what if a much of a which of a wind: poetry 1

what if a much of a which of a wind by E.E. Cummings

what if a much of a which of a wind
gives the truth to summer's lie
bloodies with dizzying leaves the sun
and yanks immortal stars awry?
blow king to beggar and queen to seem
(blow friend to fiend: blow space to time)
-when skies are hanged and oceans drowned

I like what Cummings does with his writing. He's the only perosn I have ever seen who doesn't capitalize at all when he writes. This was a very good idea of his, because it makes the reader focus on the poetry and not wonder why a certain letter isn't capitalized.
