all)
there's somebody calling who's we

we're everything brighter than even the sun
(we're everything greater than books might mean)
we're every anything more than believe
(with a spin leap alive we're alive)
We’re wonderful one times one
