I say /might/ because I see the spelling of his name his name is often debated:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._E._Cummings#Name_and_capitalization

"In the preface to E. E. Cummings: The Growth of a Writer by Norman Friedman, critic Harry T. Moore notes Cummings 'had his name put legally into lower case, and in his later books the titles and his name were always in lower case.' According to Cummings' widow, however, this is incorrect..."

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 Qu**r
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

-ee cummings
