POEM: e.e. cummings’ [Buffalo Bill's]

[Buffalo Bill's]

Buffalo Bill’s
defunct
                    who used to
                    ride a watersmooth-silver
                                                                      stallion
and break onetwothreefourfive pigeons justlikethat
                                                                                               Jesus
he was a handsome man
                                             and what i want to know is
how do you like your blueeyed boy
Mister Death

    Ever since first reading this poem perhaps thirty years ago, I am struck by how Cummmings describes Jesus as most certainly being a handsome man. Excellent!
