Just- spring

Is it springlike where you are?

It’s springlike where I am. And it’s about damn time. So here is a selection of springlike photos, interpreting spring in, I suppose, the most predictable way possible, in which spring = flowers. Whatever, time is short.

quote to go:

“in Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

whistles far and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it’s
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old balloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it’s
spring
and
the

goat-footed

balloonMan whistles
far
and
wee”

—e.e. cummings, “in Just-“
