IFBy E.

CummingsIf freckles were lovely, and day was night,And measles were nice and a lie warn’t a lie,Life would be delight, —But things couldn’t go rightFor in such a sad plightI wouldn’t be I .

If earth was heaven and now was hence,And past was present, and false was true,There might be some senseBut I’d be in suspenseFor on such a pretenseYou wouldn’t be you .

If fear was plucky, and globes were square,And dirt was cleanly and tears were gleeThings would seem fair, —Yet they’d all despair,For if here was thereWe wouldn’t be we .
